“I always recommend seeking the advice of a makeup professional to determine the undertones of one’s skin,” Arlt tells StyleCaster. However, those born with pale skin don’t have to fret about finding a MAC lipstick that flatters their lighter tone, as the brand has a variety of shades that will help your skin pop instantly.īut if you aren’t sure how to find your perfect lipstick match, MAC Director of Makeup Artistry, Gregory Arlt, recommends starting by looking at your skin tone in order to find that come-hither shade. The same problem also applies to nude lipsticks, as some barely-there shades can make it look like a thick layer of concealer is caked on your lips, which is always pretty off-putting. Selecting the right lipstick shades for fair skin can be a bit challenging, especially since some burgundy and red tones can look a bit overpowering on porcelain and ivory skin.
