You can't really pick the one right color for lip gloss. It depends on what style or look you like. Almost any lip gloss will look good. It also depends on what you're wearing. If you're wearing cool colors then you should try pink lip glosses (possibly cultured by MAC) and if you're wearing warm colors then you should try a neutral beige that's kind of orangey (possibly prrr or love nectar by MAC). The MAC colors are the ones I use. I happen to like the texture and application sponge of their tinted lipglasses vs their lustre glasses.

Gloss is typically a light color with shine and moisturizers. It's isn't meant to color your lips the way lipstick does. Look for something that's your lip color, only darker. It would probably be called something like "Pink Shimmer" or "First Blush".
If you want lip color, check into lipsticks or cremes. Then get a color that complements your entire coloring. If you aren't used to wearing lip color, start with something close to your lip color, then progress towards more vibrant and colorful ones.
Try this to find some good colors for you:

What color blush do you normally wear? If you wear pink toned blush, then your lip color should be in a similar shade. If you wear brown toned blush then....and so on. If you wear no blush and just tanned, then opt for a shade slightly darker than your natural lipcolor. You don't want to overdo it and make your face unbalanced. Sometimes a nice wet-look clear gloss looks gorgeous with tanned skin.

If u think ur lips are really really light then u could use a dark pink color.If u think ur lips are a fair color u could put an shine lip gloss. If u think they are 2 dark u could put on a light lip gloss but not too light. It has to match ur skin if ur lips are 2 dark.

It relies upon on what fact you attempt to make with your makeup. in case you desire to look organic, then gently coated lip gloss. in case you like a extra polished look, in basic terms a sprint of shade lipstick. good luck!

white face=light pink,orange,peach.
black face=peach,purple,red.
brown=light brown,light red,light pink.
medium fairish skin(just like you)=pink(sheer colour),red(not to dark).
do you want to know something,lip gloss is matching if the colour of your face is match just like im write.

nature gave you your lip color and that's what will always look best. clear is good.
but for more color
if u have really white teeth, red is good
but if you have a yellowish tinge, mauve is good.
or a dark brown red, depending on oyur age and the occasion.

I would go to a makeup counter like Clinique, and try alot of different shades on and see which colors you like best.
