Lipstick is more than makeup—it’s a statement. But when it comes time to pair that perfect shade with your outfit, many of us start second-guessing. Will red clash with that top? Does pink look too subtle? Should you go bold or play it safe?
If you’ve ever found yourself pausing mid-routine, this guide is for you. Matching your lipstick to your outfit doesn't have to be complicated. With a few easy tricks—and a versatile lipstick set like the Devasmi Matte Liquid Lipstick Lip Colour Combo of 5—you’ll never feel unsure again.
Why Matching Lipstick to Your Outfit Matters

Your lipstick and clothing can either work in harmony or fight for attention. When coordinated well, they elevate your look, adding polish and personality. When mismatched, the look can feel unbalanced or out of sync.
But there’s no need to follow rigid rules. Matching your lipstick to your outfit is more about creating visual balance and complementing your personal style than following fashion formulas.
The Easiest Ways to Match Lipstick with Your Look
Let’s explore a few simple methods that take the guesswork out of choosing the right shade—using the diverse color range in Devasmi’s matte lipstick combo featuring Orange Lily, Maroon Petunia, Iris Purple, Fire Opal, and Raspberry Pink.
1. Use the Color Wheel to Create Contrast
One of the easiest ways to make your lipstick pop is by choosing a complementary color—something that sits opposite your outfit’s hue on the color wheel.

-
Wearing a green outfit? Try Fire Opal (a rich, bold coral) for contrast.
-
Rocking navy or deep blue? Pair it with Orange Lily for a warm, lively vibe.
-
Dressed in earthy tones like beige or brown? Raspberry Pink adds a fresh burst of color.
Complementary shades create dimension without clashing, making your overall look feel well thought-out yet effortless.
2. Match Tone, Not Color
You don’t always need to match your lipstick to your clothing color—instead, match the tone.

-
Cool-toned outfits (like grey, silver, icy blue) look great with Iris Purple or Maroon Petunia.
-
Warm-toned outfits (like cream, mustard, rust) pair beautifully with Orange Lily or Fire Opal.
-
Neutral or monochrome looks (black, white, beige) are flexible—you can wear almost any bold lipstick from the Devasmi combo.
Tone-on-tone coordination helps keep your look cohesive and polished.
3. Let One Element Stand Out
If your outfit is loud or patterned, opt for a neutral or softer lip shade. If your clothing is minimal, use your lips as the statement.
-
A simple black dress + Iris Purple = bold and confident
-
A floral blouse with multiple colors? Ground it with Maroon Petunia
-
Wearing all white or nude tones? Bring in Fire Opal or Raspberry Pink to add depth
With Devasmi’s, you always have a shade that will either balance or elevate your outfit, depending on the look you're going for.
4. Match with Accessories
When in doubt, coordinate your lipstick with your accessories instead of your entire outfit.
-
Gold earrings or a tan bag? Orange Lily adds warmth.
-
Silver jewelry or a cool-toned scarf? Go with Iris Purple.
-
Statement shoes in maroon or red? Pair with Maroon Petunia for instant cohesion.
This trick subtly ties your look together without making it feel too matchy.
5. Consider the Occasion
-
Work/Meetings: Opt for more muted tones like Maroon Petunia or Raspberry Pink.
-
Evenings Out: Bring out the bold—Fire Opal and Orange Lily are great attention-grabbers.
-
Daytime Casual: Keep it fresh and effortless with Raspberry Pink or Iris Purple.
Having a lipstick set like Devasmi’s gives you the flexibility to choose based on where you’re going, what you're wearing, and how you want to feel.
