In this article we will focus on lipsticks that suit exactly brunettes, let's look at how to choose the right product for the color of eyes and skin, and how to avoid mistakes when choosing this makeup.
Choosing lipstick for eye color
One of the factors influencing the choice of lipstick is the eyes. The color of the iris directly affects the shade of the agent, its intensity, brightness and temperature.
Brown-eyed
Girls with brown eyes should refresh their image if they do not want to achieve monochrome appearance.
It is necessary to give preference to dark red hues, reminiscent of ripe cherry or seasoned wine.
Bright gamma, including pink or purple colors, must be with a warm subtone. Otherwise, the cold color of lipstick will give a pale and unhealthy color to the face.
Ladies with black hair are suitable pigmented pink shades. They look appropriate during the day and highlight the natural beauty.
Saturated wine and ruby colors should be reserved for evening style or for the winter period, creating the image of Snow White.
Cherry, coral tones of lipsticks are suitable for owners of brown hair, they perfectly emphasize the youth and texture of the skin. Red shades give the image brightness and energy. For a cold color type, crimson, 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 get here, get a shade with brown and gold notes in a warm or cold spectrum.
Blue eyed
All bright and rich color palette appropriately looks on girls with blue eyes, without causing a dissonance in an image. They themselves have a bright and memorable appearance.
Fuchsia, scarlet red, ripe crimson, coral shades on a warm base - an excellent choice for owners of blue "mirrors of the soul."
But the orange, carrot and cold colors of lipstick will give the face a bluish look, they should be abandoned.
Green eyed
Girls with this eye color most often belong to the autumn color type with warm skin tone and brown hair.
With green eyes, almost all shades of lipstick will be well combined, but preference should be given to pure colors.
Red, red-brown, beige-brown, lilac, peach, muted pink gamma - a good solution for green-eyed fashionistas.
Gray-eyed
For such girls there is a universal color - scarlet. The whole palette of red flowers looks perfect on owners of gray eyes, and shades of the average saturation of any spectrum look more natural on any skin type.
But too cold colors should be avoided.
Among such tones will be lilac, lilac-blue, pearl colors.
Under skin tone
Another factor in the selection of lipstick - skin tone.
The invariable rule says that cold colors should be combined with cold, warm ones - with warm ones.
If the skin is light, clean colors in pink and red tones with a shimmer, glitter or matte texture will do. Any light shades look natural, slightly shading the skin color.
On dark skin, warm shades accentuate tan and hair color. A girl with light eyes and dark skin should choose dark matte colors to emphasize the contrast of appearance.
Owners of olive skin will love the colors in a warm range with satin finish, which will create an emphasis on the color of eyes and skin. Terracotta, brown, golden beige, caramel neutral colors do not blur the appearance, they look harmonious, relevant in the style of clothing and evening wear.
Girls with a neutral skin type can safely choose any color range.
Their appearance can also “pull” controversial colors:
- turquoise;
- green;
- brick red;
- pale beige;
- natural beige.
How to choose an image?
A matte finish can create a calling image. In order to avoid this lipstick, it is preferable to take a sateen effect or dilute a 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 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 this lipstick, you should take care of moisturizing the surface of the skin of the lips.
Glossy finish in any shade can be formed by a shimmer or small sparkles. Classic transparent gloss can visually adjust the shape of the lips, make them plump due to the reflected light.
Brilliant pearly lips require a properly chosen stylistic image.
Pearlescent particles in the wrong color of lipstick can adversely affect the appearance of the girl and the color of her skin.
Lipstick-balms contain little coloring pigments. Here there is a color palette from light, almost invisible shades to almost black. But, despite such an intense color in a tube, the product will lie on the lips with a translucent layer. Like glitter, suitable for all forms of lips, further moisturizing them.
Satin finish gives a delicate sheen. Externally, it looks like a matte, but has a softer and more moist formula. Natural natural shades are suitable for office and day walks. The nude shade of lipstick is combined with light dresses, skirts, trouser suits and any other clothing of simple and complex design.
Saturated colors are the prerogative of evening solemn images, bright makeup colors are also suitable for visiting the theater. In an office style, if the employer allows, 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 goal. It all depends on the technique of applying the product. When using a brush or squeezing out a tube, the lipstick gives a strong pigmented layer of paint.
To make the color more transparent and calm, it is necessary to put a small amount of lipstick into the skin of the lips with your fingers or a paper napkin, creating the effect of light makeup.
However, this variant of wearing lipstick is not persistent due to the presence of a small amount of pigment on the lips.
For make-up with arrows or bright details, you should choose neutral colors of lipstick. Emphasis should be on only one face detail. When using rich wine or dark lipstick eyes remain clean, without makeup.
Appearance of brunettes can maintain a simultaneous emphasis on the lips and eyes, but on the condition that the appearance of the girl is contrast, - as a rule, this is a winter color type.Otherwise, a feeling of an overloaded and vulgar image will be created.
To create a solid image in make-up, blush should be chosen to match 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 hands, and if the color is too much, to powder or easy to go with a brush with foundation. This method is not suitable for owners of oily skin. The oils contained in the lipstick can affect the onset of acne and clogged pores.
The stores feature a variety of probes from any brand. When choosing a lipstick, it is not necessary to apply it on the lips, just unscrew the tube and just apply it to the lips. So it will be easier to understand the color or not. With liquid lipsticks in transparent packages, this method also works. In addition, you can put a little money on the upper part of the hand.
