First of all, I would say that it would be nice to see a description. I am amazed at how many brands don’t give you a description. I have looked at brands that have 25 shades of a lipstick and 10 of them look similar and there is no description. I find this to be particularly true with lighter, more neutral shades. Please tell me if the red is a classic blue toned, warmer and more tomato or leans more brown. Now, I understand that undertone in skin, shading on the eyes and more pigmented lips will affect the look of the lipstick and may make it appear different on my lips but at least make the effort. Then all that Christine said.
I am hoping that Christine will allow me to usurp part of this question to ask a question of my own. It is makeup related so not totally out in left field. I have recently come to realize that I have no color theory or ability to see what colors are going to work together and enhance my shade selections. For instance, today I am using the Dior e/s quad that I purchased last week, (side note, I love it.). When my eyes were done I went to put on my blush and lipstick and after I applied and looked in the mirror, it looked nice but the overall look didn’t wow me. I look at makeup by influencer’s, makeup artists and there looks always appear cohesive and the right pairing just leaves the viewer with the impression of stunning makeup. How do you know and decide what shades to pair together? I think it is more than just undertone because I have seen warm looks with cool lips and cheeks and vice versa. I can’t go through my 150 lipsticks to try each one to see how it looks!! Any advice would be welcome. It is likely too late for me to take color theory classes, LOL!!
