For a natural look, apply a clear lip gloss over your lip liner. For a more dramatic look, try using a colored lip gloss.
It can be helpful to think about your lip gloss based on your skin tone. Cool, neutral, or warm, working with your skin's undertone can help you find a shade that complements your complexion the most. “Warm undertones tend to pair well with peachy or golden hues, while rosy or berry shades complement cool undertones.
If you do want it to match, most manufacturers put out lip liners that are basically the same color as their most popular lipsticks (and often with the same color name). Look at the brand of lipstick you want to match and go to ulta, Sephora, or the company's website and see if they have one.
To ensure a flattering end result, make sure the liner you choose is in the same color family and has the same undertones as your lipstick (more on that shortly).
To achieve the best lip liner and color combo, start with a dark liner that is at least two shades darker than your skin tone. You'll want to overline the lips slightly, taking care to create a smooth line around the lips. Then, reach for a clear gloss or nude lipstick and fill in the lines carefully.
Start by picking a color similar to your natural lip color or slightly lighter than the tint of the lip gloss you're using. You want to make sure the lip liner color doesn't detract from your lip gloss and that it will look natural if your gloss starts to fade.
NUDE LIP LINER: A VERSATILE CHOICE FOR EVERYDAY GLAM
Nude lip liner is a makeup staple for a reason—it's incredibly versatile and can effortlessly complement a wide range of lipstick colours.
As a rule, your lip liner should be a close colour match to your lipstick to help them mesh seamlessly on the lips.
Applying a darker shade of lip liner like our Le Lip Liner in the shade 283 Amandelle (or try a dark shade of eyeshadow with a small brush) just below the center of your bottom lip helps give more dimension and creates the illusion of plump lips.
Determine Your Skin Tone
If they appear blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. If they appear green, you have a warm undertone. If you can't tell if your veins are blue or green, you likely have a neutral undertone. For warm undertones, go for lipstick shades with golden, orange, and red undertones.
Cream Test: Grab two articles of clothing, one pure white and the other off-white or cream-colored. While wearing no makeup, decide which color flatters your skin tone best. If it's the white shade, your undertones are warm. If the cream color flatters you more, your undertones are likely cool.
Start at the center of your mouth and spread the gloss to the corners to evenly apply. For a sharper effect, consider dabbing a touch of concealer in a shade lighter than your skin tone just outside your lips.
If you have light skin, you'll want to choose lip gloss shades that complement your fair complexion. Nude shades are a great option for a natural look, but if you want to add some color, try shades of pink, peach, and light coral. Avoid dark or bold shades, which can be too harsh against your fair skin.
It's crucial to take your skin's undertone into account when selecting a glossy lip gloss hue for Indian skin tones. Cool undertones feature pink, blue, or red colors, whereas warm undertones have yellow, peach, or golden colors.
Lip Color:
The color of our lips can show how we feel, and red lips are often linked to looking healthy and attractive. People are highly attracted to pink and red lips because they promote the health and beauty of an individual's face.
The Golden Rule: Match or go slightly darker than your lipstick shade. When you want a seamless and polished pout, go for your exact shade or go slightly darker than your lipstick shade.
If you want to create a more bold lip look, fill in your entire lips with the liner. Be sure to blend the liner into your lips so that there are no harsh lines. Next, apply a coat of clear lip gloss over the lip liner. This will help to add shine and hydration to your lips.
If you want an even more enhanced lip, add a lighter lipstick or gloss to the center of your lips after blending the liner inward.
You can always factor in your complexion undertones, but another trick is to match your lipstick to the darkest part of your natural lip color (referred to as the vermillion). If you want a pale nude look, aim for one or two shades lighter and make sure the undertones match your own.
