Lipstick 101: Choosing the Right Shade

Choosing the right shade of lipstick is easier than you think! It all lies in your skin tone.

//Very Fair Skin//

Choose cool-toned shade like magenta or ruby red. These look flattering against a pinkish complexion and won't overwhelm the faired skinned lady.
