How to choose the perfect lipstick shade: an interesting trick

Choosing a nude lipstick color that perfectly matches your skin tone can be a challenge. That's why there are a lot of life hacks that help you choose a color that would fit perfectly into your daily makeup routine.

Beauty influencer Mireya Rios shared one of them on her TikTok. According to her, it was used back in the 1950s and hasn't lost its relevance.

All you need is your finger. Squeeze it until your fingertip is red from blood pressure. When it darkens, you will get exactly the same color as your lips. Now hold your clenched finger up to the lipstick display and choose the one that matches your fingertip. This is your ideal shade.

However, keep in mind that this life hack will only work really well if you have fair skin. Your finger will turn the perfect color almost immediately, and the shade will be really accurate. The darker your skin is naturally, the longer you have to squeeze your finger to get the right color. Moreover, people with darker skin color may have two shades of lips that blend seamlessly into each other. In this case, the life hack will work, but it's not a sure thing that you'll get the best shade for you. Then you will hardly do without testing lipstick on your lips.
