Picking a shade of lipstick can seem like an all-day process. When going to the make-up counter and seeing all the pretty shades and brands, it can be quite overwhelming. I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be!
The first thing to take into consideration is your skin tone and natural lip color. According to make-up master Bobbi Brown, the most attractive shades are those one or two shades darker than your natural lip color.
The best way to find the perfect shade of lipstick is to experiment! Don’t purchase a color without trying it because it looks like the perfect shade—chances are you will not like it once you try it on. Many stores such as MAC, Sephora or any make-up counter at the mall give samples of lipsticks! What is very trendy now in fashion is neon lipstick!
