Bold, eye-catching lipsticks are great, but nothing quite compares to the timeless appeal of an MLBB (My Lips But Better) shade. Effortlessly flattering and versatile, these nude lipsticks complement your natural complexion and undertone—making them a must-have for everything from office meetings to elegant soirées.

Warm Undertone

Warm undertones don’t always equate to tanned or darker complexions. If the veins on your wrist are more green than blue and you tend to tan easily, then you’re definitely on the warm side. You’ve also got more of a golden, olive, peach, or yellow hue to you. Those with warm undertones have it easiest as the rule of thumb (or lip?) is super simple: warm undertones mean choosing equally warm shades. Your best bets for MLBB lippies you’ll love are those in rosy pink, peachy pink, or terracotta-type shades.

Cool Undertone

Skin with a cool undertone sits on a different side of the spectrum. If you’ve got more blue-ish veins and find you either burn easily or tan slowly, then you’re officially a ‘cool’ kid. Your complexion also tends to lean towards looking more blue, pink, or red, and most fair-skinned individuals are armed with cool undertones. To avoid looking washed out, avoid beige lipsticks, especially if you have lighter skin, and opt for ones that veer more towards soft pinks, dusty nudes, and muted reds.

Finding your perfect MLBB lipstick starts with knowing your undertone and picking shades that truly enhance your natural beauty. Ready to find your match? Shop now on ZALORA!
