Strawberry blonde - lipstick recommendations?

8 replies

Hi, so I'm very fair with strawberry blonde hair and green eyes.
I don't tend to wear lipstick much (Just Vaseline during the day) but I would like to start wearing one at work each day.

I'm a bit clueless when it comes to colours..I'd also like something long lasting that I can apply in the morning and not have to worry about until home time!

Someone recommended Maybelline lip ink , but there's so many different shades.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have similar colouring Flame from Boots No 7 is flattering. Many years ago I wore MAC Russian Red but stopped once they were no longer cruelty free.

Do you know if your skin tone is warm or cool? That will help you choose - the boots thing will probably help as well
Once you have an idea of that then there are loads of stain type things to try, and knowing which colours suit best will help you narrow it down.

My sister is a blue eyed strawberry blonde. She’s very fair. Going out she always wears red and it looks amazing. During the day she’s changed recently to wearing light coral lipstick. It looks great on her.

Thank you! Yes I'm a warm spring apparently!
