Sometimes you need to jazz up your makeup looks by getting lipsticks that are outside of your comfort zone AKA nude lipsticks. Brighter lipsticks can make your skin glow and make your makeup look more put-together or in other words, your makeup will appear more ‘alive’. When we mention bright lipsticks, we don’t mean magenta pink lipsticks or chilli red lipsticks, but those that are bright enough to compliment your skin tone.

Finding brighter lipsticks can be challenging because you don’t want to look weird and in these days of online shopping, it’s important to do your research because you don’t want to end up with a bad one that’ll end up in the trash after sitting on your makeup counter for a good three years, untouched.

Light: You have a light skin tone with cool undertones. Rosy pink tones match your skin best for that pop of colour without looking too dramatic.
