Setting the tone: The perfect lipstick for fair / light skin
When you buy a lipstick, the choice of color is always based on the basic tone of your skin. That means: light complexions go well with light lipsticks, dark skin with strong tones. However, this is only a guideline. Of course, you can still wear dark colors if you have light skin. This can look great, especially in autumn and winter. Always trust your own feelings when you ask yourself: which lipstick suits me?
Pastel colors
If you’re looking for a lipstick for fair skin, you generally can’t go wrong with pastel shades. Soft pink and peach tones make for a subtle color. However, you should always make sure that the lipstick fits into the overall picture. So it should harmonize with your complexion, your hair and your make-up. Plus, you can’t go wrong with a rosewood shade that mimics your own lip color!
It’s all a question of type
There are two different skin types: cold and warm. And you should choose your lipstick color accordingly. If your veins on the inside of the wrist look rather bluish, then you are a cold type. With warm types the veins appear in the light greenish. So, perfect for cool skin types are cool colors. And for warm the other way around – so warm tones.
Nude tones for light skin

In general, you can wear all colors that have a slight pink or pink tint well. Colors like mauve and mocha are also very popular this season and belong in every make-up bag. Even if you are a light skin type. Because these tones go with just about any makeup and any light complexion.
