A lipstick could be glamorous, seductive or subtle and adds to the final touch to a day or evening makeup. If a woman is given only one option of a make up item, she probably would choose a lipstick as the one she could not live without. When it comes to choosing a lipstick color, there are several things that a woman has to consider.

When it comes to lipstick color, the lifestyle plays an important role in the choice. Consider where you will be wearing the lipstick for, such as for work, a night on the town or for an evening out. Another thing that you should consider is the skin tone. You should consider this when choosing a lipstick color. Dark women could better carry off bright, dark or dramatic hues that would otherwise look garish on fair-skinned women.

Another thing to consider is the size of the lips. If your lips are less full than the average, consider lighter shades instead of darker hues since dark colors will make lips look smaller. Light colors, particularly the glossy ones could make lips look fuller. You should also consider the time of day. For daywear, keep colors lighter and choose dark colors at night.
