Lipstick shade questions
How do I find the right lipstick shade for my skin tone?
Start with your depth (fair, wheatish or dusky) and your undertone (warm, cool or neutral). Warm undertones suit corals, terracotta nudes and warm reds. Cool undertones suit pinks, berries and blue-toned reds. Our lipstick shade finder asks three quick questions and picks Metabu shades by their actual colour.
Which lipstick shade suits Indian skin?
Most Indian skin has warm to neutral undertones. Wheatish skin carries rosy nudes, brick reds and warm berries well; dusky skin suits deep nudes, chocolate browns, wine and rich reds. Pale, chalky nudes tend to wash out deeper complexions.
Can I try a lipstick shade before buying?
Yes. Every result has a “Try it on” button that opens our virtual try-on with that shade ready, so you can see it on your own face with your camera or a selfie.
What if I am not sure of my undertone?
Choose neutral. The finder then favours shades that work across undertones, and you can use the virtual try-on to compare a few before you decide.
Is the shade finder free?
Yes, free, with no sign-up. It takes under a minute.
