How to Choose the Perfect Lip Color for Your Skin Tone (Pakistan Edition)

Not all lipstick shades are created equal — especially when it comes to matching your skin tone. Whether you’re getting ready for a cousin’s mehndi or a regular workday, the right lip shade can lift your whole look (and mood). And for Pakistani women, that choice is a little more nuanced thanks to our rich diversity in skin tones and undertones.

Let’s walk through how to choose the perfect lip color that complements your complexion — plus, how to make the most out of Clazona’s wide shade variety.

Understanding Your Skin Tone

Before diving into colors, it helps to understand your skin tone and undertone. Generally, skin tones fall into:

• Fair

• Medium/Wheatish

• Deep/Dusky

You can also check your undertone by looking at the veins on your wrist.

• Green = warm undertone

• Blue/purple = cool undertone

• Both = neutral

Knowing this will help you narrow down which lipstick shades actually flatter your skin instead of washing it out.

Lip Colors That Flatter Fair Skin Tones

Fair skin usually pairs well with soft pinks, rosy nudes, and coral tones. Shades with a hint of peach or mauve also bring out a natural glow.

Want a softer everyday look? A nude lipstick with pink or peachy undertones is your best friend. Just avoid anything too pale — it can make your lips disappear.

Try Clazona’s Velvet Matte Lipstick in light pink and soft nude variants — they glide on smoothly and are super wearable for day-to-day looks.

Lip Colors for Medium/Wheatish Skin

This is the most common skin tone in Pakistan, and thankfully, it’s super versatile. Think warm berries, terracotta browns, and mauves. These shades balance out yellow or golden undertones beautifully.

If you prefer something more subtle, a tinted formula like a lip tint can offer a sheer wash of color without being too bold.

For daytime glam, opt for matte lipstick finishes to keep things elegant and long-lasting. Night out? A quick swipe of lip gloss on top adds instant shine.

Lip Colors That Work for Deep/Dusky Skin

Deep skin tones can carry bold colors effortlessly. Rich plums, maroons, and chocolate browns not only pop but highlight the natural warmth of deeper complexions.

Avoid going too light — certain nude lip shades can look chalky if they’re not chosen carefully. Instead, go for deep nudes with red or brown undertones.

For a little extra glow, layer on some lip gloss — it enhances darker tones beautifully and keeps lips looking fresh and moisturized.

Day vs Night: Choose Based on the Occasion

• Daytime: Stick to muted tones — soft pinks, peaches, or a natural lip tint

• Nighttime: Go bolder — deep reds, wine tones, or high-shine lip gloss

You don’t need an entire drawer of products. One good lipstick, one gloss, and a go-to nude can take you from day to night in seconds.

Final Tips for the Perfect Pick

• Always test lip colors in natural light (store lighting can be deceiving!)

• Match it with your outfit and mood — not just your skin

• Don’t ignore formula: matte, glossy, or creamy — choose what feels right for you

The best part? You don’t have to look too far. Clazona’s Velvet Matte Lipstick line and Lip Gloss variants offer a wide range of tones designed with Pakistani skin tones in mind — all in one affordable place.
