Lipstick

2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth

Proverbs 23:16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

 Many varieties of lipstick exist. As with most other types of makeup. The use of lipstick dates back to ancient times.



It's a struggle for women to find the perfect lipstick because there are so many colors that seem like they could be right for you. And unless you know how to test a lipstick, you can end up with a color that's all wrong.

Figure Out Your Skin's Undertone:
Though 80 percent of women fall into the cool category, don't assume you do. Try this little test to help you find out which color options are right for you: 
Look at the veins on your inner wrists in natural light. If they appear bluish, you have cool undertones. More green? You're warm.
Flattering colors for fair skin are light brown and pinkish beige brighten a pale complexion. I also love candy apple reds on fair complected women. If you have cool undertones, nudes, light mocha, light mauves work nicely.  If you have warm undertones, maybe try a peach.
Universally flattering colors for a medium/olive skin tone are plums and raspberries.  Light brown and dark berry will give you a sun-kissed look.   They will play up pink undertones and create an overall glow. If you have cool undertones, try a rosy pink, pomegranate, cranberry, or brick red.  If You Have Warm Undertones Select a bronze, copper, or cinnamon. All medium skin tones should avoid nudes—they're too close to your natural skin color and have a tendency to leave you looking washed out.  Olive skin tones are a combination of both cool and warm skin tones.  If you fall into this category, you can wear just about any color and or shade.  However, olive skin tones should avoid orange-reds because they give your skin a sallow, I-just-stepped-off-the-spinning-teacups-ride tint.
Dark red with a hint of blue and deep plum illuminate darker skin tones.  Cool undertones go for raisin, wine, and ruby reds.  Warm undertones should look for honey, ginger, or coppers.  



Lip glosses can be worn over a lipstick to create a fun twist.  It is appropriate to apply a sheen over your lip color for events that are a little more casual.  Or for a daytime look you can wear a gloss by itself.
