lip colour?

Question

i have black hair, fair skin and brown eyes and i'm finding trouble settling with the right lip colour.

most colours make me look drained and obvious. dark shades make my lips look thin and don't complement my skin tone, and pale ones don't seem to have a nice impact.
any ideas?

thanks :)

Answer 1

mix dark n light pink lipstick 2gether n use lipgloss on to it.

Have you worked with a beauty consultant yet. I have found the best way to find what you would like is someone who is willing to offer you the opportunity to try something on before you buy it. Take for example Mary Kay cosmetics. Go to www.marykay.com/rebecca. You can take a virtual make-over, and send the consultant a request for the sample of lip color. Try it on. If you like it great. If not, try another one. I also know it is not just the colors you wear, it is your skin. Do you take care of your skin? There is info on the website about skin care also. I know the hardest thing for me was to find a lipstick I liked and for most people it is. After buying a few tubes, and having little or no success when spending the money, it can get frustrating.Try the virtual make-over, and see what suggestions are there. I have the fair skin, but brown hair. Good luck

i like the natural tones the best. Look for a color that matches your lips or a gloss. I find that some lip liner will add depth to thin lips use it more in the middle to plump up the lips. darker colors are best in the middle and pale shades for the outer part of the lips.

You need to determine whether your skin tone is warm or cool.Here's how to determine your skin tone:

Warm skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear green.
2. Gold jewelry is more flattering than silver jewelry.

Cool skin tone:
1. Look at inner wrist - veins will appear blue.
2. Silver jewelry is more flattering.

Sheer lip colors are the easiest to choose & wear.

A few colors I recommend trying:

1) Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey (either skin tone) or Almost Red (cool)

2) Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Cherries in the Glow (warm - easy to wear soft red)

3) BeneFit lipstick in Birthday Suit (warm)

Answer 6

well i also have pale skin, black hair, and brown eyes...so i take
i love my lips lip gloss in cherry

gold cream eyeshadow

coke lid

q-tips

take about half the cherry lip gloss and put in coke bottle lid then add just a little gold shadow (its according to how light or dark you want it!) in the coke bottle lid and mix with the cherry gloss... then apply to lips

gives a beautiful glow with enough color to make your lips look plump ( i have very thins lips and this makes them look lushish)


makes a funky but cool eye shadow too!

Answer 7

Try a deep rose or coral...depending on if you prefer cool or warm shades. They are not so dark as to be startling against a fair complexion and not so light as they just fade against your darker coloring.

Answer 8

If you are trying for fashion at the moment, then try and deep red lipstick. It will compliment your skin tone, just as long as you get a good quality one.
