How to Choose the Right Lipstick Shade for Your Skin Undertone

Ever bought a lipstick that looked stunning in-store, but off on your lips?
A shade that seemed perfect under the store lights may end up looking completely different once you get it home. The reason? It all comes down to understanding your skin’s undertone.

Once you know if you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, finding the right lipstick becomes much easier. You’ll be able to choose shades that not only flatter your complexion but also give you that perfect, effortless look. And with Thin Lizzy’s Velvet Lip Creme, you get rich, lasting colour that’s designed to complement any skin tone.

1. What Are Skin Undertones?

Before selecting your lipstick, it’s important to know your skin’s undertone. Unlike skin tone, which can range from fair to deep, undertones are the subtle hues beneath the surface of your skin that affect how colors appear. There are three main undertones:

Warm Undertones: If your skin has a yellow, peach, or golden hue, you have warm undertones. These tones pair well with earthy, vibrant colors.
Cool Undertones: If your skin appears pink, blue, or red, you have cool undertones. Lipsticks with blue or purple bases complement this undertone.
Neutral Undertones: A mix of both warm and cool hues, neutral undertones can wear a wide variety of shades.

Understanding your undertone is crucial in selecting lipstick shades that naturally enhance your complexion.

2. Best Lipstick Shades for Each Undertone

Now that you understand the basics of undertones, here’s a guide to choosing the best lipstick shades for each type of skin undertone.
