While red lipstick is already part of every girl’s beauty kit, it’s about time the colour pink got some much-deserved attention too. Unlike its fiery rouge cousin, a poppy lip is more delicate and can be worked easily into a beauty look for work, brunch or a night out. For that, all you need is the right pink lipstick that best suits your skin tone. Before you go rummaging to find a pert pink for your puckers, this list of the right pink lipstick for every skin tone will make it a whole lot easier.

For fair complexions

Most fair skinned complexions have cool undertones beneath them. That why shades like hot pink and blush work wonders on pale to fair skin tones. Such shades have similar blue undertones which make the skin appear warmer. PS—don’t go too light on the pink spectrum or else you may end up looking washed out!

For wheatish complexions

For wheatish complexions

Wheatish toned skin generally has a warm undertone. The trick to finding the right shade of pink for this complexion lies in choosing a lipstick with similar peach to honey undertones. We recommend lipsticks in shades of coral and watermelon pinks as they will stand out brilliantly on wheatish skin.

If you have deep, dusky skin, don’t shy away from wearing pink lipstick. Instead, choose jewel toned pinks and rich plums for your lips as these shades will complement your gorgeous complexion even more by draping your lips in a coat of vivid colour.
