SkinStore surveyed 2,000 women and found that nude lipstick is what makes them feel "prettier" and "more attractive."

The top five power shades were nude, light pink, berry red, dark pinks, and bright red.
Earlier explorers from the University of Rochester in New York have already scientifically confirmed that women in red attracts men's attention most of all.

(Epidermal and Sensory Research and Investigation Center), the amount of contrast in the colors on your face affects how young or old we perceive people. In other words: Blush and lipstick make you look younger.
In the subjective assessments, a lip proportion of 1 to 1.6 (upper lip to lower lip) was rated as most attractive: average score of 4.21 out of a possible 5. The 1:1.6 proportion is widely accepted as the "golden ratio" for beautiful lips.

'The research suggests that red lips and perceived attractiveness are still inextricably linked, with red lipstick proving to be the most powerful attractor and significantly increasing visual fixation. '
Research indicates that red lips are universally appealing, possibly due to a perceived association with sexual arousal. Highly attractive women were perceived as even more attractive in red.
A 2015 article that examined the health effects of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and chromium in lipsticks revealed that there were no significant non-carcinogenic health risks through lipstick consumption for the prolonged exposure of 35 years.

A perfect face is all about symmetry. Bigger eyes, narrow nose, higher cheekbones, fuller lips and an overall proportionate face is considered to be attractive and supposedly perfect.

The next highest-rated, according to the poll, was a larger bottom lip compared to the top lip (like those rocked by Kylie Jenner).
It turned out that the picture on the far-left marked 'A' was actually seen as most attractive. Unsurprisingly to anyone with functioning eye balls, 'D', with a heavy upper lip, was the least attractive look. In fact, it was the heavier lower lip that was rated most attractive.
The 1:1.6 proportion is widely accepted as the "golden ratio" for beautiful lips. By comparison, an image showing a fuller lower lip (1:2 ratio) was perceived as less attractive, with an average rating of 2.16 out of 5.
