How do (or did) you figure out what lip colors worked best for you?
For me, it was just a lot of trial and error. I think having some fearlessness about trying color helps a lot–just try it once and see how you feel about it. The other thing I noticed was that certain color combinations just work better than others (between eyes, cheeks, and lips), so it wasn’t always that the lip color didn’t work but rather that it didn’t pair well with the rest of what I was wearing.
