A treat for your luscious lips for 2011

Beauty Tips

The arrays of lipstick colors available are more likely to blow your mind away and bedazzle you with their variety. All the available lipstick colors often tend to overwhelm you and may result in you buying the wrong shade for your skin tone. Not overlooking the fact that most women look prettiest when they wear lipstick and that this one product does more than all other beauty products combined, all make lipstick the numero uno in makeup cosmetics.

Finding the perfect lipstick for your skin tone is not a colossal task. All that you have to determine is the skin tone of your skin. That is the first and foremost step towards applying the ideal lipstick color. You must be mindful of your skin’s natural undertones. Meaning skins with pink undertones do well with a hint of bluish tint. Yellow skin undertones should opt for shades of orange and warmer lipstick colors.

Moreover, women with darker skin tone shouldn’t opt for pink shades as they further highlight the yellowness of their skin tone. Similarly, olive skin tones shouldn’t go for pale pink shades either. One lipstick color that everyone should stay away from is the matte bronze colors which don’t do anything for anyone’s face.

Analyzing your teeth color is as essential as determining the skin tone. Undertones of blue shade brighten your pearly whites whereas shades of orange are not suitable for those who have slightly yellow teeth.  If you have yellow teeth than colors like cocoa brown, plum and pink are most suitable for you.

Sticking close to your natural lip color is the safest way to choose best lipstick colors. Choosing a shade that is a couple of shades lighter or darker from your original lip color is the way to go about it. The easiest way to do this is when buying a lipstick or a lip gloss, apply it on one lip and examine the shade in a mirror to see hoe it goes with the natural color of the other lip and the overall skin tone. Deciding the best lipstick color according to the time of the day is also necessary. For office hours and morning, pink and nudes are the safest option. Whereas when it comes to evening and party time, you can go haywire on your lipstick color and apply darker shades of red, plum or brick.   

Last but not least. You should have a lipstick, lip gloss, or matte lipstick in your makeup bag at all times. You never know when the need arises for you to touch up on your luscious lips.
