Do you want to dress your lips? It could be a struggle to select the perfect lipstick that will match your style. Choosing the wrong lipstick is sort of a right of passage for every little girl passes to reach womanhood. Choosing the best lipstick is a science and not a style. It requires a sense of balancing what you want and need.

Choose a lipstick shade that is similar to your skin tone. If you have light skin, choose a peach lipstick, if you have dark skin; choose a dark color such as raisin. Moreover, choose a lipstick ‘finish’ that will complement the size of your lips. Normally, finishes range from matte to shiny. Matte appears dry and flat and looks best on large lips because of its minimizing effect. Shiny finishes are great for thin lips since it provides a plumping effect.

Make sure to choose a lipstick texture that you feel comfortable with. You have many choices of lipstick texture nowadays. You should also choose a lipstick that fits your lifestyle. If you are a working woman, opt for a lipstick that is long lasting. If your work is outdoors you need sun protection to choose a lipstick with sunscreen. Finally, make your lipstick choice based on what looks great on you. The bottom line is you will not be happy with your choice if it does not look good on you.
