Which lipstick best suits your skin and hair?

¿Qué labial va mejor con tu piel y tu pelo?

Welcome back!

Today, by popular demand, we're talking about lips. If you're following us, it's probably because lipstick is a very important element in your routine. Lip color can be the detail that makes the difference in a look, but it's not always easy to choose the shade that best suits your features and your skin, eye, and hair tone. Fair skin tones, for example, need vibrant colors that bring joy, while dark-skinned women choose warm tones that contrast and harmonize. But there's more to keep in mind. We'll give you some tips for showing off your best colors.

White skin and blond hair

This is the skin type of Nordic women, although many of us here have that skin type. To take advantage of this skin type, you need to harmonize your blush and lipstick . The shades that best suit a light complexion are included in the warm range: pink, fuchsia, carmine, brown, and orange . Avoid nudes or blacks, and always opt for an orange gloss, like our Sahara Lipgloss or Peach . But if you want to create a striking look, opt for a matte lipstick that highlights your lips, like our Valentine or our beloved Vamp .

Light skin and dark hair

It is a combination of the two previous prototypes. For this type of skin, you have to look for cool colors And for greater contrast with the skin tone, choose intense shades, as long as they harmonize with the hair color. The most elegant are blue-based colors: pink, fuchsia, scarlet and red .

Light brown/tan skin

This skin color is medium and generally warm, they are the ones that tan in summer. They are yellowish base skins that should choose warm shades of Orange, peach, coral, brown, cherry, red, and burgundy bases . Avoid colder shades. To create a greater impact in your makeup, a matte texture is recommended. And for mattes, ours! Stone and Blondie will make you fall in love, and Vamp will be a great match. If you have light hair, you can also try pastel shades, and if your hair is dark, it's better to opt for darker colors.

TIP : Highlight your eyes with a beige nude lipstick, or a cherry-based lip color.

Brown skin

The ones that do: If you have dark skin, it tends toward warm colors, so you should avoid very contrasting and very light colors. The most flattering ones are deep colors with a touch of shine to make them stand out from the rest of your face. Reds that lean more toward orange finishes will always look better on you than cooler ones, as they'll enhance your tanned skin . Corals and peaches also provide a much more natural makeup look. You can vary the textures.

Dark skin

If you have very dark or black skin, the ideal thing is to make your lips stand out, either by choosing lipsticks with a lot of shine, or by choosing Very bright tones : reds, pinks, and oranges. It's best to avoid matte tones and dark colors like brown or burgundy, which will leave the skin looking dull.
