Picking the right shade of lipstick is crucial in determining your entire look. You can spend minutes applying the lipstick perfectly and defining your lips expertly but your efforts are entirely wasted if the shade of the lipstick does not compliment your skin tone and natural lip colour. Not everyone can carry off all the popular shades in fashion and it is better to stick to colours that enhance your natural beauty.

While browsing through shades it is important to remember that what looks good on models in posters and might be the “it” colour of the season might be entirely unsuited for you. Hence, before buying a lipstick you must test the shade. Instead of trying it on the back of your hand, dab the colour onto your fingertips. Always remember to check what the shade looks like in natural light. The artificial settings of the department store are often created to enhance sales.

The age old practice of wearing light summery shades in the day and deeper, richer shades in the evening is a good way to use make up. Buy colours like pink, orange and peach for the day time and deep mauves and burgundy for the night.
