Light or Very Fair Skin
Tone
Orange
based shades work beautifully with your fair skin tone, they illuminate your
lips without seeming too bold or completely washing you out (like nude shades-a
big no no) I recommend you try some of these fabulous lipsticks: Sportsgirl
in beauty queen ($9.95), a beautiful everyday faint pink gloss. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rendez-Vous ($34.00), a blue-based
intense pink rouge with a luminous shine. MAC in Who’s That Chick ($38.00), swap your nude for this summery golden-stained
pout, it’s divine! YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Le Orange ($34.00) for your statement
lippy, the satin texture leaves your lips moist and damp, so the orange colour
isn’t overpowering.
Light-Beige Skin Tone
If
you have a light-beige skin tone, you’ll find warmer shades of lipstick look
fabulous with your complexion. Corals, pinks and lively neutrals will make your
lips look so dreamy and exotic! I suggest: Missha Signature Glam Art Rouge ($15.99), a stunning
peach texture, perfect for an on-the-go lipstick! Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushing Mauve ($16.00), it
contains moisturisers like Aleo and Vitamin E, this lipstick promises a rich,
long lasting and classic colour! Chanel Rouge Coco in Paradis ($34.00), a delightful sheeny pink lipstick that leaves
you with a gorgeous glow! MAC in Raspberry Swirl ($36.00), a chic candy colored shade that will entirely
cover your lips with pink, a sweet and succulent shade that I guarantee you
will love!
Tan or Olive Skin Tone
Cool
undertones (plum, raspberry and pastel) team up with your immaculate sun-kissed
skin to create the perfect combination of sexy and subtle! Having a cool
undertone myself, I’ve tried so many lipsticks over the years, but these are my
utmost faves – you must try and buy! YSL Rouge Pur Couture in Rosy Coral ($34.00), such a juicy and glamorous watermelon shade that gives your lips a
radiant, satin finish. Revlon Super Lustrous Matte in Really Red ($7.99),
my favorite true-red shade, the matte effect works fabulously with red; your
lips will look regal and bold - the ultimate statement lippy! Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Suspense ($34.00), this glossy shade with a subtle glow is a
boisterous addition to complete any look!
Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte in M PK ($30.00), an
irresistible princess pink shade perfected with an exhilarating matte finish
that will give you full and long lasting colour.
Dark Skin Tone
Bright
colors that pop are pulled of best on darker skin! Leave your comfort zone and
experiment with gold’s and tangerine’s, they transform your ordinary look into
something so radiant and bold! Try NP Set Lipstick in Rio ($19.80), its
creamy and comfortable texture is perfect for your everyday go-to mauve. MAC Strikingly Fabulous ($36.00) for your perfect pink-pout shade, absolutely
flattering on darker skin! Make Up Store in Dare ($35.00), another
bright colour to plump up and volumise your lips for a saucy evening occasion! Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Scenario ($34.00), to add the finishing touch to your
look, you will need this gorgeous chocolate-berry mixed gloss!
