Lip color
If you’ve ever borrowed a friend’s lipstick and wondered why it looks great on them but terrible on you, it’s probably because you have different skin undertones. Like the color wheel, skin tones run from cool to warm to a mixture of the two (neutral). The best lip colors for you are the ones that fall into the same category on the color wheel. Makeup that matches your undertone looks seamless and natural, while makeup that is the opposite creates a bolder look. Once you’ve found your color, pick a finish based on your desired look or occasion.
Finding Your Lip Color Match
A lot of shine or none, turn to Hy-Vee for the lip look you want.
LIP FINISH
SHEER
This formula adds fresh color with a subtle shine. Sheer lipstick is great for everyday wear and tends to be higher in oil content, so it’s less likely to dry out.
CREAM
These glide on easily and provide a balance of texture with a hint of gloss. Cream formulas have more wax in them, giving them longer staying power.
GLOSS
Eye-catching and shiny, glosses provide ample hydration and a lightweight wear. They also add a youthful glow to both daytime and nighttime looks.
MATTE
In contrast to a gloss, matte lip colors are totally shine-free and are smooth and velvety with an even texture. Use this formula any time of the year.
STAIN
Like matte finishes, stains are all about high-impact, vibrant color with minimal shine. They’re also long-lasting to withstand long days or late nights.
