We answer the killer question on the minds of many.

There are many golden beauty rules out there and one question has always been on the mind of many beauty enthusiasts – can I match my lipstick to my dress of the day?

The answer is yes! However we do not recommend going for an exact match lest it looks too overly coordinated. Try finding a lip colour that is a shade darker than your clothes for starters. If you’re having difficulties, try using a stain which will give you that hint of colour without looking as though you’ve tried too much.

When matching your lipstick to your outfit, it is highly important to take note of the lip product’s finish. You do not want a stark matte red lip to be paired with a plain ol’ LBD as it may appear to be one-dimension. Add a pop of colour and texture by choosing a glossy red shade instead.

If you’re not exactly sure how to pair your shade with your outfit, not to fret for we’ve highlighted five ways in the gallery above.
