Berry lips: how to choose the perfect lipstick shade?

You can't live without berry-colored lipsticks in 2021. They have taken pride of place in the list of the main trends of summer and autumn, so we do not recommend passing them by. Juicy strawberries, rich raspberries, bright cherries, ripe plums or fresh blackberries are an excellent set for creating not only a smoothie or fruit salad, but also summer makeup.

Berry lipsticks instantly refresh the face and do not require eye makeup at all, but still look less bright on the lips than classic red shades. They will be a wonderful choice both for young girls who want to add a bright accent to their makeup, and for adult women who want to visually rejuvenate their face and give it a rested look.

All berry lipsticks vary in shade, saturation and undertone. They can be colorful or more pastel, pinkish or reddish, with warm or cool undertones. We decided to figure out how to choose the right shade of lipstick so that your clients leave you happy.
