Lipstick Color Tricks

  

Did you know certain lipstick shades could make your teeth look whiter while others do exactly the opposite? We all know how expensive it is to get our teeth whiten at a dental office but there’s a quicker and more cost effective way of getting the whitening effect on your teeth. Lip colors with yellow undertones will bring out any yellow hues in your teeth making them appear less white than they actually are such as yellow or orange-based pinks, corals, and reds. Blue undertone lipstick hues will contrast with the yellow in your teeth and bring out the white making your teeth appear brighter such as blue-based reds, hot pinks, violet colors, and dark plums. So choosing the right lipstick shades can make a huge difference in how white or yellow your teeth can look. Here are some lipstick shades that will make your teeth looking white.

Nars Audacious Lipstick in Liv, $32

Purple and deep red blue-based lipsticks provides high contrast for teeth to look their brightest. 

MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo, $16

This lipstick has a blue-based formula that will help cancel out any orange or yellow tones on your teeth. 

A glossy lip also helps reflects light, which could help make your smile seem brighter.
