Best lipstick for warm undertones
The best lipstick for warm undertones is coral or brick. Warm undertones have golden or peachy hues, so lipsticks with an orange, yellow or brown base look the most natural. Coral, peach, terracotta, brick and caramel nudes all look great. Light warm skin suits peachy nudes and coral pink, medium warm skin glows in terracotta and warm rose, and deeper warm skin looks stunning in brick, rust and chocolate. For nudes, choose something with a peachy or caramel base. A warm brown liner keeps everything soft and defined. Your best red is a warm orange-red or brick red, with orange or brown undertones rather than blue. Skip icy pinks and blue-based berries.
