How to choose the perfect lipstick color: an unusual life hack

Finding the perfect shade of lipstick for everyday makeup is not an easy task. The wrong color can give your face an unhealthy, tired look or make you look noticeably older. But how do you know which lipstick color is perfect for you?

Makeup experts say it's easier than you might think. You don't even have to apply a test swatch to your skin. OBOZ.UA tells you about a trick with your fingers that will help you never make a mistake again and always choose the perfect color.

The next time you are in a store to choose a lipstick, go to the counter with samples and squeeze the tip of your finger to make it bleed. The shade it turns into is your ideal color. Look for a product that matches the color of your fingertip as closely as possible.

And to ensure even coverage and long-lasting color, don't forget to moisturize your lips. Use a lip balm for a few minutes before applying lipstick. Allow it to absorb completely and wipe off the residue with a paper napkin. This way, the lipstick will adhere well to moisturized lips and won't roll or crack. And don't forget about a pencil to create a contour. It will help the lipstick not to spread around the edges.
