Finding the Perfect Nude Lip Color... Leads to Knowing What

Your True Color Palette Is.
So... lately I've been obsessed with finding a natural nude lipstick. I went to Sephora and the sales
girl/ "makeup artist" tried to convince me to purchase some peachy/ beige lipsticks that completely
washed me out. It was so laughable! She's standing there telling me how great I look and I'm
looking at myself in the mirror looking horrible and sickly (hahaha)

Of course I pushed back and told her my thoughts and said because of my coloring I really needed
something more pink. This completely counter balanced her comment about how my skin tone is
warm and hence I needed to have a warmer beige/ brown to achieve that nude lip effect. Yes, I'm
Asian and yes I do have need to use powder or foundation with yellow undertones however
pigment colors that look best on me are ones in the cool family. After about 15 mins. of her
handing me crazy ugly colors, I politely told her thank you but all the colors she had chosen were
not for me.

I than went to the MAC store and the first color the sales girl/ make up artist handed me was
perfect! I was called Snob and is more of a pink/purplish based color however on my lips look like
a very natural brownish pink nude. Of course, I'm not saying all MAC workers will nail it every time
so I suggest you prepare yourself before you go into purchase new cosmetics or even new
clothing... just so you don't end up with a sales person like the one I encountered at Sephora
(nodding and smiling yes you look fabulous when all she really wants is the sale).

I know that was a long intro for this but... here are colors that will look great on you depending on
your coloring. Don't know your coloring? I found a great article that will help you find your
coloring... click here, the article is called : SEASON COLOR ANALYSIS: ANALYZE YOURSELF .

Seasonal color analysis categorizes people into one of 4 categories...

1. Winter
2. Summer
3. Autumn, and
4. Spring

The categories are named after the seasons and the colors found together in nature to help you
remember the range of colors they include. Your seasonal color range will complement the
coloring of your skin, hair and eyes.

Winter colors are cool, clear and dark to light intensity. Think of the winter landscape colors. In
the low light of winter colors appear darker, but on a bright day with the sun reflecting off snow
colors appear pale and icy.

Summer colors are also cool, but muted and medium-light to medium-dark in value. Think of
seeing the landscape through a summer heat haze. The colors are muted, paler versions of
Winter’s. The light colors are creamy pastel rather than icy.

Autumn colors are warm, muted and medium-light to medium-dark intensity. Think of fall New
England landscape colors of rich burnt oranges, reds, golden yellows and sludgy greens.

Spring colors are also warm, but clear and bright with medium to light intensity. Think of the bright
clear colors of spring flowers and the new season’s clear, bright green shoots.

Universal colors are colors that everyone can wear.

- Off-white (it looks best on warmer skin tones though)
- Ivory (not cream which is more suited for Autumns)
- Mid-gray
- Stone
- Taupe
- Pewter
- Teal
- Purple
- Emerald Turquoise
- Lavender
