Lipstick for dusky women: 8 tips to find the perfect lipstick shade for women with dusky skin tone

With a whole lot of different color palettes, women usually get confused when it comes to selecting the perfect lipstick shade. When it comes to selecting the right shade of lipstick, not only should the lipstick shade match with the outfit and the look, but it should also match your skin tone. Women with dusky skin are often in a fix while choosing a lip color shade that matches with their skin tone. We will share with you some tips to select the perfect lipstick color for women with dusky skin. 

The first step to pick the perfect shade is to identify the undertone of your skin. Check the color of the veins on the inside of your wrist, green veins indicate you have a warm undertone, blue or purple indicate you have cool undertone and if you cannot identify if it is green or blue, chances are that you have a neutral undertone. Dusty or pinkish red looks good on cool undertones, bright cherry red hues look good on neutral undertone and blue-based red looks good on skin with warm undertone.

The next step is to apply a natural makeup so that it is not heavy on your skin and brings out your naturally flawless dusky skin tone. You can apply a little bit of base makeup also on the lips if you feel that you have uneven toned lips. Here is a list of the best lipstick shades for women with dusky skin tone.
