Choosing a lipstick is not only about trends: it depends on your skin tone and whether its undertone is warm or cool.
Find your undertone
Look at the veins on your wrist. Green-leaning means a warm undertone; blue-leaning means cool. Neutral undertones show a mix of both.
Warm undertones
- Coral and peach
- Rosy brown and terracotta
- Slightly orange-leaning reds
Cool undertones
- Soft pink and fuchsia
- Cherry red
- Deep plum
For daytime
Pick a shade within two tones of your natural lip colour — it is the most versatile choice for work or class.
Test the shade on your fingertip rather than the back of your hand: the colour there is closer to your lips.
