The Best Bright Lipsticks for Your Skin Tone
March 12, 2020
Bright lipsticks work on any skin tone, but there are certain shades that flatter some complexions better than others. For example, if you have fair skin with cool undertones, bright reds and pinks are great choices, while striking magentas and oranges look gorgeous on deep-toned skin.
Ahead, we’re breaking down the best bright lipsticks for every skin tone. And the best part? You can find them all at drugstore prices.
NYX Professional Makeup Shout Loud Lipstick in Day Club
Fair skin really pops when paired with an orange-red lipstick like this one, called Day Club, from NYX. This pigmented lipstick builds up to a coral so vibrant, it will instantly brighten your complexion.
Colourpop Blur Lux Lipstick in Superbloom
Another striking shade on fair skin is hot pink, of course. Superbloom is perfect because it has a pink-red undertone that will cancel out any yellow undertones and make your light complexion stand out.
NYX Professional Makeup Dazed + Diffused Blurring Lipstick in En Fuego
Medium skin tones, especially olive complexions, look stunning in a red-orange lip. Blur it out onto your pout for the ultimate blood orange look.

Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick in Fuschia Fever
Deep skin tones look absolutely striking with a bright fuschia lip — and if you haven’t tried Fuschia Fever yet, you must. This formula has a pink and blue undertone that will bring out the coolness of your undertones in a stunning way.
