Choosing your lipstick is mainly based on skin color.

Lipstick is that extra touch that gives you a healthy glow and self-confidence. But which shade should you choose to enhance your features? It all depends on your skin color, hair color and also the color of your teeth.
Want to spice up your look without spending thirty minutes in front of the mirror? The simplest is to opt for a note of color on your lips. A beautiful lipstick well applied and you will cause a sensation! All that remains is to find the best color to shine.
Depending on your complexion
Choosing your lipstick is mainly based on skin color.
- For fair complexions, it is best to opt for reds that tend towards orange, coral, apricot; but also for pink tones, whether bright or light.
- Profiles with a tanned, golden complexion can also dare to wear bright reds and oranges. All “nude” shades (beige, caramel, pink, etc.) suit them.
- Dark skin tones will go for cool colors: plum or burgundy, for example.
Depending on your hair
We detail which colors to wear depending on your hair:
- Brown hair can opt for dark reds (plum, dark purple, burgundy, etc.) as well as light tones. For them, anything goes! If you are brunette with a fair complexion, opt for softer colors.
- Blondes, to enhance their complexion, can try all shades of pink. Opting for coral or red from time to time is also possible. But avoid dark tones.
- Redheads have a more limited choice but one that will perfectly highlight their hair: go for pink-orange, peach, apricot, powder pink or even very light brown. Be careful, to avoid the faux pas, avoid tones that are too dark or too bland.
Depending on your teeth
The shade of your teeth is very important when choosing a lipstick. “Coral or orange tones do not flatter people who have slightly yellow teeth,” explains the representative of the BE Creative Make Up red range that we interviewed.
All you have to do is choose the color that suits you best! Tip: for a lipstick to have the best effect, remember to moisturize your lips daily with cocoa butter but also by drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day.
