Why Are These Lipsticks Best For Medium Skin?
Medium skin tones have a wide range of undertones and depth. Susan, pictured here has neutral undertones and is on the lighter end of the medium skin tone spectrum. If your skin tone (and hair color) are similar to Susan’s, keep reading to learn the best lipsticks for your medium skin!
Medium neutral skin tones can easily look great in a variety of colors – congrats! So, to choose the best lipsticks to start with for your makeup bag, focus on your hair, eyes, and base lip color and maybe not as much about your skin…though it should still be considered. Start with buying a peachy-tan nude, a rosy shade, and a buildable berry.
When choosing lipsticks for someone with a similar look as Susan, pictured here, we’re really focused on enhancing features. Such as eyes, hair, base lip color, and skin color. The great thing about these lipstick shades is she’ll be able to wear them as her features change over time. Maybe with only slight adjustments to how bold the colors are worn. As the lips fade, or the hair goes grey – wear these shades with more intensity.
Now, let’s talk base lip color, which is the color your lips are with nothing on them. This is important because our lipsticks are designed to blend WITH your natural lip color not completely cover it up. So, these lipsticks will look different on someone who has a brown or pink base lip color, and may not be our first choices.
Susan’s base lip color is a light purple so any lipstick she chooses may have a slight purple look to it. Knowing your base lip color allows you to find lipstick shades that are just a shade deeper for a “my-lips-but-better” look – the perfect everyday lipstick for looking pulled together without any effort. That will be your timeless, classic, everyday shade. .

You might be wondering what other makeup will look amazing on your medium skin. Below, you’ll find lip pencils that will pair perfectly with the best lipsticks for you, that we talked about above. We also included some glosses that would look AMAZING with those lipsticks but also beautiful worn alone. Blush is one of our favorite products, because it brings your face to life – and the shade M’Lady, is by far the best blush for medium skin! You could also get away with Gotta Glow (peachy pink universally flattering blush) or Tango (true matte peach – if you lean more toward an olive skin tone). Either way, your makeup bag will not be complete without blush – and we highly recommend a matte muted mauve blush shade, M’Lady.
