Best Ways to Find Your Perfect Lipstick Shade

Before & After
1

Finding the right lipstick shade can be a real challenge! With so many colors and finishes available, it can feel overwhelming. Have you ever walked into a store and just felt lost among all the options?

One trick is to consider your skin undertones. Warm undertones might shine with coral or orange shades, while cool undertones can pull off pinks and berries beautifully. It’s also helpful to swatch a few shades on your hand or wrist to see how they look in natural light.

What methods do you use to select your lipstick? Have you found any particular brands or shades that you always reach for?

I’ve found that testing shades in natural light is key, but I also love using Instagram or Pinterest to look up swatches before I shop. Sometimes a brand looks stunning on a model but doesn’t work on my skin tone. And have you tried those virtual try-on apps? They can actually help narrow down your choices!

I totally get that feeling! I usually try to swatch colors against my lip rather than my hand; it gives a better idea of how it’ll actually look. Plus, if you can, check out brands that offer sample sizes—it’s a game changer for experimenting without committing!
