Answer 2

First, check out your wardrobe. Which colors do you look best in? Cool colors (white, blue, forest green, black) or warm colors (orange, yellow, army green, brown)? You want the color group that makes you look like you're glowing, not sallow or washed out.

If you look good in cool colors stick to: bluish reds (like wine red, cranberry, even flag red), plums (careful here, some plums will make dark skin look sallow), and cool pinks (a cotton candy or soft petal gloss).

If you look good in warm colors: orangey reds (like tomato red, some scarlets), peaches, and corals

Personally, I would advise a nude gloss for day and a good red for night.

WARNING: Red lipstick can give you a sexy, polished look but finding the RIGHT red is tough. This is when skin tone really comes into play. Whichever you choose, buy a liner in the same color, line and fill before you apply the lipstick. (Some people are starting to line and fill after they apply. This can work but it depends on the particular products you're using.) The liner is necessary because it will help keep your lips neat and avoid the look of the red "bleeding" past your lip line. You can tell you've chosen the wrong red when you look in the mirror and all you see is the color, like your lips are stuck on your face. A good red augments your look instead of dominating it.

Benetint by Benefit is a lip stain that looks good on everyone regardless of race. It looks intense in the bottle, but trust me.

I have friends who swear by Black Honey by Clinique which is their best seller. It's too plummy for me but it has a lovely sheer quality and it might work for you.

Good luck!

There is always one rule when it comes to lipsticks. BLEND. Never use just one color. To get a perfect color requires blending two or more colors, glosses, or liners with a lipstick. For example, taking a nuetral brown with a red hue in it, apply it, blot, and cover with a sheer, light pink lip gloss for a shimmering look.

Answer 4

You can do what I do...I use a chocolate lipstick as a thick liner for my lips. Then I take a color that is a shade or two lighter than the chocalate and put that on the rest of my lips...then I take a nice gloss and top it off. Victoria Secret has some nice lip glosses.

Answer 5

go to www.maybelline.com
select your country
the enter lipstick into the search box in the top right hand corner.
If this doesn't work you could call an avon representative or go to the mail and ask your local makeup counterperson to help you pick out a lipstick color that suits you!
Good Luck!

Answer 7

First, look at colors you like. Try out a little sample on the back of your hand, so you will see how it looks with your skin tone. You can go with the darker and bolder colors. True reds are always good, but don't be afraid to try others.

MAC go to the mac counter they have the best lip colors for black women. Personally i wear browns golds and plummy colors. But you could probably get away with pale or very bright pinks and sheers

Answer 11

MAC "touch"..it's the best. I've been buying that shade for 5 years now. It looks so natural. "spice" lip liner goes great with the lipstick.
