What Colors to Wear – Buying Lipsticks
By mati. Filed in Fashion, What are My Best Colors to Wear |Tags: What are my best colors to wear
Have you ever gone to the cosmetics isles looking for a lipstick, and not had a clue which color to buy? If you know what category your natural coloring belongs in, it doesn’t have to be too hard to pick a color that will work for you. (If you don’t know what category you belong to, CLICK HERE if you want to learn more about my new system for determining what colors to wear.)
The pastel category
If you belong to this category, you look best in light pinks, peaches and nudes. Stay away from anything too bright or too dark, since it will simply overpower your coloring.
The mid-range muted category
If you belong to this category, your coloring is very soft and delicate, and you may find it difficult to find a nice looking lip stick color. What you need is a color that is not too light (they wash you our), too dark (too much contrast) or too bright (totally overpowering). So, look for a color with medium darkness, as neutral as possible. People in this category look fabulous in neutrals and nudes. Stay away from any kind of fancy colors; they don’t suit you, it is as simple as that. Brown based, soft mauves and basic “close to lip color” lip sticks look best, especially if they are sheer. If you are a dramatic type with soft coloring, you might want to try using gloss to give your lips an extra zing, since you can’t get away with using strong color.
The bright category
You ladies are lucky, you can get away with whatever fun, bright colors you like. Stay away from muted neutrals and pastels, which don’t really fit your coloring. You can use corals, reds and berries. Lucky girls!
The dark muted category
You can use those lovely dark velvety colors that make us palefaces look like ghosts. Don’t even think of using pastels! Those light colors are all wrong for your coloring. You might be able to get away with some medium colored nudes and neutrals if you like lighter colors, but your best choices are dark muted colors. You may get away with bright red for night makeup, but make sure the red is a little bit muted, like a brick color. It will look a lot better than fire engine red!
The dark bright category
With your black hair, skin and eyebrows, you can basically wear any of the bright colors, as long as they are fairly dark. Stay away from pastels. The only way you can wear pastels is if you want to try a sheer pink gloss for daytime makeup.
This should help you zoom in on the colors that suit you the best, and you won’t end up with so many lipsticks that look awful after you put them on. (At least, now you know WHY they look aweful). But, before you go shopping for lipsticks, go through your makeup drawer and get rid of all the colors that don’t suit your natural coloring first. What is the point of keeping those? Just replace them with lipsticks from your own color category, and you’ll look fantastic! Forget about fashion! It is all about finding your own individual style with colors that suit you!
