Choosing your BEST lipstick shades (It's all in the small details!)

These videos aren't long enough for me. I can never get enough of your thoughts/ideas! 😉

This is perfect! I have bought so many lipsticks that didn’t work on me, looking forward to finding a better match! I think your tip to go a shade darker will fix it! So helpful as I’m also fairly neutral and strong colors don’t look good on me.

Great advice. Thank you for putting your lips through this for us 😂 It is quite a process finding the right shade of lipstick. I've spent more money that I needed to in trying to find the right shade, so now I do what you said at the end of the video; I mix and match lipsticks. That truly works.

Yes!!!!! Plzzzz more on olive skintones!!! Being a muted desaturated olive is sooo tricky 😢

I agree with everything you've said on this video. I've hated how crazy late 2000s were with washed out nude/concealer lips and then the phase from 2012-2016, with chunky bold lips. Thank you so much for your tips Jenn :) Your tips makes one look elegant & timeless.

You look so pretty in both the the bright red and softer red! They actually made your lovely brown eyes pop ❤

100% share your experience with needing to go a bit darker than is "perfect" - seasonal palette does play into contrast as well, and that really shows

As weird as this may sound, that "match the shade to your nipple color" trick worked wonders for me, so I don't keep buying lip colors that look bad on me.

This is the video I needed!!! Appreciate you sacrificing your lips to show us.❤😘💋💄

You look great with lipstick 💄🤍

I've always combined lip shades to create a "custom" colour. I rarely wear just one!

This is great! I have to say it's not easy finding shades that work for my Indian olive skin tone. Going to use these tricks. I could empathize with your raw feeling lips and was wincing along!

This was great thank you. I often find my lipstick needs some type of grounding so I play with lip liner to do this, it lasts better on me too.

Your videos are magic! I can relate to them so often! ❤ Choosing darker shade than you'd initially think for the olive is so true! I'm a very fair olive, but it has always been the case for me. I donated a number of nice mac lipsticks to my sister because of how many times I used to buy them only to discover the shade was too pale on me. Same colors on my bestie (fair but non olive) look dramatic and even too dark. I wish I realized this thing earlier and only purchased deep colors. Aslo, red shades tend to look more cool on me than expected. Probably because my lips are kinda blue-ish. Basically true red turns into raspberry so I have to opt into brick red to balance out this effect. Once I ordered Maybelline 'pioneer' and it looked almost magenta on my lips xd Maybe I shoud try to apply a foundation first to conceal the natural lips color? And the closest to 'nude' that works for me is Mac's 'over the taupe', which is decently dark.

brilliant! this is the video we all needed but didn't know we did. ( not sure I got the quote right but I'm sure you know what I mean)😂 love you and love your content ❤❤

This is SO helpful. Love seeing all the examples! I am very fair with neutral/warm, kind of desaturated skin. Not olive but I really relate to the need for softer (and in my case more desaturated) lipsticks, as well as neutral warm/neutral/cool lips. I often adjust the color with a lipliner. I also cannot with light beige lips - they look like a bandaid on me…for folks who need a softer lip, merit satin lipsticks have a great shade range and can be blotted down for a more desaturated look.

This is brilliant and so helpful, I have learnt lots. It’s so tricky to fine tune but I like the idea of choosing these 3 looks to concentrate on first and I now know what to look for 🤩Thankyou

Another great vid

Nude lips are so tricky! I feel like everything is too warm and beigey. I've pretty much given up on nude and use a dusty rose as my "nude" instead (I guess that would be my MLBB shade🤷‍♀️). Although, red is still my go to color.

Thank u for the video! Have u seen Kackies video using "color math" with skin tone and choosing the right red lipstick? It was mind blowing how "non red" lipsticks from the bullet translated as red on her lips.
