People who have warm undertones need a lipstick shade that is also warm. Brick reds, terracotta browns or orangey red are top choices. If you want to use a nude lip color, then opt for something that has brownish tints. To all the ladies that fall under this category, here are our top choices for satin and matte finish lipsticks.

… For Neutral Undertones

People who have a mix of cool and warm are considered neutral. Almost all shades work for you if you have this type of undertone. To give you a better example, look at celebrities like Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston. 

Lucky for you, there’s a spectrum of colors that work well for your skin tone. You can try pink lipsticks if you have more of a cool hue, a mauvey lipstick if you’re warmer, and berry-colored lipsticks if you have a deep tone. Here are some of our favorite matte and satin shades perfect for those that have neutral undertones.

What to Consider Before Choosing Your Lipstick Finish

1. Lip Dryness

If you have dry lips, then matte lipsticks are not your best friend. Lipsticks with a matte formula can be unforgiving to your lip’s texture. Apart from that, some matte lipsticks can be too drying.

This is the reason why you need to exfoliate and hydrate your lips with a lip balm before putting on lipstick with a matte finish. 

Meanwhile, satin lipsticks are more flexible and work well on any lip. Because of their creamy and sheer texture, you can get away with a satin lipstick even if you experience some dryness on your lips. Because it provides some moisture on your lips, it makes fine lines less noticeable.
