While practically all feasible colours that look great on skin have been translated into lipsticks, but there is one hue that holds forth season after season. We are talking about pink- that quintessential feminine shade, which works for women of all ages.
Stylist Jojo says, “A slick of sheer pink lipstick is the best way to open up your complexion. Also it is a good idea to stash a pink lipstick in your purse, it can be used as a blush and an eye shadow, when you have no other makeup handy.
” M.A.C’s Senior Makeup Artist Vimi Joshi loves a pop of bubblegum pink on the lips. “It’s a fun, young hue that adds character to your face,” she says.
It’s official – pink lipstick are one of the hottest selling colours across beauty counters here. According to Makeup training manager, Lancome Stafford Braganza, various hues of pinks are the hottest selling lipsticks at the Lancome stores.
“Women like to pick up creamy or pearly pink lipsticks because it allows them to define their mouth and add some colour their look without appearing too bold.
Also pink goes well with most skin tones,” he says.
So how do you choose your pink? First of all, most Indian girls look good in pink that has red undertones. The darker your skin tone, the more pigment you can wear. If you have a light skin tone, look for pearly, sheer pink.
For girls with darker skin tone, a creamy mid-tone pink look best. You can even pick earthy pinks in matte texture. Sheer pinks can get lost in your lips. For those with medium tone, try fuchsia with a red undertone or an earthy pink hue. A beige pink is the best nude hue to keep for all.
When wearing your pink lipstick, make sure to moisten your lips with good lip balm. Exfoliate your lips gently if you have chapped lips. Then apply the colour directly from the tube. Avoid using a liner. In fact pearly pink lipsticks are great ones to hide badly chapped lips.
