†œWhen I get a chance not to worry about it, I don’t wear very much make-up at all. Sometimes I just get my eyelashes tinted and wear moisturiser,† she told UK magazine Glamour.There’s no magic involved in her choice of lipstick shades though. It’s down to the science of what suits her fair complexion. So regardless of your skin tone here’s some easy steps to steal her faultless style and pair the perfect lipstick to your pout.
Selecting the best lipstick shades for skin tones
First identify whether you have fair, olive or dark skin. Then, decide if your face emits †˜warm’ or †˜cool’ undertones. It can combine both which is referred to as neutral.- You can do this by looking at the veins on your wrist. If they appear blue or purple you’ve got cool-toned skin. If they’re green you’re warm-toned.
- If you are still unsure, try on gold and silver jewellery and see which looks better on your skin. Cooler (pink) tones complement silver trinkets whereas warm (yellow) skin tones work well with gold.
- Do you burn or tan? Those of us who burn easily or turn pink tend to be cool-toned. If you tan you’re likely to be warm-toned.

- Buff the lips prior to lippy application with a clean, soft, slightly dampened tooth brush to slough away any dead skin and create a smooth canvas.
- For a bit more depth and pigment, apply one layer of lippy, blot with a tissue, and then apply another layer. Repeat. Feel ready for battle.
- Apply the pigment straight from the bullet rather than using a brush for bolder colour that still has a soft definition.
- To make your lippy last longer dab on some concealer to the lips which will also help give lipstick a base to grip to and allow for a creamier finish.
- Apply the colour with your index finger and tap into the lip to blend for a soft, natural-looking pout.
