Finding the perfect lipstick shade is like finding the perfect accessory—when it's right, it elevates your entire look. A well-chosen lip color complements your skin tone, enhances your natural beauty, and gives you confidence to take on the day. With Revlon Super Lustrous Ultra Lipstick offering 10 stunning shades across two curated collections, there's a perfect match waiting for everyone.
Understanding Your Undertone
The first step to finding your perfect lip shade is understanding your skin's undertone. Your undertone is the subtle hue beneath your skin's surface, and it determines which lip colours will look most flattering on you.
Cool Undertones
Pink, red, or bluish hues. Veins appear blue or purple. Silver jewellery looks best on you. Try: Rosewood, Cosmos, Blackberry.
Warm Undertones
Yellow, golden, or peachy hues. Veins appear green. Gold jewellery looks best on you. Try: Sunkissed, Heatwave, Sedona.
Neutral Undertones
A mix of both warm and cool. Both silver and gold jewellery look equally flattering. Try: Cashmere, Tulip, Bermuda.
The Undertone Test Methods
1. The Vein Test
Look at the veins on your inner wrist in natural light:
- Blue or purple veins = Cool undertone → deep berries and roses flatter you
- Green veins = Warm undertone → warm nudes and fiery reds are your friends
- Mix of blue and green = Neutral undertone → you can rock almost any shade
2. The Jewellery Test
Think about which metal looks best against your skin:
- Silver flatters you more = Cool undertone → try Cosmos or Blackberry
- Gold flatters you more = Warm undertone → try Sunkissed or Fireside
- Both look equally good = Neutral undertone → try Cashmere or Bermuda
3. The White Paper Test
Hold a piece of pure white paper next to your bare face. How does your skin look in comparison?
- Pinkish or rosy = Cool undertone
- Yellowish or golden = Warm undertone
- Grey or ashen, no strong pull either way = Neutral undertone
Pro Tip
Do all these tests in natural daylight for the most accurate results. Artificial lighting can skew your perception of your skin's true undertone—and always swatch lipstick on your actual lips, not the back of your hand.
