Finding the right lip color can be a game changer for your makeup look. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the one that complements your skin tone and style.

One helpful tip is to consider your undertone—whether it’s warm, cool, or neutral. Testing different shades on your wrist can give you an idea of how they might look on your lips. Also, don’t shy away from trying different finishes, like matte, glossy, or satin, as they can dramatically change the overall effect.

What techniques or products have you found useful for selecting lip colors? Do you have any favorite brands that you recommend?

I usually go for a lip color that matches my natural lip shade, like a tint or sheer lipstick. It’s way more forgiving if you’re not sure what works for you. Also, I’ve had a lot of luck with brands like Fenty and Milani—they have a great range that suits different skin tones!

I totally get how tricky this can be! I usually swipe a few shades on my fingers instead of my wrist; it gives a better idea of how they’ll actually look on my lips. For brands, I’ve been obsessed with Fenty and ColourPop lately—they have so many shades and the formulas are on point!
