Lipstick color palette: which one to choose?

Modern lipsticks have different textures and can be habitually bright and shiny, but also matte and even transparent. With lipstick, we can turn into a vamp woman, a gentle young lady or a mysterious alien. There is no limit to imagination. As it seems, there is no longer a limit in the number of shades …

Bright yet natural

Lipstick in bright shades is in perfect harmony not only with evening dresses, but also with light simple dresses and jeans, that is, it is quite suitable for daytime makeup. The main thing is to give the image a natural look.

Tip: red lipstick, in tone as close as possible to the natural shade of your lips, apply with your fingertips and rub lightly. This will make her look muted and natural. At the same time, only slightly tint the eyes with mascara. “The bright lipstick itself grabs enough attention,” says Tien, Creative Director of Makeup for Dior, wisely.

If you are bored with one shade of lipstick, take several and mix on your wrist. Choose the shade you like the most.

How to choose a lipstick?

To determine the right tone, whether applied to the wrist or to the back, you need to have a good imagination to imagine how it will look on the lips. It is easier to consult with a makeup artist, since now many brands have their representatives in stores.

Tip: Typically, lamps in stores give off a cold light. With this, gently try the scarlet lipsticks with a bluish tint. If the light in the store is yellowish, soft, carefully consider the choice of brick-red shades. And keep in mind that in any artificial light, lipsticks look faded.

Red Army

Red lipstick is the most popular. The art director of the Shiseido brand, world famous make-up artist Dick Page, like many artists, is convinced that red lipstick suits absolutely all young ladies! And when choosing, he advises to be guided by your color type.
