Choosing the right lip color can instantly brighten your face and elevate your entire look. But with so many shades available, how do you pick one that suits your skin tone? Here’s a simple guide to help you find lip colors that complement your complexion beautifully.
Fair Skin Tones
Cool undertones? Go for soft pinks, rosy nudes, berry shades, or cherry reds.
Warm undertones? Try peachy pinks, coral, or warm rose.
Avoid: Shades that are too pale or beige—they can wash you out.
*Top Picks: Rosewood pink / Soft coral / Cool-toned berry
Medium Skin Tones
Medium complexions look great in a wide range of shades.
Try: Mauve, rose, cranberry, and deep peach shades.
For a bold look: Brick red or terracotta shades are perfect.
*Top Picks: Warm pink / Burnt orange / Classic red
Olive Skin Tones
Olive skin usually has green or neutral undertones, so balance is key.
Try: Rich reds, plum, caramel, and nude browns with a pink base.
Avoid: Shades with too much gray or ash—they may look dull.
*Top Picks: Raspberry / Caramel nude / Deep wine
Deep Skin Tones
Deeper complexions glow in bold, rich shades.
Try: Deep plums, dark berries, burgundy, and chocolate browns.
For everyday: Terracotta and rich nudes with red or orange undertones work well.
*Top Picks: Burgundy / Cocoa brown / Brick red
