How to find the right pink lipstick?

Pink is a really interesting shade of lipstick because it comes in many different tints and undertones. To create pink you need to mix red and white, but if you add a drop of blue you get whats know as cool pinks commonly known as baby pink or if you mix a little yellow you create warm pinks which can be called rosy pinks or salmon or even peach.

So now you know that there can be cold pinks and also warm pinks, how do you know which one would work best for you?

Well you should think about your own skin tone. If you have a cooler skin tone that could be described as olive, champagne or golden then a cooler pink lipstick like MAC lipstick in Mehr or Sultriness will harmonise with your skin tone and will look fresh and natural. But if you want to warm up you cooler skin tone the rosy shade would be best so colours like MAC Sweet No Sugar or Mull It Over.

However if you have a warmer skin tone that could be described as pink, rose or rich then a warm pink would be more suitable. Applying shades like You Wouldn't Get It or Under The Covers. Although you may want to wear a pink to stand out on you warmer skin tone so a cooler pink is ideal. Try classic MAC shades like Snob or Amorous. As you can see there are multiple pinks out ther to play with but with these points it should be a lot less difficult to find the right shade of pink lipstick for you.
