Lipstick colour guide- Which shade is right for me?

Nothing is off limits!

Really, everyone is free to wear whatever they like! However, you can of course choose the colour of your lipstick based on your skin tone, hair colour or your outfit. There are no rules when it comes to make-up, it's all about fun and creativity. Lipstick does not only emphasises your natural beauty, it is also an expression of your personality and your mood. A bold red, soft nude or bright pink... Whatever tickles your fancy!

However, it is essential to choose the right undertone

When it comes to picking the right shade of lipstick for for your lips, your skin tone and undertone are key. There are three skin undertones: cool, warm and neutral. Cool skin undertones are characterised by pink or bluish hues. Warm undertones, on the other hand, are characterised by yellow to golden hues. A neutral skin tone has neither blue nor yellow undertones.

How you determine your skin undertone!

Unsure about your skin type? We can help: To determine your skin undertone, look at the veins on the inside of your wrist in daylight

Cool undertones tend to have bluish looking veins. If your veins look somewhat green, you have a warm skin tone. If your veins look neither blue nor green, your skin type is most likely neutral.
