So I want to start wearing lipstick but almost every one ive put one, not many though, bring out parts of my face I dont like. But my bf likes lipstick and so do I I just don't know how to pick it according to my skin tone. Im italian and kind of tan I guess. please help!
Mix and match till you find the right shade. Remember to avoid dark colours if your wearing dark eyeshadow, liner etc, with your skin tone i suggest sticking to lights, baby pinks, nudes, even really subtle shades can make a difference :)

You can wear anything you want, just have to learn to adjust it to your liking. Lip liners & lip glosses can help with that.
