Does brown lipstick look good on pale skin?
Brown lipstick can look great on pale skin, its all about finding the perfect one to suit you. There are a few things to consider when choosing the right shade of brown for your skin tone.
First of all, how intense do you want the lipstick to be and are you looking for something more natural or something bolder?
Both can suit a paler skin tone. For example, if we are looking for a brown lipstick that is for everyday wear and something that will go with everything you wear then I would recommend our MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick in shade Impulsive, it’s the perfect everyday brown shade! Not only is the formula a comfortable wear but it also conditions and moisturises the lip immediately and over time. The lipstick will give off a soft-focus finish that lasts. It matches perfectly with our MAC Lip Pencil in shade Stripdown. To perfect this everyday lip, use the lip pencil on the outline of the lips and sketch it into the middle of the lip to, this allows the lipstick to have something extra to hold on to so it last longer. Once you have applied the lip pencil to the lip, gently add the lipstick to the whole lip area or if you would rather you can also use our 217s brush to buff on the lipstick this would create a more diffused and sultry look which is perfect for an everyday and evening time look.
PRO TIP:
Use the remaining lipstick that is on your 217s brush to buff onto your eyelid for the perfect quick and easy eye look!
