In make-up, the main attention is paid to the lips of women, but they do not always understand how to choose the right color of lipstick, its texture and density. What rules are recommended to be guided by professionals and are the statements about the universality of red true?
Basic rules for choosing
How to choose the color of lipstick correctly? The most important parameter, which the makeup artists are advised to orient, is the color-type. However, forget about the words "summer", "autumn", etc., because in the pure form this definition can only correspond to one girl out of 20. It is much more important to correctly determine your temperature, contrast and the depth of natural colors. There are several general rules that correct the basic:
- Age. A teenage girl should choose the most natural shades, tone her own lips or 1-2 shades darker. A mature woman is recommended a quiet range, deep colors.
- Skin condition. The brighter the makeup, the stronger it will emphasize all the inflammation and redness, so if you have them, it is better to choose light, discreet shades.
- State of the lips. Also an important parameter, because any dry, bitten, peeling any bright or matte lipstick will put in a bad light, so they need to either lead to an ideal condition, or cover with a light translucent shade.
- Facial features. The main part is played by the lower part of the face: a small narrow chin and the same small lips demand to abandon the dark tones. The volume should not be emphasized with pearlescent textures - leave them to the thin lips.
- Relevance. Make-up is self-expression, but it is restricted by etiquette and social norms. In the office with a strict dress code and in an educational institution only bodily, natural shades are permissible. For a walk with friends or for a celebration, you can "walk" a bright lipstick.
- Matching colors and textures: the darker the shade, the less gloss. Bright glossy lipstick is good for the evening, but undesirable in the morning - it's better to wear matte. Light( peach, flesh) look more attractive, at least with a satin finish.

As for the main rule of choosing the ideal color and texture, it is based on the study of your color. It includes 3 parameters, of which the hair color is considered to be central, as the most obvious color spot in the image. How to choose a color for lipstick for red or chestnut hair? What can burning brunettes and gentle blondes? To answer these questions, it is first necessary to "measure" the temperature.
Brunettes
Girls with a rich black hair can be easiest: they are often cold, because black suggests the absence of other pigments. In addition, it automatically adds to the appearance of a dark spot, so brunettes can pick up any shades of fuchsia, purple, wine, cherry, plum. Their perfect lipstick has a rich color and a blue base: if you rub the product on the hand, it will give a crimson pigment.
Blondes
The owners of light hair often have low contrast and general lightness of other areas: eyebrows, eyelashes, skin, eyes. Lipstick for blondes, if it is chosen for daily use, should also not be bright: peaches, marshmallow-pink, corporal tones are recommended. By the evening exit, on the contrary, it is worth picking a pure color: red will ideally play in contrast with blond hair.
Red
The rarest color, if you take into account only the natural, and causing the most questions when creating makeup. How to choose the perfect color for lipstick for red hair? To build on the saturation of their hue, but always take a warm one: red, orange, terracotta, caramel. From cold pink tones it is necessary to refuse completely - they will make appearance painful.

The choice of the color of lipstick will depend on the palate of the light-haired: with gold and reddish - any warm elements of the palette, with ashes - any cold. For the evening out, you can take a light berry( as if diluted with milk), raspberry, burgundy. It's better if it's translucent, not dense lipstick. Peach and strawberry shades are suitable for everyday use.
How to Choose a Lipstick
Hair color is one of the main, but not the only factor in choosing lipstick, especially since it only causes its possible shade, but it does not say anything about the texture. To draw a complete picture, you need to take into account a few more details: skin tone, eye color and features of the lower face. How not to get confused and make the right choice?
On the skin tone of
First, the temperature plays an important role here. Look at the wrist: leaving in purple / lilac veins - a sign of cold skin tone, leaving in green - warm. Secondly, the lighter the skin, the lighter the shade of lipstick, and vice versa. There is an exception: on pale, perfectly clean skin, the rich bright colors look amazing: red, orange.
How to choose the natural color of lipstick? This effect is achieved by the product of a shade of not the lightest foundation, but a native pigment. All the dairy and corporal colors well lie and do not look "putty" only with the Celtic / Nordic type of skin. Owners of tanning, even the most minimal, need more vivid tones, for example, beige-pink.
According to the color of the eyes
It is important only for determining the temperature as the last decisive factor when it is impossible to establish it by hair and skin. Green and amber-brown are warm, blue, blue, gray and dark-brown - cold. In this case, green and blue on the contrast will enhance the lipstick of fuchsia, the depth of brown eyes will shade maroon, plum. Red is universal and works well with everything, so red lipstick for brunettes with brown eyes or for blondes with blue is always a win-win solution.
On the shape of the lips
To choose the right lipstick is to take into account the structure of the face. Visual enhancement and softening of thin, small lips with sharp lines are facilitated by glossy textures and light hues, gradients from the periphery to the center. It is possible to emphasize the beautiful form in any bright color. Plump lips will not be very noticeable if they are put on a matte texture or dark color.
Choosing a lipstick shade

The shades of red lipstick are chosen simply: crimson-red - for cold appearance, coral-red - for warm. The darker the color of hair and skin, the stronger the red can go into burgundy or plum. The only thing you can not forget is that this is the most demanding color and any blemish in appearance, it will immediately strengthen several times.
- Beige is also included in the number of natural shades, neutral, versatile, if matched exactly to the color of your lips.
