Many people struggle to obtain the perfect tooth tone with diluted over-the-counter whitening products. Thankfully, your dentist provides professional whitening services to safely achieve your ideal hue.
Once you’re happy with the way your smile looks, it’s only natural to want to show off the results. Did you know that wearing certain colors of lipstick can help them stand out? Continue reading to learn about 4 shades that can highlight your upgraded grin!
Lipstick #1: Nude
Neutral shades are perfect for dressing up or dressing down based on your needs and can match light, medium, and dark skin tones. However, it’s important to pick the right hue, or you might accidentally choose one that leaves your teeth looking more yellow than white.
For instance, nudes with warm undertones, like caramel, can make your teeth look duller. Meanwhile, hues with cool undertones, like pink, mauve, or beige, accentuate the bright bluish-white of your enamel.
Lipstick #2: Berry
December has arrived, and the holiday season is the perfect time of year to break out richer palettes. If you’re a fan of bolder shades, you might want to add a berry lipstick to your repertoire (if you don’t already have one). These options typically have blue or purple undertones that can help your teeth pop. Plus, because they’re darker, your pearly whites naturally appear lighter in comparison. There are several colors to choose ranging from pomegranate mulberry to deep blackberry.
Lipstick #3: Blue-Based Red
Red is another versatile option that can be worn both day and evening, but it’s important to choose the right pigment to avoid a washed-out smile. This classic shade can make your teeth look brighter if you select one with a blue base. You can also find versions that are more brick, scarlet, or orangey, but these have warm bases that can call attention to any existing discoloration.
Lipstick #4: Blue or Violet
If you’re feeling daring or have more eclectic tastes, you might do better with a more adventurous lipstick, like blue or violet. You probably don’t need to worry about which undertones are involved because they don’t contain warmer tones, like some berry shades do. Instead, these dark colors contrast with the white of your grin and can be either glossy or matte, so you’re sure to find one you can enjoy.
As you can see, the color you wear on your lips during the day can potentially enhance your recently whitened smile, but it’s important to pay attention to the undertones!
