Find your perfect pink

What pink lipstick shade is perfect for you?

Fair skin

You can choose a lip shade from either end of the spectrum, like soft baby pink or deep fuchsia. But stick to matte – as soon as you go glossy, it can look too Barbie.

Try: Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Blushing Pink, $52

Olive skin

Never go lighter than your natural lip colour. Stick with strong, deep pigments such as hot pink. Keep it from looking too dated by avoiding bronzer and try pairing it with a navy eyeliner.

Dark skin

The deeper the lipstick shade, the more natural and soft your lips will look, so choose a hue with an intense pigment to cover your natural colour.

Still not sure?

Try picking a pink with the same undertone as your natural lip shade. The best way to do this is to test the colour on the pad of your fingertip. The skin here is close to your natural lip colour, so it’s the most accurate spot for testing a lipstick.
