Lipstick can make or break your look. In this post I’m going to be talking about which lipstick shade is best for your skin tone.

Before going after the brightest color your eyes spots first, keep your undertone in mind. This will be extremely helpful when choosing the best shade for your skin tone.

Some people have pink undertones while others have more of a yellow. If the veins on your wrist are more blue, you’re leaning more toward a pink undertone. On the other hand, if your veins are more green, you’ll be drifting toward the yellow undertone spectrum.

Tip #1: Yellow undertones should stick to warmer colors while pink undertones should gravitate toward shades that have purple or blue tones in them.

Tip #2: Olive skin tones go best with nudes. This can be light pink, orange, etc. This skin tone also goes great with shades of red.

Tip #3: If you have fair skin, you should try to avoid anything too light as it can make you look ill. With fair skin, you can’t go wrong with bold reds or deep colors. A night out on the town with a bold red on your lip makes one hell of a statement.

Tip #4: Darker skin tones go great with deep purples or reds. These deeper shades are flattering and compliment this type of skin tone.

These are some tips I’ve learned over the years. Notice I didn’t call them rules because at the end of the day, there are none to go by. If you really love a color, but it clashes with your skin tone, go for it! The thing I’ve always loved about makeup is that you can experiment all the time! At the end of the day, you should always wear what makes YOU feel best!

I’ve always had a passion for makeup and find the art aspect of it to be extremely intriguing. The hardest part about makeup? How expensive it can be! I know from experience how hard it is not to splurge at Sephora! People often sought after popular name brands that makeup gurus typically use, but I’ve found that drugstore products do the same, and sometimes even do a better job. Lucky for those on a tight budget, I’ve found ways to master the expert makeup look that doesn’t involve spending tons of money!

I will be sharing reviews on drugstore products I’ve tested out over the years as well as tips and tricks on how to make your products last longer. The products I recommend will give you that glowing and flawless look without going over your budget! It’s a win-win! The reviews will include comparison between formulas as well as the outcomes of combinations of certain products. People always ask what brands I use and are surprised when I name drugstore products. My secret is, it’s more about the technique than the product itself. You’ll be surprised how much of a variety these stores carry! With an array of colors and formulas, you’ll be able to find products that perfectly fit your day-to-day look! Whether you’re going for the fresh-faced, fierce, or glamorous look, these products won’t disappoint!

My target audience will mainly focus on college students. Being a college student myself, I know how hard it is to juggle financial necessities, let alone extras, such as beauty products. My tips and tricks will not only help you find the perfect products for your skin type, but you will also have the tools to use these products to their full potential.

There are so many amazing products out there, and instead of going out searching, I will be saving you time and money by providing some insights.
