Finding Your Perfect Gloss Shade for Deep and Medium Skin

Finding Your Perfect Gloss Shade for Deep and Medium Skin

Undertones, finishes and our favorite pairings to flatter every melanin-rich complexion.

Start with your undertone. Look at the veins on your wrist: greener veins usually mean warm undertones, bluer veins mean cool.

Warm undertones glow in caramel, honey and berry-brown shades — try Caramel Kiss or Honey Dew.

Cool undertones pop in magenta, plum and berry — Pink Pop and Midnight Berry are made for you.

Line first. A lip liner a shade deeper than your natural lip makes any gloss look fuller and more polished.
