Lipsticks are a basic part of makeup and choosing the right shade of lipstick plays an important role in the overall look. First things first, lipsticks have to be chosen based on the skin tone and the undertone of the skin. Yes, both skin tone and undertone are different.

The undertones can be classified as the warm undertone, cool undertone. and neutral (olive) undertone.If the nerves appear green on the wrist, you can say that you have a warm or yellow undertone. If the color of the nerves on the wrist appear blue, white or gray in color, then you can say that you have a cool or pink undertone. If the color of the nerves on the wrist is a combination of both blue and green, then you have a neutral complexion.
The trick is simple, for warm undertones choose warm shades of lipstick such as cherry red or browns.For cool undertones, choose lipstick shades of purple or blues. For olive or neutral skin tones, almost any shade of lipstick looks good.
