I even held up a piece off of our pizza next to her lips, and it matched perfectly. She currently wears a shade that reminds me of pepperoni. Then, she switched to dark brown, but she got several weird looks from her classmates, so she just went natural for awhile. She used to wear bright pink lipstick to school, but she stopped after a mean girl told her she looked like a clown.
#BEST LIGHT PINK LIPSTICK FOR DARK SKIN SKIN#
I was there with her during those awkward teenage years, as she experimented with all the wrong colors before finally finding what worked best for her skin tone and hair color. My best friend is a redhead, and she has had her fair share of struggles when it comes to choosing flattering shades of makeup. I'm not missing out on anything, really, because my lipstick collection is larger than many of those of my brunette and blond friends. I actually have ten shades of lipstick in my collection that work for my complexion, and many of them are mentioned in this article. Now that I am in my twenties, I have come to accept my situation. I envied women in magazine ads for lipstick who could look awesome in any shade from light pink to deepest brown. I was very sad as a young girl when I discovered that I couldn't wear all the pretty pink and dark lipsticks that my friends were sporting. We have to avoid certain colors of clothing, and our makeup choices are very limited. I want to subtly introduce her to the world of complementary color.īeing a redhead definitely presents challenges.
I need advice, because this is my one chance to help her change without her knowing what I'm doing. Should I start subtly with a light coral color, or should I get her something more interesting, like a shimmery or saturated shade? I don't want to scare her away, but I think that if I get her something too boring, she won't try that, either. She has been stuck on this one nude shade that has blue undertones for years, and I am desperate to break her of that habit. January 7, – I want to get my sister a new shade of lipstick for her birthday, and her hair is borderline orange. Also, it will make her lips very attractive. This will bring out the natural shiny orange in her own hair, but in a modest way. I would suggest a brick-like shade of red, but with a gold shimmer. You need to wow her with something outstanding. If you get her something safe, she will be too tempted to go back to her old, boring, clashing color. After all, you want her to be excited about using it, right? If you get her a melon or a coral, she might just toss it aside and forget about it. January 8, – I think that you should give her something really eye-catching. There are different tones of red hair just like any other color and you must know what your skintone is - cool, warm, or neutral. So don't use this an article as a guideline just because you have red hair. My lips have an almost lavender undertone to them. Now I am trying to find a good nude color that will not make me look like a corpse. Anything brown or orange looking is wrong for my skin tone. I have worn pretty bright berry and fuschia colors on my lips. My complexion came alive once I discovered this. Then I found out that my skin has a cool undertone (blue veins, not green) and that I should be wearing the pinks and cool color.
I spent my teenage years and 20s wearing all the brown-toned peaches and warm undertoned colors of lipstick, blush, and makeup and couldn't figure out why I always looked sick. This article certainly does not apply to all redheads. I'm a total lipstick fiend, so I'm always on the lookout for a new shade. You get a lot of the "premium" labels as well as the major drugstore labels all under one roof. I'd recommend hitting Ulta if there's a store in your area, anyway. Ulta has one called "pink chocolate" in their house brand that is a great nude lipstick. November 4, I'm a fair-skinned, brown-eyed brunette, so I've run into some of the same issues, since I definitely have a cooler skin tone.Ī good nude for me is one with a lot of pink in it.
