Fair/Light Skin Tones: If you've ever used the word “pale” or “light” to describe your skin tone, look for pink lipsticks that are either more crisp in pigment or soft and sheer. When it comes to color, choose a peachy pink shade — this will help neutralize your reddish undertones. Other options are petal pink shades with rose or lilac tints. Recommended lipstick include Maybelline Color Sensation High Shine in Pink Freeze (Available in selected Watsons or Guardian stores in Singapore).
Medium Skin Tones: Lucky ladies — if you have a medium, olive-based skin tone, you can pull off most shades of pink. Just avoid pink lipsticks with BLUE undertones that tend to wash you out. Instead, opt for a luscious watermelon shade or a nude pink for a more natural look. Also, you can never go wrong with deep pinks that have hints of caramel and brown. Recommended lipstick include Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine in Pink Devotion and L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick in Ballerina Shoes (Available in YSL stores in iON Orchard Level B1, near MRT in Singapore, and L’Oréal cosmetics in selected Watsons store in Singapore).
Deep Skin Tones: Bright and bold pinks perfectly complement darker skin tones. If you're feeling daring, look for shades in the magenta family that stray towards fuchsia. For a more toned down look, try a lighter, purple-toned pink. Just avoid any ashy, neutral pinks as they will wash you out. Recommended lipstick include Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lévres Glossy Stain and NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Carthage (Available in YSL stores in iON Orchard Level B1, near MRT in Singapore, and NARS counter in TANGS Orchard).
After choosing your lipstick colour, is time to apply onto your lips!!!
Ever thought of waking up late and you do not have enough time to put on a proper makeup??? Or thinking that it is not important to put lipstick and that's why you never buy a lipstick before??? Here's how you can change your mind and put on that "Pretty in Pink" lipstick which you are looking for.

STEP 1: Pick Your Shade
To get the most fullness lips, choose bold and bright pinks, plums, reds and oranges colors. For a more subtle look, nudes work well too but I would recommend avoiding dark colors in the brown tones as those tend to create the illusion of thinner lips.
STEP 2: Line Lips at an Angle
Start with a lip liner that is a shade darker than your lipstick and line your lips starting at the very edge and shade inward towards the center. Here’s the trick: angle the lip liner flat on the lip with the tip of the liner pointing outward. This will also fill in part of your lip with color, which creates an ombre effect. If you hold the lip liner on its point, the line will be too harsh.
STEP 3: Fill Using Lipstick
After lining, generously apply your lipstick. Preferably a creamy formula because it gives the lip a smooth, soft look. You should be able to see a gentle cascade of shading from your lip liner to the lipstick color.
STEP 4: Dab Lip Gloss
Finally, dab clear gloss on the pout of the lip (the center where your lips meet) and press them together for a quick blend.
STEP 5: Conceal Around Lips
To give that extra lushness, complete the lip with a little concealer around the outside of the lip line to make the shape of the lip pop. This technique works with all lip colors from the softest of nudes to the brightest bolds.
