Find Your Perfect Shade
Bold lip colors are a great way to make a statement and enhance your overall look. But finding the right shade that complements your skin tone can be a bit of a challenge. With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. In this blog, we’ll discuss some bold lip colors that work for every skin tone, so you can confidently rock a bold lip all year round.
Fair Skin Tones
If you have fair skin, you should look for lip colors with cool undertones, such as pink and blue. Shades of bright pink and berry can be particularly flattering. You can also try a classic red lip with blue undertones, as this will make your teeth appear whiter. Some great options include MAC’s Ruby Woo or Nars’ Dragon Girl. Another great option is a dark plum or burgundy shade, which will contrast nicely with your fair skin. Try 100% Pure’s Fruit Pigmented® Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick for a bold and edgy look.
Medium Skin Tones
For those with medium skin tones, you have a wider range of options when it comes to bold lip colors. Shades of orange, coral, and warm reds look particularly stunning. If you’re looking for something bright and bold, try a bright coral shade like Fenty Beauty’s Mattemoiselle in Freckle Fiesta. If you prefer a classic red, look for one with warm undertones, such as Mac’s Russian Red or Bobbi Brown’s Red Carpet. Another great option for medium skin tones is a deep berry shade. Try Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Damned for a sultry, yet sophisticated look.
Olive Skin Tones
If you have olive skin, you should look for lip colors with warm undertones, such as terracotta, burnt orange, and copper. Shades of bright orange and coral can be particularly flattering. Try Fenty Beauty’s Mattemoiselle in Tiger Tini or Charlotte Tilbury’s Hot Lips in Carina’s Star for a bold and vibrant look. For a more subdued look, try a deep brick red, such as MAC’s Powder Kiss Lipstick or Nars’ Bette. These shades will look stunning against your warm complexion.
Deep Skin Tones
For those with deep skin tones, bold lip colors can look particularly striking. Look for shades with rich pigments, such as deep purples, browns, and burgundies. Try NYX’s Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen or Fenty Beauty’s Mattemoiselle in Griselda for a bold, vampy look. You can also try a bold red with blue undertones, such as Nars’ Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella, which will make your teeth appear whiter. Another great option is a deep berry shade, such as MAC’s Rebel or Bite Beauty’s Liquified Lipstick in Infuse. These shades will look stunning against your deep complexion.
General Tips for Choosing a Bold Lip Color
No matter what your skin tone is, there are some general tips to keep in mind when choosing a bold lip color. First, consider the occasion. A bright, bold lip may be perfect for a night out or a special event, but might be too much for everyday wear. Second, consider the rest of your makeup. If you’re going for a bold lip, you may want to keep the rest of your makeup more neutral and subdued, to avoid looking overdone. Third, consider your personal style. If you’re not used to wearing bold lip colors, start with a shade that’s slightly outside your comfort zone and work your way up to something more daring.
In conclusion, bold lip colors can be a great way to add some fun and excitement to your makeup routine. With the right shade, you can enhance your natural beauty and make a statement. No matter what your skin tone is, there are plenty of options to choose from. Just remember to have fun and experiment until you find the shade that makes you feel confident and beautiful.
