💄 Lipstick Colors for Warm Undertones: The Ultimate 2025 Guide

When choosing lipstick, picking the right shade is not just about what you like. It’s also about knowing your undertones. If you’ve ever noticed that some colors make your skin glow, while others make you look dull, your undertone is probably the reason.

In this 2025 guide, we will show you how to tell if you have warm undertones. We will also share the best lipstick colors to enhance your natural glow. Whether you’re shopping for an everyday nude or a bold statement red, you’ll find PEXORA-approved picks and pro tips to match.

How to Tell If You Have Warm Undertones

  • Vein Test: Look at the veins on your inner wrist. Greenish veins typically indicate warm undertones.
  • Jewelry Test: Do you look better in gold jewelry than silver? Gold flatters warm tones best.
  • White Paper Test: Hold a white sheet next to your face in daylight. If your skin appears more yellow or golden, you likely have warm undertones.
