1. Keep it Simple
Period. Go easy on the eye makeup and blush, especially in the daytime.
2. Match your Skin’s Undertones
Cooler skin should look for bluer undertones, warmer skins should lean towards hints of red or orange.
3. SPF is your Friend
Let’s have some lip fun AND protect our smile assets.
4. Test it out Before you Buy It
Sephora and other department stores are great for this and many will give you a sample to take with you. Grab it and be sure to go outside and look at it in natural light.
5. Be Bold!
Just like its sister, the red lip, hot pink lips require confidence. Own it.
6. Find a Comfortable Shade
If you feel ridiculous, you have the wrong color. Here are a few shades from light to bright and sheer to rich – find one that makes you feel incredible. Don’t adopt a trend just for the sake of trend – it’s just lipstick! Have some fun and try something new.
