Go Glossy: Get lips looking shiny AF with a sweep of pink lip gloss. Think sugary pastel and candy pinks to build a pop of colour on lips, or peachy pinks to warm your complexion. For example, if you’re not sure if a particular shade will work for your skin tone and undertone, know that a sheer finish has the potential to look more complementary than a bold, pigmented matte.Your Shades: Try pale, light, delicate pink lipsticks with a blue undertone. While this rule can apply to any color family, it’s important to keep a lipstick’s pigment payoff and finish in mind when shopping for your best match. Pay Attention to Pigment Payoff and Finish

“Lighter skin tones look best in brighter reddish pinks.' “Deeper skin tones look best with brighter fuchsia shades of pink, while medium skin tones look great with warmer orange-pinks,” she says. While undertones play an important role in finding the best pink, Daoud also recommends basing your decision on your skin tone-especially when it comes to bolder hues. “For instance, if you’re a cooler undertone, you’ll want to choose a pink with a blue undertone.” Those with warm undertones will find a better match with fuchsias and pinks that read slightly red or orange, while those with neutral undertones can get away with almost any shade. “Knowing your undertone is important, as well as the undertone of the lipstick,” she says. Not all shades of pink will work for everyone, so Daoud recommends paying attention to undertones.
