My go to lipstick

Hey everyone! So, you’ve seen my go-to lipstick in action, and maybe you're curious about finding your own perfect shade, especially if you're eyeing a gorgeous violette like mine. It's not always about just picking a color you like; sometimes, it’s about understanding your skin's unique undertone – that subtle hue beneath the surface that makes all the difference! I used to struggle with this, thinking certain shades just 'weren't for me,' until I cracked the undertone code. First off, what is an undertone? It's not your skin tone (light, medium, dark), but rather the color that comes through from underneath. There are three main types: Cool Undertones: If your veins look blue or purple, silver jewelry suits you best, and you tend to burn easily in the sun. Think pink, red, or blue hues in your skin. Warm Undertones: If your veins appear green, gold jewelry complements you more, and you tan easily. You likely have yellow, peach, or golden tones in your skin. Neutral Undertones: You’re a lucky one! Your veins might look both blue and green, both gold and silver jewelry look good on you, and you might tan and burn. Your skin has a mix of warm and cool tones. So, how does this relate to picking my favorite violette lippie – or any vibrant shade, for that matter? Here’s my personal take: For Cool Undertones, blue-based purples, true violets, deep plums, and even some cool mauves absolutely sing on your skin. They enhance your natural coolness and can make your complexion look brighter. My specific violette shade (which I often call my 'MSV' moment because it's just so me) has a beautiful cool base that just pops against my skin. If you have cool undertones, don’t shy away from those bold, icy purples! If you have Warm Undertones, don't think violette shades are off-limits! You just need to look for warmer purples. Think berry tones, plum shades with a hint of red, or even mauves that lean a bit brown or rosy. These will complement your golden glow rather than clashing. You want a violette that feels rich and vibrant, not one that makes your skin look sallow. And for my Neutral Undertone friends? You have the best of both worlds! You can rock almost any violette shade, from cool, electric purples to warmer berry tones. It really comes down to your personal preference and what mood you're going for. Experimentation is key for you! I remember trying on so many lipsticks before I understood my undertone. Some purples looked amazing, others just... didn't. Once I figured out I lean cool, my entire lipstick game changed. I started gravitating towards shades like this violette, and suddenly, they weren't just 'pretty colors,' they were 'my perfect colors.' It’s like finding the missing piece of a puzzle! My advice? Don’t be afraid to swatch! Try shades on your fingertip (it’s closer to your lip color) or even directly on your lips if you're at a store. Pay attention to how the color interacts with your overall complexion, not just the shade itself. My current favorite, the 'VIOLETTE' shade, truly feels like it was made for my skin. It’s all about empowering yourself with knowledge to make those makeup choices confidently. Happy lippie hunting!
