Do you remember the good times of old when there were only two options for pink lipsticks? Hot pink lipstick or baby pink lipstick? This is no longer the case. There are many pinks on the market today, making it easier to find that perfect pink for you lips. But is that true? But not really. Even if you pick a pink shade from the many available, you may end up looking completely washed out. It's so frustrating.
The good news is that there are pink lipsticks for all skin tones.
Here's a complete guide on choosing the perfect pink lipstick shade for you. It also includes a breakdown of all the available pink shades in the market. Have fun shopping!
1. Pink Lipsticks For Fair & Light Skin Tone
If you have fair skin and a light complexion, you may have pink undertones. (PS: Make sure to check if you have any blue veins). You should choose true pinks like candy pinks or hot pinks to brighten your skin and make your eyes stand out. Do you want a natural, subtle look? Light pink lipsticks are the best choice for a natural look.
If you have warm undertones (PS. Green veins indicate yellow undertones), then stay with warmer pinks to avoid looking too jaded.
2. Pink Lipsticks For Medium & Olive Skin Tone
All ladies rejoice! Olive skin can be matched with any shade of the sun, even tan. You don't even need to worry about your skin's undertones. This skin tone is perfect for rich mauves and dark pink lipstick shades. For a fresh look, you can choose berry shades or rich watermelon colors. For a sophisticated day look, choose nudish and caramel pinks if you like a coffee-tinge in your pinks. You should avoid pink lipsticks with blue undertones. They can make you look drab. It's easy enough.
3. Pink Lipsticks For Dark & Dusky Skin Tone
It is not surprising that radiant colors and dusky skin tones are a perfect match. Bold lipsticks for deeper skin tones can be bold. You can make heads turn with bold shades like fuchsia. For a really striking effect, try a dark pink lipstick that has magenta and plum undertones. You don't have to use only jewel-toned pink shades.
