One swipe of lipstick can easily pucker up and uplift your look in no time. You feel instantly put together, whether it’s for a virtual meeting or as the last step of your weekend makeup look.
Finding that perfect lipstick can often be an endless search however a few easy checks can help you find your new BFF.
Every lipstick shade has variants. And choosing the right one for yourself depends on your undertone. Look at your veins under natural light and determine their colour. If they look green, your undertone is warm, and red or orange lip shades as base pigments will suit you best. If they look blue, then lipstick shades with purple and blue as base pigments will be a perfect pick for you. And if you can’t really tell if they’re green or blue, you’re super, super lucky as your undertone is neutral, and pretty much any shade will suit you.
Now that we’ve got the basics sorted, join us in celebrating National Lipstick Day with these eight daring lipstick shades.
