There\u2019s no denying that brown lipstick can serve up some amazing beauty looks, and expert\u00a0makeup artists suggest that this earthy tone can be pulled off by every skin tone with ease.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrowns tend to suit every tone well, as they instantly warm up the look of the face,\u201d says New York City-based makeup artist Carlina Zacarias<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To arm you with the best brown lipstick hacks, we spoke to makeup artists about all the things to keep in mind when you\u2019re looking for the perfect shade.<\/p>\n

Determine the look you want<\/strong>
\n\u201cDeeper shades of brown are great for a statement look,\u201d says makeup artist Jenna Menard<\/a>. Wear these tones like you would wear bright red, as you have to commit to making the statement and go with it. \u201cSofter nude brown tones offer a neutral look that’s still on-trend for fall,\u201d she says. And if you want to tone down your lipstick a notch, you can simply combine it with a nude lipstick you already own.<\/p>\n

Consider the lipstick texture<\/strong>
\n\u201cAnother factor to think about is texture,\u201d Greenwood says. Stick to more matte formulas if your brown shade is on the darker side. You\u2019ll also want to keep lighter and more golden brown tones looking glossy and hydrated, he adds.<\/p>\n

Make sure you have contrast<\/strong>
\n\u201cIf you’re fair, think about a taupe shade, as the cool undertones will serve you well,\u201d says makeup artist Logan Greenwood<\/a>. Light to medium tones should think about warmer (reddish) brown tones, he suggests, while olive complexions can go with deeper brown shades. Deeper skin tones should look for more medium and golden brown shades for the noticeable contrast you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

Look for browns with the right undertone<\/strong>
\n\u201cLook for a brown lipstick that has either a brick red undertone or a little bit of plum mixed in,\u201d says Cati James<\/a>, a New York City-based makeup artist. This allows you to still achieve the edgy vibe you\u2019re going for, but that hint of color doesn\u2019t pull out the flush in your cheeks.<\/p>\n

Application is important<\/strong>
\n\u201cAlthough exfoliating and hydrating your lips is important before color application, I also like using a lip primer to achieve dramatic brown lips,\u201d says celebrity makeup artist Mary Irwin<\/a>. \u201cAlways apply a lip primer or concealer onto your lips before your lipstick,\u201d says makeup artist Gabriel De Santino, creator of Gabriel Cosmetics<\/a>. This ensures that the color stays on your lips and doesn\u2019t transfer.<\/p>\n
