JAKARTA - Lipstick is one of the most interesting elements in every makeup, and the right color selection is very important to achieve the desired look.

Hitesh Dewett, a makeup artist from House of Beauty, explained that the first step in choosing a lipstick color is to find out a person's skin tone and undertone. The color of the skin refers to the outer color that can vary from bright to dark.

"Understanding the color of your skin will help in choosing the appropriate lipstick. Meanwhile, undertone is a subtle feel that is below the skin's surface, and can be relatively warm, cold, or neutral. One way to determine the undertone is to see the veins on the wrist," said Dewett, as quoted by Antara.

If the veins look green, it shows warm undertone, and the color on the base of yellow, orange, or gold will be the right choice.

On the other hand, if the veins are blue or purple, then most likely you have a cold undertone, so the color with a blue, purple, or pink feel is very suitable. Then for those with a mixture of blue and green veins, it shows neutral undertone, which allows you to wear both warm and cold colors properly.

By understanding skin tone and undertone, you can easily choose the ideal lipstick. However, it's important to remember that lipstick selection is a very personal decision; each individual has a color preferences based on their comfort level. For example, someone with dark skin can appear confident with bright red lipstick, although this is not easy for everyone," he added.

In addition, for bright skin owners, it is recommended to choose lipstick that can highlight the natural color of the skin, such as nude with a slight touch of pink ortermiology, as well as soft glasses and light chocolate. For a bolder look, red lipstick or dark red can be an option.

Meanwhile, those who have moderate skin tones, colors such as pink, pink purple, and rich berries can increase the impression of warmth. Meanwhile, wine red and dark red are also very suitable for a more striking appearance.

For owners of dark skin, a bolder and brighter lipstick color is ideal. Dark colors such as berries, plums, or chocolate can create a prominent look, while Fuchsia, tangerine, and classical red offers striking contrast.

If you have a dry lip problem or break, use lip scrub first, then apply lip balm or lip oil to provide hydration. After that, select lipstick with Sayap formula or which has damp effects such as satin lipstick which provides long-lasting moisture," he suggested.
