- No matter your skin tone, you cannot get wrong with tints of dark pink, red and burgundy. However, dark lipsticks look particularly nice on pale and light complexions. Girls and women having tanned or dark skin can go safe with shades of deep palms, berries and warm reds.
- If you are blessed with an olive skin tone, then anything, ranging from nudes, oranges, pinks and reds will look great on you. Use a coordinating lip liner to finish the look. There are some more things that you should note:
1. If you are not confident enough to carry a glossy, luscious look, then try the matte shades, but make sure that you moisturize your lips underneath. No one would fancy seeing vibrant shades of lipstick on dry, chapped lips.
2. If you do not want to make any experiment with shades of red, then try warm tones like berry or mauve. You can mix and match between various shades.
3. If you do not like lipsticks, then try using lip balms. Find warm shades like red currant, berries and honey.
