Finding the right lip shade is like finding the perfect pair of jeans — when you know, you just know. But let’s be real: with endless lipstick shades out there, it's easy to get overwhelmed. The good news? Choosing the perfect lipstick becomes a lot easier once you understand your skin tone and undertone.
In this guide, we’ll help you decode your tone and find your go-to Ammoha lipstick shade for every occasion.
🔍 Step 1: Understand Your Skin Tone
There are three main skin tone categories:
- Fair to Light
- Medium to Wheatish
- Dusky to Deep
💡 Tip: Don't confuse skin tone with undertone — they're different! Your tone is how light or dark your skin is. Your undertone is the subtle hue underneath your skin’s surface (warm, cool, or neutral).
🔍 Step 2: Identify Your Undertone
Here’s a quick hack:
- Warm undertones: Veins appear greenish. Gold jewelry suits you.
- Cool undertones: Veins look bluish. Silver jewelry pops on you.
- Neutral undertones: Veins look both green and blue. Both gold and silver suit you.
