So, selecting Lip colours to suit your occasion can be quite an indecisive choice, as there are so many variants to choose from! Do you often do your whole makeup look and then leave the lipstick shade until last, as the lips are the biggest statement and you don’t want to underperform or over perform on your choice of shade? Well, in terms of lip colours there are nudes, reds, berry colours and now even black is a trend, since Kylie Jenner hit the makeup scene with her Nightfall Lipstick shade! What is a girl to? Read on to find out more of course!

1. Office wear

In the office, there are those who like to play safe and do minimal makeup as possible, or there are those who use their makeup to portray how fierce they actually are-with no limits! That choice is entirely up to you as a person, however doesn’t a tailored suit with a bold berry red colour speak volumes? You are here to work but want to be seen for all your efforts too! Nobody forgets that girl who is oozing with style and work ethic do they?

Try the shade Scarlet Empress Audacious by NARS cosmetics to complete the look or NYX Liquorice for a more high end alternative. Both have a buttery texture, which are very moisturising and not drying for the lips.

2. Casual Date with the Girls

A casual date with the girls means shopping and a spot of lunch right? Therefore you will need a long-lasting lip colour and a shade that suits your casual but chic outfit. Therefore what is the best option? NUDES of course. A lip colour that comes to mind is the MAC Liquid lip colour in the shade Lady be good. It is long lasting, suiting anything and everything ; with a subtle elegance-whats not to like?

3. Family Occasion

Lip colours to suit a family occasion usually, are sensible and subtle…So, with all that in mind a simple yet a glossy finish would still make whatever shade you decide on, looking more dressy with a classic finish. Try the Fenty Gloss bomb, in Fenty Glow worn above the lip liner Natural Creme by LA Girl.  Glosses always bring your overlook makeup look up a notch, regardless of the shade you decide on, so rock whatever shade you have girl!

4. Date Night

The night you want to impress and feel yourself completely, but also hit your date with a large impact that he will not forget! Therefore, you have to go for red lip colours. Red usually works very well with a nude smokey eye, or even make simple makeup look effortless. The shade of red depends completely on your skin undertone, which can be a warm or cool complexion. Blue hue reds compliment cool tones and orange tone reds compliment Warm tones. To figure out what undertone you are is easy! Hold your forearm up to the light, and look where your pulse should be located. Blue veins indicate you are a cool tone and green veins indicate a warm tone. However if you are a bit of both, great news- you are a neutral tone and can wear both, YAY!

A night out is all about letting your hair down and having fun with your girl clique, therefore an orange shade is just for you. Orange toned lipsticks can be subtle or completely bright- it all depends on how courageous you are feeling!

Try the shades Amplified Neon Orange in MAC for a clementine shade, or the Bobbi Brown’s Orange shade for a more subtle nude orange.
