Sorry this took so long to post! I was out all afternoon/evening.
The top picture on the right was posted so you can know what the lipsticks look like on the shelf, in order to spot them easier! All you have to do is take a screenshot of the lipsticks and take it to the store with you! I purchased number 7 at Sally's Beauty Supply and the others I believe were purchased at Walmart. Number 6 somehow lost the label but I call it "Barbie Pink" when you swatch it on your hand, it literally looks like the color that was on the Barbie Dolls growing up! It reminds me of a baby pink but it can tend to be bright, especially if your skin is pale.
Okay, here is the list of brands and the names of the colors!
1) L'Oreal Paris- "Peach Fuzz" number 417
2) L'Oreal Paris- "Blazing Lava" number 303
3) Rimmel London Kate Moss Edition- Rosetto 17
4) Rimmel London Kate Moss Edition- Rosetto 10
5) Wet n' Wild- "Sand Storm" number 913C
6) Wet n' Wild- (I call it Barbie Pink) ;-)
7) Femme Couture- "Nude Kiss" number 827322 (Sally's Beauty)
8) Rimmel London- "In Love With Ginger" number 660
To the right is a simple chart to screenshot and have on hand the next time you go on a beauty haul.
The trick is to match the undertone of the lipstick, to the undertone of your skin. If you have a cool undertone to your skin, then buy a cool undertone lipstick and if you have a warm undertone, match it with a warm lipstick.
Here is some helpful tips from a website to help you to determine HOW to figure out your undertone a little better than I can:
There are several ways to determine your skin tone, but here are some quick methods to keep in mind: **NOT MY WORDS**
- "If you tan easily and do not burn, your skin's natural melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color) level is higher, and you most likely have a yellow-to-olive, warm undertone. This is true for most African-American and women of Indian descent. Some African-American women with deep ebony skin tones may actually have a cool (bluish) undertone, so dark copper shades look off but espresso-type shades match perfectly.
- Those who burn and either tan minimally or not at all have significantly less melanin, which results in a pink, bluish-red, or ruddy cooler undertone. In addition, look for telltale signs: a ruddy skin tone has obvious signs of redness or is one that tends to flush easily. Some neutral skin tones fall into this category, particularly if rosacea is a factor, so experiment with cool to neutral tones to see what works best for you.
- Olive skin tones tend to look somewhat ashen or gray, from the combination of the natural yellow undertone everyone has and the greenish hue that’s unique to olive skin of any depth. Neutral tones tend to work best, but experiment with warm tones as well, as you may fall somewhere in between.
- Neutral skin tones are those with no obvious overtones of olive, sallow, or pink. People with this skin tone tend to have the easiest time finding foundation, concealer, and powders that are just right for them. In fact, those with neutral skin tones may find they can easily wear more than one shade in any given foundation lineup.
- The shortcut test: Some people like to rely on the color of their veins: Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins appear blue/purple you are in the cool-toned (bluish) spectrum. If your veins appear green, you are in the warm-toned (yellow) spectrum. Those with neutral undertones will have difficulty discerning the blue/green."
*Keep in mind that the undertone of your skin changes with the seasons. It all depends on if you are sporting a tan or not.*
Hope the chart and these tips help you pick out your PERFECT shade of red! Have fun with it, and don't be afraid to experiment. You'll know when you pick the right shade for you!
**Tomorrow's post will be more eye shadow swatches! So keep an eye out for my Facebook post!!**
