Lipstick Color Shows Your Character

Want to know how 4 popular lipstick colors saying about yourself?
1. Pink for a girly-girl or a princess. Like Taylor Swift. Girls that wear this lipstick color plus a glosslip will appear as cute as she is.
Tips: This colour emphasizes facial features. If you have thin lips or sharp nose avoid such colours. It also emphasizes all red skin tones. Pink lipstick suits blonde women.
2. Orange: a special color for naughty girls. Inspired from color of fruits such as tangerine, coral, papaya, cantaloupe. Nothing goes better with sun-kissed glowy skin than sherbet-y orange lips. Case in point: Hilary Duff’s recent red carpet look.

Tips: Orange looks great on warm skin tones, but if the skin is very pale and fair, orange will emphasize this feature. Too much of orange can make skin look gray and aging. Depending on their colour shade, redheads can use this colour. If the red color is very bright, try not to use a bright orange shade for your lips as it will contrast with the hair.
3. Red: Hot and attractive
Medium to dark skinned women can get away with deeper reds that have brown or tawny bases. Jessica Albe looks so beautiful with warm red.
Tips: This colour has similar characteristics as the pink lipstick, but this is a much warmer color and it has a more effect, adding shine. Using red lipstick needs confidence and it matches all hair colours. If you are a blonde, use dark red lipstick and use light shades of red if you are brunette.
4. Brown and gold shades of lipstick:
Tips: It gives a dramatic look. You have to be aware that dark lipstick colors thickens the lips and can add some more years to your age, making you look older than usual. Also, a brown or gold lipstick matches any hair color.
