Nothing quite like that right lipstick to transform your look and give you an instant confidence boost. But with all the shades and types of products in the market today, it’s hard to find the right one that brings out the best in all your features. The secret to taking the guesswork out of your lipstick hunt? It’s all about your skin tone and undertone.
Know Your Skin Tone and Undertones
If you aren’t sure about your skin tone and undertones, it won’t be easy to nail the color that best suits you. People have uniquely varying hues, so it’s hard to put skin tones into categories. Generally, however, skin shades are typically broken down by fair, light, medium, olive, and deep. But that’s not all that matters; you’ll also have to identify whether your undertone is warm, cool, or neutral.
One quick trick to determine your undertone is by looking at the veins in your wrist in bright light or daylight. Veins that appear blue or purple indicate cool undertones, while those that look green mean you have warm undertones. If the color of your veins is a mix of the two, then your undertone is neutral.
You can also check what color of jewelry looks best on you if you’re still unsure. If you find that gold jewelry complements your skin tone best, then you have warm undertones. Cooler undertones, meanwhile, go better with silver jewelry.
