Color lipstick for blondes
The color of lipstick for women with blond hair depends on various factors. One is the shade of the hair, the other is the skin tone, the natural color of the lips and eyes plays an important role. Also important are the image, clothing, mood. Not all blondes know what colors suit them, how to emphasize their appearance.
Which one is suitable?
First, it is necessary to determine the fact that there is no blondes. These are various shades of purple, plum, red-brown. These shades are, firstly, really difficult to use in real life, and secondly, they can unpleasantly shade hair color and make the face look more tired.
Red
Bright red / true red will suit owners of any color of eyes, hair and skin tone. Especially he goes to blondes with a light tone of skin, hair and eyes. It is this shade that Taylor Swift often paints, and it is her makeup that you can take as an example. Remember - using such a bright lipstick, you should not paint your eyes as intensely. Classic arrows or mascara will be enough.
Dark red "merlot". Merlot is perfect for owners of perfect skin. This is the only dark red shade that blondes can use at all. However, it requires a perfectly even skin tone and a clearly traced contour. It cannot be used on thin lips, as it will make them visually even smaller. This is the perfect lip color for the “cold season”.
Marsala. The shade on the verge of red and brown, similar to cherry, but with more pronounced notes. In another way it can be called maroon or wine, the color of a good eponymous wine. A rather capricious shade, it is difficult to wear in everyday life. Perhaps, it will not suit the girls of spring and winter color types at all, but the “summer” (all shades of blond, especially ashen) and “autumn” (hair with redhead) can try to “tame” it. As in the case of merlot, Marsala can not be used on thin lips and with dedicated eyes - the arrow and pastel shades of shadows would be ideal.
Bordeaux. Burgundy lipstick is characterized by the same capriciousness that other dark red shades. She needs plump lips, a perfect white smile and a smooth skin tone, as she can emphasize any yellowness and redness. It is in the form of lipstick that this shade is better suited for ceremonial evening events, but during the day it is better to use gloss. This color will look good on both pale-skinned blondes and dark-skinned women, but for simplicity, when choosing, you can rely on the formula “the darker the skin tone, the darker the lipstick should be.” However, it is better to refuse warm maroon-red to completely fair-skinned girls - it only suits dark-skinned women or ladies with light tan.
Pink
Pink, of course, is divided into several shades - from light and delicate to almost crimson. Fortunately, almost every blonde goes.
Puppet pink. It is in this color that the wardrobe of one of the most popular blondes in the world, Barbie, is composed, and it is by this shade of lipstick that her lips are made up by default. Especially this color is popular in spring and summer.
Raspberry and Fuchsia ideal in combination with brown eyes. This combination will make the appearance of the most expressive (especially with purple shades and well-feathered pink blush). Cherry, on the contrary, suits gray-eyed and blue-eyed, because it is able to emphasize such appearance.
The most fashionable shades
Very popular lately brownish pink or pinkand this is due to the tendency of "your lips, only better." Ideal if you want to focus on the eyes, but do not overlook the lips. The color is pale enough for fair-skinned ladies and can visually make them more tired, so it is suitable only for tanned blondes or girls with peach skin. It will look good both in spring and in winter.
Peach coral the best way to refresh any summer makeup. You can use it as without decorated eyes, and as a supplement to the brightest Smokey in your life. Very soft and warm shade, a truly summer trend of the season. That coral or peach can make lips visually plump. These colors are perfect for fair-skinned women.
Beige lipstick should be darker than the natural color of the lips on a half-tone-in golden or caramel scale. So the skin will look visually darker. Such cosmetics are universal and suitable for an evening event with an emphasis on the eyes, and for the morning meeting. She will go to the ladies of any age and at any time of the year.
Quite popular lately Baby pink doll pinkHowever, with this shade it is very important not to overdo it, so as not to create a childlike atmosphere around you.
Bright carrot Now also in the trend, but with him you need to be careful not to overdo it with contrast. You can stay on peach or coral shades, with care in orange.
Scarlet lipstick has long become a classic.
How to choose?
Just take and buy lipstick - that's not all, you need to learn how to properly use such cosmetics. And we are talking not only about the method of application (although this is certainly very important), but also about the correct make-up, carefully selected image. After all, even the most risky blonde will not wear merlot or marsala with sports T-shirts in everyday life.
Yes, the right image plays a crucial role. For example, it is better not to use lipstick at all with sportswear, but with sportswear type (made in a similar style, but not designed for training, more feminine and sophisticated) it is better to use muted peach or coral tones. For the publication, you can choose both bright and nude tones, but beware of puppetry. They will make you frivolous.
Cold shades of lipstick are suitable for pastel images, warmer ones for bright ones. Remember: the darker the lipstick, the more it will reduce your lips, so it is better not to use it for thin lips.
Pearlescent lipsticks are recommended only for young girls and teenagers, since they may not look very appropriate on older women.
Remember that a lot depends on the quality and type of lipstick. Of course, it will be embarrassing if the lipstick after the first glass of water is imprinted on it, disappears after a bun for breakfast, or hair sticks to it due to strong wind (and it’s ok if yours).
If you want a super matte finish, look for liquid matte lipstick. They are capricious in the application, require a clear outline, but they will definitely stay all day. Such lipsticks, as a rule, are water-resistant and are able to survive several snacks (remember that no lipstick can withstand a full meal), they are not imprinted on the glasses and lips of the beloved man. They may disappear slightly from the mucous after eating, and substandard ones can crumble off, so in any case, walk around the store for about twenty to thirty minutes, smearing the probe on your hand, and see how the cosmetic behaves.
Matte lipsticks, liquid or in sticks, are universal - they are suitable both for going to the cinema and for an evening meeting. As the name implies, they do not have shine.
Remember that blond shade also plays a role.If you have bleached or actually bleached hair, stop at copper-pink, peach and coral shades, you can pay attention to the pale red. The ashy shade of hair is ideally underlined by bright dark colors - merlot or marsala, as well as muted, almost natural. Apricot, peach and coral also suit golden hair.
Owners of hair of pink gold color should pay attention to all shades of pink, but to avoid dolls in images. Purple blond can afford coral and peach shades, and blond on the verge of red (strawberry blond) - all nude and coral, light red tones of lipstick.
Makeup examples
The first thing you need to know is that you need to prepare your lips in advance, using a special scrub and moisturizing balm or fatty oil. It is better to do this an hour before applying makeup or in the evening, before applying makeup. A lip scrub will help level their relief, remove horny particles, make the lips visually more plump and juicy, and the moisturizing component (balm or oil) will help retain moisture, fill gaps in the relief and reduce the likelihood of tightness and dryness. After that, it is recommended to use a primer for lipstick - a thin layer of foundation or powder can replace it.
It must be remembered that even complexion makes any makeup more beautiful, even if the focus is on the lips. Use tonal creams, concealer and powder without a twinge of conscience.
With blue eyes
Dark cherry lipsticks are perfect for this eye color. They shade almost transparent blue hues and make blue more expressive. However, they require the perfect tone of the face and are quite capricious, so you have to try:
- The first thing to do is skin. Apply a moisturizer or matting cream / primer under the makeup, wait ten minutes and apply a foundation or powder.
- Scrub the lips and moisten them, apply primer.
- As dark as lipstick, in a soft pencil, circle the contour of the lips, paying particular attention to the corners. Apply around the concealer or another thin layer of foundation.

Once again, carefully circle the outline with lipstick. If your lipstick is liquid, “smack” should not be performed.
- If you want extra gloss, more juicy lips, apply gloss on the cupid's hollow and the center of the lower lip.

Finally, the image will be “made” by the correct blush, matched to the skin color and simply necessary for dark lipstick, and highlighter on the protruding parts of the face.
Green eyes
If you have a rare shade of eyes - green, emphasize it, you can focus on the eyes. It can be olive or golden smokey, golden arrow or bright white pigment. Lips in this case should be restrained - brick, terracotta, beige or nude peach shades will do. Useful recommendations:
- Out of habit, squeeze and moisten lips, use primer. Since this is a makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, the tone can be applied at the very least, so that the shadow or mascara does not crumble on it.
- Take the desired shade of lipstick - beige, brick or peach. If it is a liquid matte texture, be sure to use the balm as a substrate, because they are dried.
- Paint the outline. You can use a soft pencil of a suitable color, but you can not use it - here at will.
- Moving from the edges to the center, fill the lips.

Brown eyes
Brown-eyed ladies can try the ombre lip technique that is popular this year. The essence of the technique lies in the fact that the contour of the lips is painted with a darker shade, and the middle one is lighter. This creates a smooth transition. This makeup is ideal for an evening event, for daytime you can choose not too contrasting colors. Initially, this technique won the hairdressers, and now is used in visage. So, you will need two similar shades (one darker, the other lighter), a soft pencil of a natural shade, lip balm and a brush. The technique is as follows:

With a bright ombra, you should pay attention to the classic arrow or eye makeup using the birdie technique. Cheekbones can be distinguished with blush or bronzer; use a highlighter for publication. Ombre - quite noticeable technique in any case, so the skin tone should also be perfect.
With gray eyes
Gray color itself is quite neutral and can be combined with a large number of colors - from beige to bright cherry. It is exactly gray-eyed blondes that open up a huge amount of makeup, and lipstick selection as well. You will suit many colors and different techniques of applying lipstick. In the case of the desire to increase the lips, you can use a pencil technique, it is this:
- After preparing the lips for applying lipstick, you should take a soft pencil and cut around the lips, protruding 1–1.5 mm beyond the contour. It is important that the primer or tonal fluid is applied only at this stage and does not extend beyond the contour of the “new” lips.
- Then take a dark pencil for the lips and circle the inner contour - the one that is next to the first one. This line should be wide, only the center should remain intact.
- Next, apply lipstick in the color of the contour, in the middle of the lip - gloss.
- This makeup in any case will be quite bright, but suitable for everyday use. Eyes can be decorated with arrows or natural looking eyelashes.
Shades that are best used in the case of gray eyes - cherry and burgundy, dark crimson. An interesting contrast is obtained between the terracotta lips and gray eyes.
Another option is to highlight the contour. It is ideal for everyday summer make-up, as it looks very interesting and fresh, and can also be performed with both neutral and subtle shades. In this case, you can take a pink puppet, because the highlight can make this shade more everyday. Procedure:
- Prepare the lips.
- Draw a pencil, which should be a little lighter than your natural lip color, along the contour. Fill the lips with pink lipstick, leaving about 1–1.5 mm to the contour.
- Be sure to apply a foundation or concealer around the lips, as well as a little highlighter, and with a finger or a brush, mix it into a pencil, moving towards the center of the lips, but making out only the outline. The border of the lips seems to be mixed, but because of the reflective particles does not disappear, but becomes more voluminous, and the lips look larger.
- The technique of lightening by itself cannot make an accent on the lips - because everything is quite natural and natural due to the colors (and it is not used with dark ones). However, this is one of the few options for making orange or hot pink a little more everyday. This is a very gentle make-up version, and you may not be too smart with an emphasis on your eyes - a light blush, a little ink, a highlighter in the right places, and then your image will become fresh and attractive.
