This spring, pink will be a necessary color for your lips! It’s very feminine, bright, and cheery. It denotes happiness and youth, therefore pink will be a very popular color this spring and summer.

To pick the perfect shade of pink for your lips, match the colors to your skin tone. First, determine if you have a darker skin tone, a light skin tone, or an olive skin tone. It’s very important to pick the right shades for a soft, natural look.

The darker your skin, the more pigment you can wear. That means you should opt for darker pinks, more dramatic colors since the contrast between your dark skin won’t be as pronounced.

For lighter skin, stick with paler hues, without any blue casts. These colors include mauve or pale rose which complement your skin without making it look too dramatic.

For olive skin, pick darker pinks with a touch of purple. You can go with anything from a dark rose to a black cherry color.
