Are your pigmented lips giving you the beauty blues? Don't let your naturally luscious lips hold you back from rocking the perfect pout! Choosing the best lipstick for pigmented lips is easier than you think. With a few insider tips and tricks, you'll be ready to pucker up and show off your stunning smile in no time.

Understanding Your Undertones

The key to finding the best lipstick for your pigmented lips lies in understanding your skin's undertones. Whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones, there's a lipstick shade out there that will complement your complexion perfectly.

Warm Undertones

If you have warm undertones, your skin has a golden, peachy, or yellow hue. The best lipstick shades for you are those with orange, coral, or red undertones. Try a fiery red lipstick or a warm, peachy nude to make your pigmented lips pop.

Cool Undertones

Cool undertones have a pink, red, or blue hue to the skin. Berry shades, plums, and blue-based reds are your best friends when it comes to lipstick. A deep, berry-toned lipstick will complement your pigmented lips and make your teeth look whiter too!

Neutral Undertones

If you have neutral undertones, you're in luck! You can rock just about any lipstick shade under the sun. Experiment with different colors and finishes to find the perfect match for your pigmented lips.

Matte is the Way

When it comes to the best lipstick formula for pigmented lips, matte is the way to go. Matte lipsticks have an intense color payoff that will help to even out the appearance of your lips and create a smooth, flawless finish.

For a long-lasting, transfer-proof matte lipstick that will stay put all day, try the Type Beauty Matte Lipstick. This creamy, comfortable formula glides on smoothly and dries down to a beautiful matte finish that won't budge or smudge.

Embrace the Bold

Don't be afraid to embrace bold, bright colors when choosing a lipstick for your pigmented lips. A vibrant red lipstick or a deep, vampy plum will help to even out the appearance of your lips and create a stunning, statement-making look.

The Type Beauty Satin Lipstick in Red Velvet is the perfect choice for a bold, pigmented pout. This rich, creamy formula glides on smoothly and delivers intense, opaque color in just one swipe.

Prep and Prime

Before applying your lipstick, it's important to prep and prime your lips to ensure a smooth, even application. Start by gently exfoliating your lips with a lip scrub to remove any dry, flaky skin. Then, apply a thin layer of lip balm to hydrate and moisturize your lips.

For an extra boost of hydration, try the Type Beauty Lip Mask. This nourishing, buttery formula melts into your lips, leaving them soft, smooth, and ready for lipstick application.

Layer and Blend

To achieve a flawless, even finish on your pigmented lips, try layering and blending your lipstick. Start by applying a thin layer of lipstick to your lips, then use a lip brush to blend the color outwards towards the edges of your lips. Add another layer of lipstick for more intensity, then blot with a tissue to remove any excess product.

For a precise, defined lip look, use the Type Beauty Lip Liner to outline your lips before filling them in with lipstick. This will help to prevent feathering and bleeding, and will create a clean, polished finish.
