Lipstick Colors for Brown Skin: The Ultimate 2025 Guide

 

Introduction

 

Finding the perfect lipstick shade that complements brown skin can be transformative. With the diverse range of undertones and rich hues, brown skin offers a versatile canvas for various lipstick colors. This guide delves into the best lipstick shades suited for brown skin, ensuring you find your ideal match.

 

 

Understanding Undertones

 

Before selecting a lipstick, it’s crucial to identify your skin’s undertone:

 

Warm Undertones: Golden, yellow, or peach hues.

Cool Undertones: Pink, red, or blue hues.

Neutral Undertones: A balance between warm and cool.

 

To determine your undertone, observe the veins on your wrist:

 

Green veins suggest warm undertones.

Blue or purple veins indicate cool undertones.

A mix of both implies neutral undertones.
