Dear Clara,

Thank you for your question! Finding the perfect lipstick shade to match your skin tone can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s how you can make the process simple and fun:

Determine Your Undertone: Start by identifying whether your skin has warm, cool, or neutral undertones.
Cool undertones have a pink or blueish hue, and veins on your wrist often appear blue.
Warm undertones have a yellow or golden hue, with greenish veins.
Neutral undertones are a mix of both, with veins that might look blue-green.

Match Shades to Undertones:
If you have cool undertones, opt for shades like berry, plum, or blue-based reds.
For warm undertones, reach for coral, orange-based reds, or rich browns.
Neutral undertones can pull off a wide range of shades, from dusty pinks to mauves and classic true reds.

Experiment with Finishes: The finish of a lipstick—matte, gloss, or satin—can also affect how it complements your skin tone. Try different textures to see which one enhances your natural beauty the most.

Test Before You Commit: Swatch lipsticks on the back of your hand or, better yet, test them on your lips to see how they interact with your complexion.
Trust Your Instincts: While these tips are helpful, the most important thing is how a shade makes you feel. If you love a color, wear it with confidence!

Remember, makeup is all about self-expression, so have fun experimenting with shades and finishes until you find your favorites.

Wishing you bold, beautiful lips!

All the best,

Katie
