What color of lipstick would best suit me???

Question

I have olive/tan skin. Although I am on the lighter side of tan, it is always so hard to find a color that works for me, with the olive undertone that I have. Any advice....I would love to wear something other than lipgloss all the time!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

I suggest a nice plum, or deep reddy brown. I more so prefer the deep reddy brown as it'll play up the warmer sultry tones of your skin. A clear gloss over and it should look fabulous!

Answer 2

I can give you a few suggestions...if you're looking for an everyday color, I would suggest a light to medium nude brown. For a more professional or evening look, I would go with a medium/dark mauve or rose color. A few lipsticks that I think would look fantastic are:
everyday look- Bare Escentuals lipstick in "Cat's Meow"-it's a nude, bronzy color. Some other nice neutral colors are Sheer Joy and Yumi (also BE lipstick colors)
professional/evening-Bare Escentuals lipstick in "Belle"-it's a mauve-rosey color.
You can order these colors on the QVC website qvc.com
good luck, hope this helps you!

Answer 3

I have a pretty similar coloring, and I cannot find ANY color that looks right one me. I usually just put on clear or nearly clear gloss, because it's just what looks best on me, but I guess you can a lip color instead of a gloss.
Maybe you can try bright colors in a sheer formula, like a really sheer berry-red or a bronze. I like to mix some nude lipstick with the "warmth" powder from bare escentuals.
Or maybe you'll like Blistex's lip tone lip balm (I think that's what it's called), it;s really creamy and in a lip balm packaging, but it offers a natural but noticeable mauve-nude color. One bad thing about it is that it comes off just as easily as lip gloss.

Answer 4

Olive skin looks good with brownish reds, light browns and raisin Rich dark pinks and dark berry shades also compliment olive skin.

Hope it helped = )
