Do you think that there are no red lipsticks for fair skin? Oh yes there are! I love red lipstick, and while I'm not quite vampire pale, I'm definitely on the pale side of the spectrum.

Don't you just love the wonderful names that manufacturers come up with for their lipsticks, even if they don't have anything to do with the product!

Sephora Shimmer Harmony Gloss Palette

Sephora Shimmer Harmony Gloss Palette Price: $12.00 at sephora.com

If you're really uncertain about finding lipsticks to suit pale skin, and don't want to try out every tester in store, then purchasing a palette is an excellent way of experimenting. By trial and error, you can find out which shades suit you. The added advantage of this set is that it contains a blending bowl so that you can mix shades together. So a shade that might be too strong on its own could look perfect when toned down with a paler shade.

Obviously, you have to experiment to find lipsticks to suit pale skin, as with any other coloring. There are other factors to take into account; a blonde will not suit the same shades as a brunette, even if both are pale. With practice you will learn to recognise whether a shade will look right or wrong on you. Have you found a range that does marvellous lipsticks for fair skin?
