There are thousands of lipsticks out there that you can choose from. Among the numerous options, it is challenging to select lipsticks that suit your skin tone. However, if you are sure about your skin tone, then choosing lipsticks can get much easier.

So, let us take a look at how to choose lipsticks for warm and cool tones:

Understand your skin undertone
Before you pick a lipstick shade, you should have a good understanding of your skin tone as well as your undertone. It is determined by how intense its color is, usually described as tan, medium, dark, or light. It is equally important to understand your undertone color, even though it could be quite challenging. The main categories that fall under the undertone would be neutral, warm, and cool.

Here’s how they can be identified:

• Neutral
  Neutral undertones are a mix of both warm undertones as well as cool undertones. The best part about this is that women who have neutral undertones look equally good in gold and silver colors. They would most likely have a mix of green and blue veins in their wrists.

• Warm
  When it comes to warm undertones, they are orangish or yellowish. However, it is not necessary that these undertones may always appear in these two colors; they may also appear to be peachy, golden, honeyed, or olive in rare instances. Those who are unsure whether they have a warm undertone should check whether the color gold suits them better than the color silver. If this is the case, then they have a warm undertone. One effective way of checking whether they have warm undertones is by finding out whether they have slightly greener veins compared to blue veins in their wrists.

• Cool
  Those looking to identify cool undertones should look out for colors like pink, red, or blue, unlike the gold color that suits people who have warm undertones more than the color silver.

Choosing a lipstick based on your undertone

• Neutral
  Neutral undertones are considered to be the best undertones, as they work with a wide variety of shades. Women with a neutral undertone should go for pink, berry, or mauve shades.

• Warm
  For those who have warm undertones, they should go for orange, red, or terracotta. This is because these are the colors that suit people with warm undertones best.

• Cool
  The best options for people who have cool undertones are purple shades or blue shades. Shades like deep plum or cranberry also do justice to cool undertones.
