Have you been wasting a lot of money buying lipsticks that you thought look good on you and they did not? Well, we did all the homework for you so just sit back and watch the video below.  From now on, you will not ever buy the wrong lipstick colors again. The secret is “To Know Your Skin’s Undertone!” Simply follow these useful lip tips here to discover the ultimate lip shades for your sexy pout.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN’S UNDERTONE

From here on out, you can always rely over and over again on your skin’s undertone to tell you which colors will be flattering on you. Here are a few simple methods to determine your skin’s undertone step by step.  Skin undertones can be divided into COOL, WARM, and NEUTRAL. Choose a method that is easy for you to test immediately.

1. The Vein Checking Method:  Check the veins in your inner wrists in natural light. If your veins are mostly blue, you have a cool tone and if they are mostly green, you have a warm tone. If you have a 50/50 mix, you are neutral.

2. The Jewelry Test Method:   If you look good in gold, you have a warm tone and if you look good in silver,  you have a cool tone. “Look Good” means the colors will not make you look sick and washed out.

3. Bright White Shirt Test Method: Remove all the make up on your face to show your natural skin tone. If the white shirt makes you look more yellow, you have a warm tone and if the white shirt makes you look more blueish you have a cool tone.

4. The Collinge’s Peach Test Method: Hold a peach colored fabric under your face. If the peach fabric gives you  a healthy glow, you have a warm tone but if it drains the color from your face and make you look sick, you have a cool tone.

5. The Tan Test Method: Do you get a tan easily? If you tan easily, you have a warm tone. If you burn easily, you have a cool tone.

If after taking your test you still cannot find your skin’s undertone, you are lucky because you are NEUTRAL. This means you look great in all lipstick colors with their undertones.

Tips:

1. A major lesson here is- it is not the colors that you buy- you can wear all colors. However, it is the undertones of the lipsticks that you must take into consideration when you buy your lipsticks. Make sure they match your own skin’s undertone. All lipsticks have their own undertones that can been seen on your own skin undertone when you wear it. Thus, when it comes to buying your lipsticks, buy lipsticks that have the same undertone as you have. Ask your cosmetics sales person for lipsticks that have the same undertones as your skin. Have fun.

2. When you have CandyLipz, you can wear dark rich and red colors! In general, dark shades such as  red or dark berry can be very unflattering because it makes slim lips look thinner- like a zip lock bag. Since, you now can have lips any size you like, you can have fun with all the deep rich and sexy colors that you were not able to wear before. The world is yours. Display Them. Flaunt Them. Love Them.
