There's a place and time for lipstick shades. Some make it more appropriate to tone down your pout's hue, while others warrant you to amp it up with something bright. Below, we share the foolproof guide you can rely on for every occasion.
Occasion: A Day at the Office
Wear: Nude or Dusty Rose
The office is a conservative place, so bold lip colors may appear unprofessional and loud. Choose lip colors that are close to your lips’ natural hue. You can swipe on a dusty rose (the universally-flattering shade across all skin tones) or nude lipsticks to get your boss' approval.
