Best lipstick for cool undertones
The best lipstick for cool undertones is berry or rose. Cool undertones have pink, red or blue hues, so lipsticks with a blue or pink base look the most natural. Berry, rose, raspberry, plum, fuchsia and mauve all look great. Fair and light cool skin suits rose and soft raspberry, medium cool skin looks gorgeous in berry and mauve, and deeper cool skin shines in plum, wine and fuchsia. For nudes, choose a rosy or mauve nude rather than peach or beige. A matching berry liner keeps edges sharp. Your best red is a blue-red, crisp and cool with no orange in sight. Steer clear of orange, coral and golden nudes.
