Zo vind je de perfecte lipstick

Lipstick can be used for an amazing party look as well as for daytime. It's basically a must-have. A good lipstick can give your look or even outfit that little extra for any occasion. It's important to find a color that suits you. Finding it difficult? We're here to help you out a bit.

Warm and cool colors
Do you know what undertone your skin has? No? No problem, we have a trick for you. Look at the skin on your neck. Is it a bit yellowish or maybe even leaning towards gold? Then you have a warm undertone. More pink or red? Then your undertone is cool. You can also check the veins on your wrist. With a cool undertone, they appear blue, while a warmer undertone leans more towards green.

The most beautiful lipstick for a warm undertone
Once you've figured out your undertone, it's time to choose a lipstick. Do you have a warm undertone? Go for a lipstick with a warm color like brown, orange, or red to make your skin glow. But be careful! There are also red shades with a cool undertone, which often lean more towards purple.

That same purple-red lipstick looks stunning when you have a cool skin tone. But nude shades with a blue undertone, purple, and even blue/green can also be rocked by you. Look at the shade of your skin and match it with the most beautiful lipstick.

The most beautiful lipstick for your hair color
The color of your hair can also play a role in choosing your perfect lip color. Do you have light hair? Then a nude or pink lipstick will look fantastic on you. Darker hair? Brown or bright red shades will complete your look.

Tips & tricks

  • Do you have slightly yellow teeth? Avoid yellow and orange lipstick shades. Cool tones will make your teeth appear whiter.
  • Do you think your lips are too big? Try a matte lipstick; it can make them look a bit smaller.
  • Do you think your lips are too small? Skip the dark colors. Use a nice gloss; it will make them look a bit bigger.
  • When it comes to nude lipstick, make sure you don't go lighter than your own skin tone.
  • Did you buy a lipstick that you don't like? Don't throw it away! You can mix it with another color to create a beautiful look.

If all of this means that there's a color you love that doesn't fit these 'rules', that's totally fine. Just go for it. Ultimately, it's about what makes you feel best; these are just guidelines. Have fun!
