It was Saturday and Madhu decided to go shopping with her friend. She went to a popular cosmetic shop in the mall close by to her place. She was amazed to see the amazingly endless lipstick collection in the store. She glanced over different lipstick colours and finally picked up three shades that she liked. But did she choose the right shades? The lipstick shade that you pick should compliment yours skin tone and your lip colour. All your efforts of applying lipstick perfectly are of no use if the shade of your lipstick is mistaken. The right shade makes a lot of difference in the appearance and overall personality. You may be a shade away to get luscious lips.How to test a lipstick shade?
Never use a test lipstick on your lips, doing this can be quite unhygienic. Many of us have a habit of testing lipstick shade on the back of our hand. Testing a lipstick shade on the back of the hand can deceive you and you might end up buying a shade that is not made for you. The best way to test your lipstick colour is testing it on your fingertips. Test your lipstick shade in the bright light or a natural sunlight so that you will not be misguided by one shade for another. Once testing part is over you heads closer towards getting creamier lips.Lipstick shade for fair skin
Pick up the lighter shades of pink and orange if you have combination of fair skin and light hair. You can also go for colours like peach and beige. If you have fair skin and dark hair then you should pick up shades of deep pink and caramel to complement the combination. Any lipstick shade will go with medium skin and hair tone but it is better to go for lighter shades to show up the richness of the skin.Lipstick shade for dark skin
Plum or wine lipstick complements the dark skin perfectly. If you are blessed with an olive skin tone then you can experiment with reds and light browns. If you have dark skin tone then go for matte finish than frosted ones. Keep away from bright reds and pinks and colour your lips with medium and dull shades. Shades of blackberry, caramels and purples are meant for the dusky skin tone.Tips for applying lipstick

Comments: Whenever I wanted to buy lipsticks I go to the mall and ask the salesgirls over there to help me out. Most of the time they have fair idea about the right shades. In a cosmetic shop you will get every possible shade. I use Mac lipsticks. They have variety of shades. It is important to keep your lips moisturized. Some lipsticks tend to soak up the moisture. I apply some Vaseline before going to bed and in the morning my lips feel soft. Some lipsticks contain vitamin E which is good for your skin. You can always use plain lip gloss instead of lipsticks if your lips have become too dry. Keep experimenting with your lipstick shades.

Comments: I bought some shades from the market but then I realized these are not right shades for me. But instead of discarding them I tried blending few shades to get the shade that I want. It worked. Blending a light pink lipstick with little bit of red can give you a good shade. Blending brown shade lipstick with violet shade will give a glamorous shade. I apply lip gloss once I am done with application of the lipstick. The second thing I learnt about lipstick that one should have a lip brush so that you can pull out the lipstick at the bottom of the tube with the help of the brush. I can not do without lipstick.

Comments: My sister used to test the lipstick colour on the back of her hand and at the end she would keep complaining that the colour is not so good. Then I told her that most of the time the skin tone of the back of your hand does not match with the skin tone of your lips. I will share the tip from this article about testing lipstick shade on the fingertips with my sis so she will not be unhappy after buying her lipstick. Most important she will not spend unnecessary on lipsticks. Choosing a right shade is very important. A wrong shade can mess up your look.
