What to know about lipstick shades for medium skin tones

I am sure you know that the fact whether a lipstick shade looks good on you is determined by the skin tone that you have so in order to find the perfect lipstick shape first you should know your skin tone. In this article I am going to tell you about the suitable lipstick shades for medium skin tones.

Once you know your skin tone you should also determine your undertone. I am sure you know that there are three main skin tone types: light medium and dark skin tones, but besides these the skin tone you have might have a cool or warm complexion. You can determine this by checking whether you have a yellow or pink hue of the skin. Those shades that are right for your undertone will leave you looking good and fresh while the other colors might make you pale.

Those women who have medium skin tone and cool undertone in most cases have pink cheeks or pale cheeks. Women with the same skin tone but with warm undertones have a yellow, peach, beige or gold hue in their skin.

There is a very interesting method to see what undertone you have: look at the veins in your wrist. In case they are blue most probably you have a cool undertone, but if they are green than you might have a warm undertone.

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that the color of the hair and the eyes might also influence your decision when it comes to finding the right shade of lipstick. If you happen to have brown hair with gold, auburn, or copper highlights most probably you look good in warm colors. The same thing is true for those women who have brown or hazel eyes. On the other hand if you have ash blonde, grey, black or cool brown hair you are very likely to look good in cool shades. Women with blue or green eyes tend to look good in cool tones.

Those women who have a cool undertone would look very good with those shades that have a blue base. In this case you would better avoid using neutral colors because you might look washed out. Here are some shades that you might want to take into consideration: red, berry, pink, coffee brown, magenta, mauve and rose.

Those women who have warm complexions should opt for earth tone colors or mauve and berry shades. It might be a good idea to avoid bright pinks and bright browns. In this case the best shades for you might be caramel, coral, deep burgundy, mauve, rich brown, orange and yellow based red, and wine.

I am sure that now you know a lot more about lipstick shades for medium skin tones and if you keep the things I have mentioned in mind I am sure that there will be no way for you to go wrong with the lipstick color or shade that you choose. What do you think about it?
