Maggie's Beauty Tip:
July 2009
Dear Maggie,
I’m not sure what colour lipstick suits me e.g. pinks or oranges.
Can you give me any tip to make sure?
Angela, Tala
Dear Angela,
It's not hard to choose lipstick colours once you know one simple fact. All you need to know is whether your skin tones are "warm" or "cool". It's not about how dark or light you are, or even about your hair or eye colour, but what the undertone of your skin is - is it bluish (cool) or yellowish (warm)? Everyone is either warm or cool and it's all about your facial colouring: blondes, brunettes and redheads can be either one.
So, as you are not sure, dig through your makeup bag and find just two shades of any kind of makeup - lip colour, eye shadow or blush. Find one colour that is orange or rust and another that is pink or lavender. Rub one on the apple of your cheek and the other on the apple of the other cheek and then compare. Does one look more "right" than the other? Does one look garish or just wrong? The colour that works will show you your skin tone. If the orange colour looks right, you have warm tones; if the pink colour looks right, you are cool.
