What Lipgloss is Best for your Skin Tone?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at American chapter.

 

Finding a lip gloss or lipstick that fits your skin tone can be a difficult task. The best way to handle this is to follow some simple guidelines! Whether your day includes a casual day around town, or some fun later that night, with these tips, you can be prepared for any occasion!

 

1. FAIR SKIN TONES

Day: When you have fair skin, or you are just simply pale, it is probably best to go with a clear gloss during the day. You already have pink lips: just make them shiny!

Night: A light pink, coral, or peach lipstick will give you the pop you need for a night out.

 

2. MEDIUM SKIN TONES

Day: You’re the lucky ones! You can wear anything you want, and it will probably work. However, your best option for a gloss is clear, light pink, coral, or peach.

Night: For a good lipstick for medium skin tones, use something drastic, such as brown, pink, and even red (red is best with darker hair colors)!

 

3. TAN SKIN TONES

Day: During the day, most shades of brown will look beautiful! You can also do clear glosses as well, and pull them off great!

Night: Purple based lipsticks and glosses are best for you to have an edgy look for going out at night.

 

4. DARK SKIN TONES

Day: Just like tan skin tones, you can pull a brown lip, but the lighter, the better!

Night: Drastic choices are where you want to go with this one! Generally, red is a great choice. Orange or coral based will also look beautiful on this skin tone.
