Q: Can I wear bold lipstick colours for everyday occasions?

Absolutely! Bold lipstick can be worn daily if you feel comfortable. To make it more suitable for everyday wear, consider pairing it with a minimal makeup look or opting for a sheer version of a bold shade for a subtler effect.

How do I find the right lipstick shade for my skin tone?

To find the right lipstick shade, consider your undertone—cool, warm, or neutral. Test shades that complement your undertone; for example, cool-toned individuals may find pinks and berry shades flattering, whereas warm-toned individuals might prefer corals and oranges.

What’s the best way to swatch lipstick in-store?

When swatching lipstick in-store, apply a small amount directly on your lips or use a clean finger or lip brush to test the product. Ensure good lighting and consider trying the lipstick on different areas of your lips to see how the colour looks in various lighting.

Are there specific lipstick finishes that suit certain skin tones better?

Yes, certain finishes can enhance your overall look. For example, matte lipsticks often work well with warmer skin tones, while glossy finishes can brighten up cooler skin tones. Satin finishes are versatile and can complement a range of skin tones.

How do seasonal trends affect lipstick choices?

Seasonal trends can influence your lipstick choices by introducing new shades and finishes that align with the time of year. For instance, warmer shades like deep reds are popular in autumn, while bright pinks and corals are often favoured in spring and summer.
