Choosing a lipstick to match your eye color
One of the factors influencing the choice of lipstick is the eyes. The color of the iris directly affects the shade of the product, its intensity, brightness and temperature.
Brown-eyed
Girls with brown eyes should refresh their look if they do not want to achieve a monochrome look.
It is worth giving preference to dark red shades, reminiscent of ripe cherries or aged wine.
A bright range, including pink or purple colors, must necessarily be with a warm undertone. Otherwise, the cold lipstick color will give a pale and unhealthy complexion to the face.

Pigmented pink shades are suitable for ladies with black hair. They look appropriate during the day and emphasize the natural beauty.
The rich wine and ruby colors should be reserved for evening style or for the winter season, creating the image of Snow White.
For owners of brown hair, cherry, coral tones of lipsticks are suitable, they perfectly emphasize the youth and texture of the skin. Red shades add brightness and energy to the image. For a cold color type, crimson, dark pink colors are suitable.

Avoid too light neutral colors, this range can whiten your appearance, add fadedness and expressionlessness. If you really want to nude, get a shade with brown and gold notes in the warm or cold spectrum.

Green-eyed

Skin tone
Another factor when choosing a lipstick shade is skin tone.
The invariable rule says that cold colors should be combined with cold, warm - with warm.
If the skin is light, pure colors in pink and red with shimmer, shine or matte texture will do. Any light shades look natural, slightly shading the skin color.

On dark skin, warm shades will accentuate the tan and hair color. A girl with light eyes and dark skin should choose dark matte colors to emphasize the contrast in appearance.

How to match the image?
A matte finish can create a defiant look. To avoid this, it is preferable to take lipstick with a satin effect or dilute the matte finish with a small amount of lip gloss.
It should be remembered that the matte texture enhances the size and shape of the lips. If they are naturally thin, such lipstick will visually make them even smaller, so this product should be left only to owners of plump lips.
Matte lipsticks are more durable to wear than glossy finishes due to their dry formula. Before applying such lipstick, you should take care of moisturizing the surface of the skin of the lips.

A glossy finish in any shade can be formed by shimmer or fine sequins. The classic transparent gloss is able to visually correct the shape of the lips, make them plump due to the reflected light.
Shiny pearlescent lips require the right stylistic look.
Pearlescent particles in the wrong lipstick color can negatively affect the girl's appearance and her skin color.

Lipstick-balms contain few coloring pigments.The color palette is observed here from light, almost invisible shades to almost black. But, despite such an intense color in the tube, the product will lie in a translucent layer on the lips. Like glitters, it is suitable for all lip shapes, adding extra hydration.

The satin finish gives a delicate shine. Outwardly, it is similar to matte, but has a softer and wetter formula. Natural natural shades are suitable for the office and daytime walks. The nude shade of lipstick is combined with light dresses, skirts, trouser suits and with any other clothing of simple and complex design.
Saturated colors are the prerogative of formal evening looks, bright makeup colors are also suitable for visiting the theater. In an office style, if the employer permits, the use of bright red lipstick is perfectly acceptable.
If you want dark shades or luscious accents during the day, there is a universal way to achieve this goal. It all depends on the technique of applying the product. When used with a brush or squeezed out of a tube, the lipstick produces a strong pigmented layer of paint.
To make the color more transparent and calm, it is necessary to imprint a small amount of lipstick into the skin of the lips with your fingers or a paper towel, creating the effect of light makeup.
However, this version of wearing lipstick is not persistent due to the presence of a small amount of pigment on the lips.

For makeup with arrows or bright details, choose neutral lipstick colors. The emphasis should be on only one detail of the face. When using juicy wine or dark lipsticks, the eyes remain clean, without makeup.
The appearance of brunettes can maintain a simultaneous emphasis on the lips and eyes, but provided that the appearance of the girl itself is contrasting, as a rule, this is a winter color type. Otherwise, the feeling of an overloaded and vulgar image will be created.

To create a complete look in make-up, blush should be matched to the color of the lipstick or use the old method - the direct application of pigment from a tube of lipstick to the cheeks. The product should be rubbed with your hands, and if there is too much color, powder or lightly brush with a foundation brush. This method is not suitable for owners of oily skin. The oils in lipstick can affect acne and clogged pores.
There are many samples from all brands in stores. When choosing a lipstick, it is not necessary to apply it to the lips, it is enough to twist the tube and simply apply it to the lips. This will make it easier to understand whether a color is appropriate or not. This method also works with liquid lipsticks in transparent packages. Alternatively, you can dab some of the product on the top of your hand.

Common mistakes
Let's dwell on some of the mistakes that girls often make when choosing one or another lip makeup product, and Also consider tips from experts in the beauty industry.
- Modern blue, black, white and other unnatural lipstick colors are not suitable for girls with brown eyes. These extravagant shades should be left for the catwalk or themed photo shoots, parties.
- Using dark or bright red colors on thin lips will create a "lip-strings" effect. Also, do not use matte textures.
- On very plump lips, bright red lipstick looks flashy and vulgar.
- Brunettes with brown eyes are not recommended to use colors that visually whiten their lips.
- Shades that are too saturated with mother-of-pearl are an unfortunate choice for brunettes with any eye color. Mother-of-pearl accentuates wrinkles and any imperfections in the skin, just like red lipstick.

- Orange also doesn't suit all brunettes. This shade is quite complex and cannot be combined with most color types.
- The wrong color and temperature spectrum of lipstick will give the impression of yellow teeth.
- It is not recommended to buy lipstick out of habit. The numbers of products from the same manufacturer from batch to batch are the same, but the shade of the lipstick itself may vary.
- You should definitely test the color you like before buying it in the store, and the same shade in daylight street light. Often, the color spectrum does not coincide, since the stores have cold-type lighting installed.
- Buying a friend's lipstick color is another common mistake. Each person has his own unique appearance, so the colors that go to blondes on brunettes will look inappropriate and unnatural.
