Finding the perfect lipstick shade can be daunting, with many colors and finishes available. However, with a few essential tips, you can easily find the perfect lipstick shade for your skin tone. There is no ultimate guide on how to find the perfect lipstick shade for your skin tone. However, the great thing about lipstick is that you will find a shade you love no matter who you are.
Lipstick is one of the most fun parts of any makeup look, and you should feel free to wear whatever shade creates your desired look, be it a bold color, a subtle neutral, or a statement hue that takes center stage. Hundreds will suit your look. All you have to do is track them down.
If you’re looking for a new, tried-and-true shade that will bring out the best in your undertones, we have tips for finding a lipstick you’ll love confidently. Here are some tips on how to find your perfect lipstick match.
Identify Your Undertone
Generally, your undertones are cool if your skin has a pink, red, or bluish hue. You can tell your undertone is cool if the veins in your wrist look blue or purple, if silver jewelry complements your skin best, or if your skin tends to burn in the sun before becoming brown.
Knowing your skin’s undertone will help you choose the right lipstick. Provided you’re warm, your skin will lean towards yellow or golden, while cool skin has more of a pink, red, or blue tinge.

Now, match your lipstick shades to the tones of your skin. Opt for peachy nudes, oranges, and brick reds if you’re warm. However, if your undertone is cool, go for pinky nudes, poppy reds, and berries.
Arm Swatches
Another good way to see if a shade will match your skin tone is to swatch it on your arm. It’s a quick, smart test to run before committing to color on your lips. Furthermore, arm swatches are a must when you’re stuck on which shade to wear that day. Swipe your favorites on and compare before applying your chosen hue onto your pout.
How To Discern Your Skin Tone?
Before looking for a lipstick shade, you must discern your skin tone. Skin tone refers to your skin’s undertone, which can be warm, cool, or neutral. As earlier stated, to determine your skin tone, look at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple, you have a cool undertone.
However, if they appear green, you have a warm undertone. You likely have a neutral undertone if you can’t tell if your veins are blue or green. If, after discerning your undertone, it’s warm, go for lipstick shades with golden, orange, and red undertones.
If it’s cool, use lipstick shades with pink, blue, and purple undertones. People with neutral undertones, on the other hand, can wear a wide range of lipstick shades. However, shades with warm and cool undertones can be incredibly flattering.

Identify Your Eye Color
Identifying your eye color is as important as discerning your undertone, as it can help guide you toward the perfect lipstick shade. If you have blue or green eyes, shades with pink or coral undertones can complement them.
In addition, for brown eyes, warm-toned shades like orange or brown can enhance the color of your eyes. If you have hazel eyes, neutral or warm-toned lipstick can bring out the green or gold flecks in your eyes.
Consider Your Hair Color
Your hair color can also influence the best lipstick shade for you. If you have warm-toned hair, such as blonde or light brown with golden highlights, warm-toned lipsticks will complement your hair.
Although cool-toned lipsticks will look best on cool-toned hair, such as ash blonde or black, if you have red hair, you can choose either warm or cool tones, depending on your skin’s undertone.
Match Your Style
However, if you have a signature makeup style, match your lipstick to that. After all, your pout must complement the rest of your favorite products. There are no rules, but here are our recommendations: a pink-nude lip looks dreamy with a smokey eye. Also, red lips amp up sculpted skin and bare lids.
In summary, It’s important to note that skin tone and undertone are two very different things. Skin tone refers to whether your skin is deep, medium, or light and can vary depending on the season and sun exposure.
On the other hand, the undertone reflects the base of your skin. This means that the idea that fair skin can’t be warm or deep skin can’t be cool is a misinterpretation. So, for the makeup enthusiasts and the no-makeup girlies, hope this helps!
