When you are buying a lipstick, the first thing you need to do is determine if your complexion is light, medium, or dark.

Once you have identified your complexion colour you need to pick a lipstick shade that goes well with it.

A light or fair complexion does well with pinks, reds, and peachy colours. Bright or bold tones often work well.

Medium, olive, or tan complexions work well with most colours. You can wear nudes, pinks, reds, and orange shades.

Darker complexions look great in dark or deep tones with purples, mauves, corals, and orange shades. A bright lipstick can make makeup pop for people with this skin tone.
