5 Best Lipstick Colors for Women With a Brown Skin Complexion

If you are a woman with a brown or dark skin complexion, it may be hard to find the perfect lipstick color that fits you. I have listed 5 shades that will assist you in this selection process, but ultimately, it comes down to your preference and what kind of look you are going for.

1.     You can’t go wrong with a bold red lip!

• A red lip looks amazing on dark skin. You can go with a ruby red or a bright red; it doesn’t matter!

2.     Feeling funky? Go purple.

• Purple might not be the first color you think of when choosing a lip color, but it is definitely a choice you wont regret. It has been said that it is the top choice for dark complexions.

3.     Light pink!

• Going for a light pink is the perfect way for girls with dark skin complexion to enhance their lips! It gives your lips a pop while also making them seem poutier.

4.     Yes… Brown Lipstick

• You might be thinking, “Is it even going to show up?” The answer is yes! It compliments your skin nicely and it is the perfect shade when going for a simple, nude look.

5.     You can’t forget an orange color!

• Orange can be tricky to find the right shade for. You don’t want an orange that’s too neon that you can only wear with certain outfits in the summer. You don’t want an orange shade that says “Halloween.” The shade of orange that I picked out is the perfect color that adds just a hint of color on your lips.
