That perfect lipstick for you should always enhance your complexion and not make your face look washed out or dull. In this blog, let’s discuss the factors that you can take care of while selecting your perfect lipstick shade.

-
Medium skin tone: This skin tone lies in the middle of the spectrum, they have a fair amount of melanin and can get tan easily but rarely burn.

Dark skin tone: This skin tone lies at the end of the spectrum and the complexion appears very rich and dark. Dark skin rarely burns but tans very easily in prolonged sun exposure.
2. Understand Your Undertone
A skin undertone is the color that lies beneath your skin and gives your skin a unique color and depth. Moreover, this does not change with sun exposure or with the use of any other product. There are 3 types of skin undertones, warm, cool & neutral which can easily be identified by performing simple tests. To find your correct undertone, read this simple guide.
3. Choose Your Finish
