Pucker up!!!

There's this lipstick trend going on in my school and the rest of the world. But like every trend in the world, its not for everybody! I mean it looks great on some people especially light skinned ones.

But some people ehn!! Really dark people using neon pink lipstick in the afternoon. Seriously?!!
Not this lady below though, this is an advert from i-D magazine but it sure explains my point.

Choosing proper lipstick according to skin colour.
Shirley from meek-n-mild.com.
If you have fair skin deep, plum reds, berry, wine reds, browns -light medium browns or beige's with pink undertones. Stay away from those bright, loud pink lipsticks.
Angela Simmons


Medium skin should use rich, deep pinks, deep reds, rich caramel shades, medium brown with yellow or pink undertones, and creamy coffee colored brown lipsticks. Stay away from browns that are very pale. They can make medium skins look ashy and washed out. 


Dark skin should try reds with blue undertones. Also, mahogany, deep plums, wine reds, almost any shade of brown, rich, dark, coffee browns flatter the skin. Avoid orange undertones in lipsticks


I on the other hand will just stick to clear lip gloss :D





If you want to wear a trend, make sure it suits you and doesn't make you look ridiculous. Find ways to adapt it to you. If you can't then hunnie, leave it alone. In summary, do you.
