Lipstick Shade Finder: Find Your Perfect Lip Colour

Quick answer: Choose your undertone, occasion and finish, and this finder will suggest a lipstick shade family, from everyday nude to bold party red, that suits you.

The right lipstick can brighten your whole face, while the wrong undertone can make you look tired. This lipstick shade finder uses your undertone, the occasion, and your preferred finish to suggest a shade family that is most likely to flatter you.

Choose your undertone first, then how bold you want to go, and whether you prefer matte, cream or gloss. The tool gives you a shade family to test, not a single exact product, so it works with any brand.

How It Works and the Calculation Formula

Undertone picks the colour family, occasion picks the depth, and finish picks the texture. Everyday looks stay close to your natural lip colour, office looks are one step deeper, and party looks go bold.

Formula: Lipstick = Colour family(undertone) + Depth(occasion) + Texture(finish). Example: cool + party + matte = Berry Red, matte.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easiest everyday lipstick?

A shade one or two tones deeper than your natural lip colour, in a cream or gloss finish, suits almost everyone for daily wear.

How do I make lipstick last longer?

Exfoliate, apply lip balm, blot, apply a thin layer of powder through tissue, then reapply lipstick.

Should I match lipstick to my outfit?

Match it to your undertone first. A classic red works with most outfits if the undertone is right.

Is matte drying?

Matte formulas can be drying, so moisturize lips first and avoid layering too many coats.

What shade suits bridal makeup?

Soft rose, peach nude or rose nude shades photograph well and do not overpower the rest of the makeup.
