Sure we all have our personal favorites, but lipcolor choices are often hit or miss. On top of that, online shopping for the best lipstick is not always accurate. I’ve seen many lipstick drawers and makeup bags stuffed with multiples of the absolute worst lipstick choices.
As a Hollywood makeup artist for stars and models for years on TV shows, in my own makeup studios and on location for private clients, nearly every client has asked, “What lipstick is best for me?" This question is what inspired my new line of Expert Lipcolor™. Here are my simple beauty tips that consider your features, occasion and image to simplify finding that elusive best lipstick for you.
#1. THE BEST LIPSTICK FOR YOUR FEATURES
The Best Natural Lipstick
Consider a mid-tone matte lipstick topped with a lighter creme or satin lipcolor and/ or a hint of shimmer gloss. The long lasting matte lipstick texture provides a clean wrinkle proof outline and smudgeproof ease. A lighter dab of lipstick color on top gives a pretty texture. A hint of gloss is just so pretty at the center to accentuate a pout.
The Best Lipstick Color For Full Lips:
A berry, cinnamon or deep tone from violet to brick red lipstick
A rich matte lipcolor base, topped with a bit of matching lipstick
Or your natural lipcolor with a sheer touch of gloss for a fresh look
The Best Lipstick Color For Thin Lips:
A soft pink, light coral or peach lipcolor with a plumping lipgloss. Opt for
a matte base in a nude-light tone with soft lipstick color and a shimmery lipgloss

#2. THE BEST LIPSTICK FOR YOUR OCCASION
DAY
think about fun pinks, peaches and corals or classic rich lip colors
OFFICE
consider overhead lighting and wear a warmer, professional medium lipcolor
Indulge petal rose matte lipstick $28 (best weddings and date night color)
WEDDINGS
go light or brighten with a pretty flower lipcolor, avoiding dark lipstick
WEEKENDS
dab on a natural moisturizing lipstick or lipgloss in sheer nude
EVENING
think soft pastel gloss over matte pink lipcolor or a glamour red matte lipstick for long wear
BEACH
try a sheer plum gloss or a berry lip stain
#3. THE BEST LIPSTICK FOR YOUR IMAGE
Consider your overall makeup look when selecting the best lipcolor.
DARK EYE MAKEUP -is balanced with light lipstick.
LIGHT EYE MAKEUP -even with defined eye liner- goes well with rich, bold, deep or red lips.
NEUTRAL SOFT MAKEUP- goes well with bright and medium tone lipcolor.
THE BEST LIPSTICK COLOR FOR OLDER WOMEN- is a color that makes you feel good. What looks best is a pretty smile with a medium lipcolor. Start with a light matte base lipcolor topped with a creme lipstick. The lipstick that often looks best is a bright coral pink. Save the fuschia and red for occasional impact, when wearing white, tan or black.
