How to choose the right lipstick


How to choose the right lipstick

A new lipstick can instantly transform your look for just a few dollars.

Q. HOW CAN I CHOOSE A LIPSTICK COLOR?
A. Start by determining your skin tone:
• Choose mauves, pinks and berries with a hint of pink or orange if you are fair-skinned.
• Pick tans, beiges and browns with a hint of shimmer for medium skin tones.
• Try rich reds, deep plums and other bright colors on darker-skinned women.

Q. SHOULD I THINK ABOUT HAIR COLOR WHEN CHOOSING A SHADE?
A. Absolutely! Especially if you have just dramatically changed your hair color. You'll need to change your entire makeup palette to avoid clashing, and lipstick is where it all starts.

Q.WHAT ABOUT MATCHING LIPSTICK COLOR TO AN OUTFIT?
A. Don't worry about matching to a specific outfit. Concentrate on your skin tone, lifestyle and personality.

Q. ARE THE CHANGING SEASONS IMPORTANT TO COLOR SELECTION?
A. Yes— As you update your seasonal wardrobes, update your makeup colors too. Pale, glossy lipsticks are a terrific summer look, while deep, rich shades shine in the winter.
