The Famous LipStick

 Good morning Ladies,

A woman
might forget to apply mascara or eye liner, but you will rarely see a
woman stepping out of the house without a swipe of her favorite
lipstick. There is something about a lipstick that makes it so appealing
to women, both old and young. A good lipstick is all that is needed to
transform your face and make you look instantly seductive and sexy.
There are so many different brands of lipstick available with myriad
shades and formulations. It is important to find a lipstick color or
shade that suits your skin tone and which looks perfect on you. Many
dark-skinned women wrongly think that their options for lipstick shades
are limited. There are so many lipstick shades which are suitable for
dark-skinned women, that can make them look more attractive.

Talking about lipstick, I usually go for 2 combinations: 

1.  Rose Exclusif  transparent lip gloss from Bourjois (soft pink when applied) and black lip liner
2. MAC’s lip liner in NightMoth and lipstick in Cyber

 And I am currently trying the following lip colors:

1.  MAC’s lip liner in Currant and lipstick in Morange
2. MAC’s lip liner in Currant and lipstick in Girl About Town

Now, while
choosing a lipstick, you have to select shades that would look good
against a dark skin tone. There are two type of skin tones – warm skin
tone and cool skin tone. Most of us (women of color) have a warm skin
tone. I said most, not all. Some of us do have a cool
skin tone. If you are a woman with warm skin tone, then you need to
choose lipstick colors that echo your skin tone and blend beautifully
with your cocoa complexion. You should purchase lipstick colors with a
warm undertone like coral, berry, fuchsia and salmon pinks. These colors
look excellent with your skin tone and help to bring out the color of
your eyes. If you have a cool skin tone then you need to choose a
lipstick that has a blue undertone like cherry red, brick red and deep
berry shades (I have a cool skin tone. So now  you know why I usually go for brick red, the dark berry and why I always have a dark lip liner on).

That being said, here’s a list of lipstick shades, I believe, flatter our coca complexion:

While I am more on the dark & nude side, I sometimes try some bright (dark shade of red and now the morange :-)) or pink (fushia/berry) colors. Now tell me, what is your favorite lip color?

Thank you for reading. Until next time,
