Matching Lipstick With Nail Polish

It looks wonderful when head to toe everything is well coordinated and is of the same color including the makeup. In this effort, many women match nail polish to their lipstick as well. But this looks great only when the colors go well with the skin tone and the style of dressing. If not it would look absurd.

Here are few ideas on colors that would with different skin tones and how the nail polish could be matched with lipstick shades.

Those who possess fair skin should go in for rosy pink, sheers and light pastels shades like blue and lavender. Those with ethnic skin are bound to look good in deeper shades like red and orange. When people with darker skin wear gold, purple and other dark shade they look great. For the lips plum and rich browns would be the ideal ones.

The personal style also matters while choosing nail polish and lipstick colors. Bright colors like hot pink lipstick and sunny yellow nail polish attract attention.  Those who don’t like attention on themselves should never use these. Similarly, those who want to stand out in the crowd should not spot subtle colors like nude polish or sheer lip gloss.

Seasons also play a vital role in choosing nail color and lipstick shades. Some colors give a warm feeling while others keep the body cool. During fall, gold, sandy brown and plum polishes and lipstick should be great. For the harvest time, all warm shades would work well. These shades would go well with most colors. So nail polish and lipstick need not match. For autumn, clothes could be made of leather, wools and tweeds. Anything crisp looks well in fall.

For the winters, dark striking colors would go well to lift up the mood. Colors like mulberry, cranberry or deep reds raise the spirits. The lipsticks and nail polish could be very bold and would need very accessory to support it. As it would be cold in winter, wearing velvet, cashmere sweater, corduroys would be cozy but remember to wear them in the colors that would go with the season.

For the summers light colors like corals, fuchsias and blues and yellows would be pleasant. To give a shine to lips glosses of bright pinks, reds and grapes could be used. In summer the rule is to choose light colors like peaches, pinks and corals as they would keep the body cool with the mercury continuously rising. Those who want to stand out in the crowd could opt for baby blur or lavender nail polish with nude or light purple and pink color lip gloss.

In the summers, even at work place, there is not much emphasis on being formal. So women can wear bright color lipstick and nail polish. Glitters and sparkles could be added on a night out or on holidays.

The nude polish or French manicures go with every season and give a sophisticated and delicate look.
