Personal Colour Guide

 
I am often surprised to find that many of you seem to need guidance on what colours are best to show off your own personal colouring - so here are some general guidance notes!  Albeit as given on the USA werbsite and not so applicapble to UK clients we are finding.BUT at the end of the day it also depends on what you are going to wear, and on what occasion! i.e. when  I was a young thing (!) and into dating, if I wore baby blue I would be wearing soft pink lip colours (I was blonde and blue eyed) but if I felt I needed to make my mark then I might well be wearing red with a similar lip colour.
 
A clever client suggested sending me her current favourite Lip STICK colour to match - and this is a great idea! So just put a good quantity on a piece of tissue and send it to us at Lip Ink UK, Sea View, Dundonnell, IV23 2QZ. As most Lip STICKS are wax based do remember to protect it in the envelope - we do not want to be responsible for damaging someone else's letters do we!

We have other pages giving Colour Advice with many downloads for specific eye colours -
