One of the latest trends have been gracing the faces of many and become the latest part time and for me my new addiction is the love for lipstick. From one of the earlier posts about the WINGED EYED (written by Robyn Dennis), you cant say your Makeup of the day is complete without a pop of colour which has started with the lips.

But like many of us the perfect colour is always hard to choose for the simple reason you may love the colour but the colour may not be the right colour for your skin tone which is a common issue that all ladies have, trust me I have had this battle for a while.
Here is the most tricky part with Lipstick/Lipcolour, but I am here to answer your question (WHAT IS THE BEST COLOUR FOR ME?) and settle the confusion. I find the most tragic thing that has happened to me is the fact I may love a colour and ask for many opinions and you buy the colour and end up regretting the choice.
Here is a colour chart that will help you choose the perfect colour for you and I suggest you study this chart just to make sure you have the best colour to make that look just pop.

I wish I had this when my Lipcolour obsession started it began to make sense of a lot of things, sometimes the trail and error works. but this scale will be the best way to work and ease the pain of burning the budget. One of the easiest range that all makeup brands have is the basic nudes.
Universal Lip Colour a.k.a Nudes
Universal Lip Colour, One of those easy and simple colours that can be used for that lazy not over the top makeup, I swear by it for the basic reason that when you working sometimes you want to look effortless and fresh for the day. Its still not the easiest decision to make because you may have a lighter nude color and its happened to me before which just makes the makeup look seem abit forced.

The Nude Collection by Essence Cosmetics was one of the best collections that have made its way to the public, especialy with it being the new MUST HAVE colour. Essence Nude Range is easily available to you.
Found at Commerical shop like Clicks,Dischem, Redsquare online(Edgars: Cosmetic Shops) but if you are an online shopper and sometimes do not like to go and face the Queues you can always head to online shops like: spree, redsquare online,essence online..etc. Essence prices ranges from R 39.99 to R 44.00
I am not saying that the Essence Nude range is not the only range that you can invest in but sometimes you dont need to break the bank to get the best look for you.
The Perfect Look: The Nudes will work for the best of the best easy and laidback makeup looks for anyday.
Trending Lip Colours
Sometimes you want to be on point with the fashion and I know the what the celebrities are rocking on the red carpet so I have made a list of colours that have made everybody budget for the next makeup haul:

Best for the looks for the statement look it also allows for the look to be pulled together, the more dramatic the lip the more amazing the outfit.
Red More classic makeup look many people associate the red lip for a more modern look.
Pink More girly and happy look it allows for ebery on eot see the proper look for girls.
Purple For the more edgy girls as it gives off a more mysterious look for the ones that will admiring the look.
TIP:
The Darker you go the more dramatic the look becomes, its simple as that. depending your perfect colour that matches your skintone, the shade of the colour will be your deciding factor on the particular look. Do not forgot about the NUDES as it always help when you get abit indecisive with the lipcolour choice.
