Test
If you are not ready to choose the lipsticks that suit you, you can conduct testing to make unmistakable choice. The fan (finger) method is especially popular. Be sure to pay attention to the lighting in which you will conduct testing, preferably during the day. Don't put on makeup before going out to the store. Take a small mirror with you (there may be insufficient lighting in the store).
Let's start the test:
- choose the shades you like (up to 10 – according to the number of fingers);
- apply one color to each finger;
- we approach a brightly lit mirror or with our mirror we go to the window or to the street (in daytime);
- make a wide smile, look in the mirror;
- place one finger at a time on your lips (with the painted side facing the mirror);
- We pay attention to the combination with the skin tone, eye color, and whether the teeth turn yellow against the background of the chosen shade.
This way we make a choice.
When choosing a product in an online store, it is recommended to print a photo of the shades on a printer and apply the pictures to your lips. You should know: printer ink does not always match the actual color 100%. Please note that when choosing a color, it is worth considering the structure of the lipstick: gloss will add more volume, matte dark ones will reduce the size of the lips. Corrections are made using a pencil.
It is likely that comparing your appearance with the appearance of some famous, popular pop diva, on whose image entire groups of stylists and makeup artists are working, will help speed up the selection of the appropriate lipstick. If your appearance matches the color of your eyes, hair, skin and age, and you like this woman’s makeup, then try to “try on” the colors of her lipstick. Of course, you shouldn’t blindly buy her cosmetics. color palette, just with fan (finger) testing, you can start trying on exactly the colors that this woman uses.
Who is carrot lipstick suitable for?
One of the most capricious colors is carrot; it is not suitable for everyone. Ideal for girls with a warm color type (spring-autumn). Carrot lipstick is a salvation for girls who have circles under their eyes: the expressiveness of the lipstick color distracts attention from this flaw. To create a harmonious image, you need to choose an appropriate wardrobe and take into account other makeup features. Using carrot-colored lipstick, focusing on the lips, your eyes should be painted with neutral beige, gray, brown, or coffee colors. Excessive diversity in your wardrobe when wearing makeup with such lipstick is unacceptable. Preferred are discreet sets with the addition of color accents when using accessories (for example, a shawl, scarf or scarf, headband, hoop, jewelry, the design of which contains orange, a small elegant envelope handbag (clutch) with details of the same color as pomade).
Who should wear red lipstick?
The color red symbolizes passion and confidence. It is almost universal and suits any girl, but there is a “but”.

There are about 20 shades of red, and their number is constantly growing.
The rest of your makeup and clothing should match your red lipstick. You should avoid the brightness of shadows and blush, slightly shading the cheekbones and making arrows on the eyes. The emphasis is on the lips. Lip contour pencil is selected according to natural color lips, outlining the contour, sketching the entire surface, applying lipstick over the pencil. Use a pencil or concealer to adjust the size. Red lipstick can only be used if perfectly healthy skin, as it will highlight existing defects (cracks, weathering, peeling). You should remember about nails and the selection of appropriate accessories.
Many blondes feel insecure when choosing red lipstick, believing that it can make the image indecently bright. Here we should remember the blonde star, sex symbol No. 1, the brilliant Marilyn Monroe. Red lipstick and blonde hair made her look absolutely perfect. Blondes are best suited to muted tones: coral or pink.
