PULLING OFF A BOLD LIP THAT COMPLIMENTS YOUR SKIN TONE

{The lip stain I am wearing in this picture is the colour African Violet}

Bold lips are not for everyone but why not try to rock a bold lip that compliments your skin tone instead? Don't think that a bold lip has to be hot pink or bright purple because let's face it, not everyone can pull those bold lip colours off.

The following lip colours below are a guide that are targeted specificity towards different skin tones but at the end of the day, there is no specific rule, you wear whatever lip shade you want to wear.

If you are curious on what bold lip might look best on you, then keep reading. 

VAMP IT UP FAIR/ PORCELAIN SKIN

A dark cherry red looks amazing on fair skin and it gives an overall vampy classic look!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Potion in Savage Garden

BRIGHT PINK FAIR/ PORCELAIN SKIN 

You can either go with cool pinks or warm pinks. Remember, if you are going with a cool pink bold lip make sure your blush is cool pink as well just as if you were wearing a warm pink bold lip you will want to wear a warm pink blush. You want the blush and the bold lip to be in the same colour family so that both have the same undertones.

I hope you will all venture out and try one of these lip shades for yourself. It is a good way to venture out and wear a bold lip that compliments your skin tone specifically to break yourself into all of the boldness. When you get brave and daring enough, try wearing what ever bold lip colour you want and then rock it girl!
