This color has hundreds of halftones and dozens of application options. Don’t be afraid to find your red by trial and error. Focusing on skin color.
If you have it pinkish, classic red lipstick is ideal. For warm skin tones, opt for lipsticks with an orange undertone. For a dark-skinned person, wine colors with purple hues are suitable.
To make the lipstick last longer, shade the entire surface of the lips with a pencil, and not just draw the outline.
Unfortunately, there is no universal nude lipstick. Even such a seemingly neutral color must be selected. And the reference point is skin tone again. For milky white, lipsticks with delicate shades of melted cream are ideal. Beige shades are suitable for Snow White. Olive-skinned girls can experiment with the entire nude range. The main rule is to choose a color that is lighter or darker than the face. For swarthy girls, lipsticks are caramel-colored with a pink tint.
It is important to pay attention not only to the color, but also to the shape of the lips and the technique of applying lipstick. The fashion for a clearly traced lip contour has slightly lost ground, giving way to the trend of “kissed lips”, that is, the trend is the option of applying with a shaded contour. To achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to apply a rich color of lipstick along the inner edge of the lips and gradually reduce the color to naught to the outside. Please note that even neutral shades do not tolerate negligence. Moreover, nude lipstick emphasizes the imperfections of the skin of the lips. Therefore, treat your skin with a scrub before makeup.
