Best Lipsticks For Blondes With Cool Light Skin | Red Apple Lipstick
If you have light skin with a cool undertone it is easy for your face to look a little washed out, while overly bright or bold lipsticks can overpower your features. The sweet spot is a wardrobe of flattering cool leaning pinks that enhance your natural coloring.
For blondes with cool, light skin like Brigette, your makeup bag feels complete when you have three go to options: a soft rosy pink, a deeper everyday pink, and a fun pinky coral for bolder days. These three Red Apple Lipstick shades check every box.

Why These Lipsticks Work For Blondes With Cool Skin
When choosing lipsticks for someone who looks similar to Brigette, the goal is to enhance, not overpower. Cool, light skin and blonde hair already create a lot of softness, so color needs to add definition without feeling too harsh or too bright.
The beautiful thing about these three shades is that Brigette can wear them now and as her features change over time, simply by adjusting how boldly she applies them. Light layers feel soft and fresh, while building the color turns them into statement lips.
How Your Base Lip Color Affects Lipstick
Your base lip color is the shade of your lips with nothing on them. It matters because Red Apple Lipstick formulas are designed to blend with your natural lip color instead of completely covering it. The result is a custom looking shade that still feels like you.
These particular lipsticks were chosen with a light pink base lip color in mind. On someone with a brown or purple base lip color they will still be pretty, but they will look very different and might not be the first choices we recommend.
Brigette’s base lip color is light pink and slightly different from her face skin tone. When you know your base lip color, you can pick lipsticks that are just a shade or two deeper for a “my lips but better” effect. That is your low effort, go to everyday lipstick that keeps you looking pulled together.
Quick base lip checklist
- If your bare lips are pink, these shades are a great starting point.
- If your lips are more brown or mauve, expect these colors to look deeper and slightly different.
- For a soft everyday look, stay just one or two steps deeper than your natural lip color.
Meet Your 3 Best Pink Lipsticks
Here are the three lipsticks that flatter blondes with cool, light skin and a pink base lip color. Tap a card to see each shade, ingredients and reviews on the Red Apple Lipstick site.
Unpinkable - Bold Power Pink
This fuchsia leaning pink is a great choice for a bolder lip color on cool, light skin. To keep it from overpowering your complexion, apply in light layers and build slowly. Using a lip brush gives you precise control over how bold you want to go. Brigette is pictured wearing this shade in the original shoot.
Unpinkable is very pigmented, smooth and creamy with no shimmer. It has a teeny bit of red in it, which keeps it lively and flattering. This lipstick is a warm color with cool undertones, so it looks beautiful on a wide variety of skin tones, not just blondes.
Mabel - Everyday Perfect Pink
This muted rosy pink is perfect if your base lip color is light pink. The effect is simple yet elegant. There is no shimmer, just a subtle shine that settles to a soft satin finish so it always feels appropriate and polished.
With its hint of mauve and cool undertones, this pink lipstick is the everyday shade you have been looking for. It is not too dark or too light, so it hits that perfect in between spot for this skin tone, hair color and base lip color.
Brazilliant - Gorgeous Lipstick For Blondes
At first glance, Brazilliant might not be your automatic pick when you are looking at lipstick colors for cool skin, but trust that it looks amazing. This pink with a slight tangerine undertone adds a hint of warmth to your complexion and pairs beautifully with blonde hair.
Brazilliant has a gorgeous shimmer and is very easy to wear. The color blends with your base lip shade in interesting ways. On darker lips it turns more iridescent, on medium brown lips it becomes a very light pink that looks super natural, and on pink lips the color deepens into a richer pink. Either way it is a fun choice for something a little different.

You might be wondering what other makeup will look amazing with your blonde hair and cool skin. The same principles apply. Softly tinted lip pencils help your lip color last and keep the edges defined without feeling harsh. Certain glosses layer beautifully over these lipsticks or look lovely worn alone.
Blush is one of the most important products for this coloring because it brings your face to life. Dolly, a matte baby pink, is a favorite blush shade for cool, light skin. You can also reach for Gotta Glow, a peachy pink that is very flattering on many complexions. Either way, your makeup bag will not feel complete without a flattering, cool friendly blush.

FAQs
How do I know if these shades will suit my skin tone

Can I wear these lipsticks if I am not blonde
Yes. The key is your undertone and base lip color. Anyone with a pink leaning base lip color and cooler skin tone can wear these shades, although they may look a bit different compared with how they appear on Brigette.
Do I need a lip liner with these pink lipsticks
You do not have to use one, but a soft lip liner can help define your shape, prevent feathering and slightly adjust the depth of the color for everyday wear.
Will these formulas dry out my lips
No. Red Apple Lipstick formulas are crafted to feel creamy and moisturizing, with skin loving ingredients and without many common irritants, so they are a great option for sensitive lips.
What is the easiest everyday option if I am brand new to lipstick
Mabel is a beautiful starting point for cool, light skin with a pink base lip color. It gives definition and polish without feeling bold, and you can always layer Unpinkable or Brazilliant on days you want more color.
