Neutral Lipsticks : With neutral /N*de lipsticks I prefer coral or peach blushes. And I go a bit heavy with my blushes with a pale mouth. The same goes with brown lipsticks. I prefer to use peach or tawny shades with brown lip colors.
"It's advisable that you pair brown lipstick with other warm neutrals so you don't look too washed out," recommends Martin. So opt for pinky-brown blushers and soft, caramel-toned eye shadows. "Brown-based colors can also make the face look a little flat, so you might need to add shape and dimension," she adds.
Why and where you go wrong when pairing lipstick and blush
The first is to pair similar colours based on the idea that they match. The second is to stick to one's usual, 'natural' blush colour based on the idea that your skin's natural flush shouldn't change if your lip colour changes. Both these ideas are wrong.
Cardinal Rule #1 : Always match your lipstick to your blush!
Usually, when i would want to wear red lipstick i would say ok, let me tone down the blush and wear some neutral beige blush because my lips are bright . But the end result is usually your face looking too 'warm' and with too many colors.
It is often said that brown lipstick suits medium skin tones the best. While that has yet to be proven, we do agree that ladies in this category do have many more options. The best brown lipsticks would have cooler undertones. If you have a slightly more yellow undertone, opt for a dark brown.
"The brown lipstick trend has its pros: sexy supermodel vibes (try soft brown lip liner with a pink hue tone in the centre), as well as street vibes (opt for dark brown with a glossy shine centre finish). With so much choice to suit all skin tones, it's perfect for everyday wear.

When You're Wearing Nude Lipstick…
Don't one-up it with coral blush. Kelsey Deenihan, mark. celebrity makeup artist, says you want to create a natural rosy flush with a light rosy pink blush hue. “I would avoid any color that is overpowering like a mauve or anything too dark,” she warns.
Use blush as a lipstick: gently tap a small amount of blush with your finger (I like M'lady for a neutral, dusty- pink look). Focus on the middle part of the lips and blend towards the sides. Top with a transparent lip balm (Rallye Balm will work great for that) or a lip gloss; for a more sophisticated look.
For a natural look, choose a blush with the same undertone as your skin. If you want a bold looking blush, pick one with the opposite undertone as your skin. Therefore, If you have a warm skin tone (a yellow undertone), choose warm blush shade for a natural look and a cool blush shade for a pop of color.
Not any old blush, though—blush you wear with red lipstick should complement it without competing for your attention.
You don't need to buy a blush when you already have tons of lipsticks, and that gives you so many colors to play with. You can use your red lipstick for a more dramatic look or a pink shade for a romantic flush. Corals and oranges also work perfectly as blushes because they give you a sun-kissed glow.
For the best eye makeup to apply with dark lipstick, you need to dab a little of the cream eyeshadow on your eyelids. The reason why you should use a neutral color, is because cream eyeshadow gives a subtle glow. Finish off your eye makeup with a lot of mascara, and your eyes will be set and ready.
Brown lipstick can look great on pale skin, its all about finding the perfect one to suit you.
Is blush and eyeshadow the same thing? It is possible to use eyeshadows as blushes and highlighters. Because eyeshadows tend to be more pigmented than blushes, it's important to use a soft brush and avoid applying too much product. Eyeshadow can be used as blush, as long as it has a matte or satin finish.
If you're only looking for a just a hint of color, dab an eyeshadow brush against a powder blush and apply gently to your eyelids. For those looking to go bold with a heavy color pop, use your fingertips to smooth over a cream blush. This will add severity to your lids and embellish your natural iris.
A deep lip color like berry can often make you look washed out. To keep yourself from looking sickly, dust a blush in a shade that complements the lipstick over your cheeks. A neutral pink or rose shade will work with most berry tones.
"I've never spoken about what blush I use ever," Tejada said, shutting down the speculation that Jenner used to wear Dior's Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in Pink. Jenner added, "I've never used it or owned it." In fact, the duo normally combines various shades of blush to create Jenner's perfect pink shade.
Candy K is described as a soft, warm nude color. It's definitely reminiscent of the brown, spicy lip that made Kylie famous for her pout. This color reads very nude on medium to dark skin, and a perfect pinky brown on fair to light skin.
In a recent Snapchat Q&A, Jenner said her favorite Lip Kit was Candy K, which she just happened to be rocking that day. Because Candy K was one of the first shades out, it only makes sense that she'd love that one a bit more than the others. It's like her firstborn child!
SkinStore surveyed 2,000 women and found that nude lipstick is what makes them feel "prettier" and "more attractive."

In general, blondes are better to avoid very dark shades of lipstick, though strong colors can look fantastic if they're applied judiciously. The best lipstick shades tend to be rich wine colors.
