Despite lipstick being the most popular makeup it is amazing how many people do not know how to choose the right shade for their skin tone. Going into a department store or even a drugstore it is easy to see how overwhelming the task can be, just think about all of those colors that you have to choose from. With all of those colors it is easy to get side tracked because of how cute most of the colors are, but being cute does not mean the shade is going to work for your skin tone.

Signs of sensitive skin include skin that is easily irritated, acne break outs and rashes, blotchy and red skin, and dry patches. Chemicals and synthetic ingredients can further increase these conditions. Synthetic ingredients found in many manufactured makeup products that should be avoided include: Formaldehydes, Paraffin, Imidazolidinyl urea, Diazolidiny urea, Parabens (methyl, propyl, butyl, ethyl,) petrolatum products, propylene glycol, Phthalates, PVP/VA Copolymer, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, and Triethanolamine.

You should consider your skin tone color before choosing the right lipstick. The right lipstick should meet your skin tone color. Put a little lipstick on your wrist to get the actual display of color. In general, people with fair skin will look good when wearing red lipstick plum color, medium brown, pink beige, mocha browns, and the shimmer pink. While people with brown-skinned skin tone color will be suitable to use lipstick shades of blue, warm brown, deep caramels, creamy coffees, and deep pink.

Do you enjoy using foundation? If so, make sure you select the brand you use very carefully since many of the foundations that are sold in local stores have ingredients that cause contact dermatitis, which means your skin will get very irritated. Brands that contain 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1, 3-diol or quaternium 15 are very likely to expose you to formaldehyde, a problem ingredient for many people. If you have highly sensitive skin, make sure you pass on foundations that contain some sort of fragrance and propylene glycol since both can sting.
