First off, let's ignore the mountains growing on my chin, nobody's perfect!
I've gone through my lipstick collection and found the lipsticks that are either my all time favourites, or simply my favourites at the moment! I tried to pick one that would cover as many lipstick colours and tones as I could, however obviously I am limited to the colours that I have which I find suit my skin tone best!
Bold Pink: Rimmel Apocalips in Apocoliptic
Pin up Red: Rimmel Apocalips in Big Bang
Dusty Everyday Pink: Rimmel Lasting Finish in Have Fun!
Berry: Elf Mineral Moisturising Lip Balm in Berry
Everyday Pink: Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial
Lilac/Pink: L'oreal Caresse Lipstick in Rock N' Mauve
Dark Plum: Accessorize Lipstick in Passionate
Now..How to find the right colour for YOU
Personally, I think fair skins suit, pinky/red tones. Warmer toned lipsticks will warm up your skin tone and won't wash you out! On me, for my pale skin I hate nudes, they really don't do anything for me! I also love dark reds, red/blushy pinks, bright pinks and berry/plummy tones.
Medium skin..I'd go for medium pinks, corals, reds, and orangey pinks, bright pinks and nudes. For medium skins I think its the best of both words as both cold and warmed tones lipsticks look great
Olive skin..I'd go for colder toned lipsticks (blue toned) dark rose tones, blue based reds, mauve toned colours, and nude based reds
Dark skin..Brownish reds, dark fushias and golden undertones, maybe even nudes if you want to switch it up a bit!
But all said and done, wear whatever makes you happy and what you feel comfortable in! Let me know what you think!
