There are many color schemes, formats and textures of lipsticks on the market. Some look good on blondes, others on brunettes. In this article, we will focus on lipsticks that are suitable specifically for brunettes, we will analyze how to choose the right product for the color of eyes and skin, and how to avoid mistakes when choosing this makeup.
Lipstick selection for eye color
One of the factors that influence lipstick choices is the eyes. The color of the iris directly affects the shade of the product, its intensity, brightness and temperature.
Brown-eyed
Girls with brown eyes should refresh their image if they do not want to achieve a monochrome look.
It is worth giving preference to dark red shades resembling ripe cherries or aged wine.
Bright gamut, including pink or purple colors, must be with a warm undertone. Otherwise, the cold color of the lipstick will give a pale and unhealthy complexion.
For ladies with black hair, pigmented pink shades are suitable. They look appropriate during the day and emphasize the natural beauty.
Saturated wine and ruby colors should be reserved for the evening style or for the winter period, creating the image of Snow White.
For owners of brown hair, cherry, coral tones of lipsticks are suitable, it is they who perfectly emphasize youth and skin texture. Red shades give the image brightness and energy. For a cold color type, raspberry, dark pink colors are suitable.
Avoid too light neutral colors, this range is able to whiten your appearance, add fading and inexpressiveness. If you really want to go here, get a shade with brown and gold notes in a warm or cold spectrum.
Blue-eyed
The whole bright and rich palette of colors looks appropriate on girls with blue eyes, without causing dissonance in the image. They themselves have a bright and memorable appearance.
Fuchsia, scarlet red, ripe raspberry, coral shades on a warm base - an excellent choice for owners of blue "soul mirrors".
But the orange, carrot and cold colors of lipstick will give the face a bluish appearance, it is worth abandoning them.
Green-eyed
Girls with this eye color most often belong to the autumn color type with a warm skin tone and brown hair.
With green eyes, almost all shades of lipstick will work well, but preference should be given to pure colors.
Red, red-brown, beige-brown, lilac, peach, muted pink gamma is a good solution for green-eyed fashionistas.
Gray-eyed
For such girls there is a universal color - scarlet. The whole palette of red colors looks perfect on owners of gray eyes, and the shades of medium saturation of any spectrum look more natural on any type of skin.
But too cold colors should be avoided.
Among these tones will be lilac, lilac-blue, pearl colors.
To match skin tone
Another factor in choosing a shade of lipstick is skin tone.
The invariable rule says that cold colors must be combined with cold, warm - with warm.
If the skin is light, pure colors in pink and red with a shimmer, gloss or matte texture will do. Any light shades look natural, slightly shading the skin color.
On dark skin, warm shades emphasize the tan and hair color. A girl with fair eyes and dark skin should choose dark matte colors, to emphasize the contrast of appearance.
Owners of olive skin will appreciate the colors in warm colors with a satin finish, which will create an emphasis on the color of the eyes and skin. Terracotta, brown, golden beige, caramel neutral colors do not blur the appearance, look harmonious, appropriate in the style of clothing and in evening looks.
Girls with a neutral skin type can safely choose any color scheme.
Their appearance can also “pull” controversial colors:
- turquoise;
- green;
- brick red;
- pale beige;
- natural beige.
How to choose the image?
A matte finish can create a defiant look. To avoid this lipstick, it is preferable to take with a satin effect or dilute the matte finish with a small amount of lip gloss.
It must be remembered that the matte texture emphasizes the size and shape of the lips. If by nature they are thin, such a lipstick will visually make them even smaller, so this product should be left only to owners of plump lips.
Matte lipsticks are more resistant to wear than glossy finishes due to its dry formula. Before applying such a lipstick, you should take care of moisturizing the surface of the skin of the lips.
A glossy finish in any shade can be formed by a shimmer or small sparkles. The classic transparent gloss is able to visually adjust the shape of the lips, make them puffy due to the reflected light.
Shiny mother-of-pearl lips require a properly chosen stylistic image.
Pearly particles in the wrong lipstick color can adversely affect the girl’s appearance and her skin color.
Lipstick balms contain few coloring pigments.There is a color palette from light, almost invisible shades to almost black. But, despite such an intense color in the tube, the product will lie on the lips with a translucent layer. Like sparkles, it is suitable for all lip shapes, further moisturizing them.
Satin finish gives a delicate sheen. Outwardly, it looks like a matte, but has a softer and wetter formula. Natural shades are suitable for office and daytime walks. The nude shade of lipsticks is combined with light dresses, skirts, trouser suits and any other clothes of simple and complex design.
Vivid colors are the prerogative of evening gala looks; bright makeup colors are also suitable for visiting the theater. In the office style, if the employer admits, the use of bright red lipstick is perfectly acceptable.
If during the day you want dark shades or rich accents, there is a universal way to achieve this. It all depends on the technique of applying the product. When using a brush or squeezing from a tube, the lipstick gives a strong pigmented layer of paint.
To make the color more transparent and calm, it is necessary to imprint a small amount of lipstick on the lips skin with your fingers or a paper towel, creating the effect of a light make-up.
However, this option of wearing lipstick is not persistent due to the presence of a small amount of pigment on the lips.
When making up with arrows or bright details, it’s worth choosing neutral lipstick colors. The emphasis should be on only one part of the face. When using juicy wine or dark lipsticks, the eyes remain clean, without makeup.
The appearance of brunettes can maintain a simultaneous emphasis on lips and eyes, but provided that the girl’s appearance itself is contrasting, as a rule, this is a winter color type. Otherwise, a feeling of overworked and vulgar image will be created.
To create a complete image in makeup, blush should be selected according to the color of lipstick or use the old method - direct application of pigment from a tube of lipstick on the cheeks. The product should be rubbed with your hands, and if there is too much color, powder or it is easy to walk with a foundation cream. This method is not suitable for owners of oily skin. Oils in lipstick can affect acne and clog pores.
In stores, there are many samplers from any brand. When choosing a lipstick, it is not necessary to apply it on the lips, it is enough to unscrew the tube and simply attach it to the lips. So it will be easier to understand whether the color is suitable or not. With liquid lipsticks in transparent packaging, this method also works. In addition, you can apply a little tool on the upper part of the hand.
