Choosing the Right Lipstick for Your Skin Tone
Lipstick has the power to enhance your natural beauty, define your facial features, and boost your confidence. However, with so many shades available, finding the perfect one for your skin tone can be overwhelming. The key to selecting the best lipstick lies in understanding your skin tone and undertones. Whether you prefer soft neutrals for an everyday look, bold reds for a statement lip, or deep berry shades for a dramatic effect, knowing what complements your complexion makes all the difference.
The Devasmi Matte Lipstick collection offers a wide range of shades that cater to every skin tone, ensuring you find a color that enhances your beauty effortlessly. Let’s explore the best lipstick shades for fair, medium, olive, and deep skin tones.
Understanding Skin Tone and Undertones
Before choosing a lipstick shade, it is essential to identify both your skin tone and undertone.
Skin Tone Categories
- Fair Skin: Light and pale complexion that may burn easily in the sun.
- Medium Skin: Warm golden or tan complexion with a balanced depth.

How to Determine Your Undertone
