Frequently asked questions
What lipstick goes with a blue dress?
Pink and red lips are both excellent with blue. Choose based on your season: coral for Spring, dusty pink for Summer, warm nude for Autumn, and bold red or fuchsia for Winter.
Can I wear orange lipstick with blue?
Orange and blue are complementary colors, which can be striking or jarring depending on execution. Coral (a softer orange) works better than pure orange. Best on Spring and Autumn coloring.
What lip color works for a royal blue outfit?
Royal blue is vivid, so it needs a lip shade with equal presence. Bold reds (Winter), bright corals (Spring), or rich berries (Summer) all hold their own. Avoid very pale or muted lips.
