Find the perfect lipstick colour for your fair skin with our handy tips, tricks and gorgeous shade recommendations below – you’ll be spoilt for choice!
DISCOVER YOUR SKIN'S UNDERTONE
First, you need to know your skin’s undertone. To find out if you have cool, neutral or warm undertones, take a look at your veins on the underside of your wrist.
Cool Undertones: if your veins appear blue or purple, you’re likely to have a cool undertone to your skin.
Neutral Undertones: if they’re more of a green-toned colour, you’re likely to have neutral undertones.
Warm Undertones: if you’re still studying the veins on your wrist and you’re neither cool nor neutral, you’ve probably got warm undertones. Those with warm undertones have bluish-green toned veins.
Now that you’ve determined your skin’s undertone, you can find your perfect lipstick shade for your gorgeous fair skin! Whether you love pink, red, nude or coral lipstick, find the shade for you to make your skin GLOW!
PINK LIPSTICKS FOR FAIR SKIN
If you’re looking for a suits-all pink shade, look no further than Charlotte's revolutionary Pillow Talk lipstick! Available in matte, glossy and glittering finishes, Pillow Talk is a perfect nude-pink lip shade for fair skin.
Charlotte's Hot Lips 2 lipstick in In Love with Olivia is a sumptuous pink lipstick in a gorgeous, moisturising formula! Created in homage to Olivia Palermo, this is a shade that suits everyone, especially those with fair skin and warm, yellow undertones!
Another lip colour which looks fabulous on warm-toned fair skin is K.I.S.S.I.N.G. lipstick in Penelope Pink. Being more of a nude-pink lipstick, Penelope Pink is the perfect shade for a gorgeous everyday pout!
