which lip shade to buy?


Great lips glorify the face- so all the effort to get that wonderful pout is always worth it.

It can be quite tricky however, to get the shade hat flatters your lips. Given the astronomical prices of good cosmetics, trial and error method is just not affordable- atleast not all the time.

Try the quick tips:

1. Go for a shade or two darker than your actual lip color. This helps to emhasize your pout.

2. If you are fair skinned, nude shades would be great for you. Don't use too dark shades

3. If you have a medium complexion, you can go for darker shades like rose, berries, burgundy etc

4. Chocolate/ dark coffee is ideal for dark skins.

5. 'Mix and Match' techniques go well with lipsticks also. So if you have already purchased all the wrongshades, dont dismay, blend them wih proper lip liners(use dull lip liner for bright lipsticks and the like), try blending different colours to suit the costume and the occasion, it might work, plus you can give yourself a pat for your creativity and thrift.
