Calling all fair-skinned beauties! Charlotte’s best-selling lipstick collections range from the boldest reds, prettiest pinks to the softest nudes (and almost everything in-between!), so she definitely has a shade for you, whatever your skin-tone.

Find the perfect lipstick colour for your fair skin with our handy tips, tricks and gorgeous shade recommendations below – you’ll be spoilt for choice!

DISCOVER YOUR SKIN'S UNDERTONE

First, you need to know your skin’s undertone. To find out if you have cool, neutral or warm undertones, take a look at your veins on the underside of your wrist.

Cool Undertones: if your veins appear blue or purple, you’re likely to have a cool undertone to your skin.

Neutral Undertones: if they’re more of a green-toned colour, you’re likely to have neutral undertones.

Warm Undertones: if you’re still studying the veins on your wrist and you’re neither cool nor neutral, you’ve probably got warm undertones. Those with warm undertones have bluish-green toned veins.

Now that you’ve determined your skin’s undertone, you can find your perfect lipstick shade for your gorgeous fair skin! Whether you love pink, red, nude or coral lipstick, find the shade for you to make your skin GLOW!
