Lipstick

[onestepforwardtenstepsback]

So I struggle to find a shade that suits me. I want something that naturally blends to my tones. Is there anything out there that does? I'm sure I read on here once that there was or I could of been dreaming

You'll have to give us a wee bit more info. What colour of hair and eyes do you have and do you have a warm or cool colouring?

Barry m and Lipstick Queen do green lipsticks that are supposed to react to the pH of your lips and blend to a flattering pink.

If you go tot he Boots counter they not only can give you the shade of foundation to suit you, but what lipstick shades will suit. Even if you do not wish to buy foundation it might be worth doing it to find a lippie you like.

I was very pleased because although I already knew exactly what shade foundation to go by, with my warm, light colouring I had a big choice of lipstick shades I could wear.

Hi I've got blue eyes, very light blonde hair and I'm really fair skinned.
I'll have a look at the green ones see if they help. And can always try boots counters thanks

Rodial do a really lovely nude lip pencil. Very flattering. Just add gloss or balm on top.

Dior do a lip glow that "reacts to the unique chemistry of each woman's lips to give them a natural flush of custom pink that suits her skin tone. As if revived from within, lips are fresh, full and radiant. " m.dior.com/en_gb/fragrance-beauty/makeup/backstage-pros/lips/pr-lipspros-y0027010-color-awakening-lipbalm.html

I've been using it for years and have it in two shades. It makes a big difference to my appearance, without me looking 'made up'.

Arrow also do something similar, called a colour enhancing lip balm. It's half the price and has a more or less identical effect. I have four of these (one in each of my most used bags) as it matches all makeup. www.birchbox.co.uk/shop/arrow-boost-color-enhancing-lip-balm
