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.

Tips that actually help

  • Choose lipsticks with an orange, yellow or brown base.
  • Line lips with a warm brown or caramel liner for definition.
  • Pick nudes with peachy or caramel undertones rather than pink-beige.
  • Pair your lipstick with a warm blush for a cohesive look.

Go easy on: Icy pinks, blue-based berries and frosty shades can clash with warm undertones and look harsh.
