The lipstick color match
An easy style recipe: match your lipstick to something in your outfit.
I/ Examples
Lips and hat (and nails here)
Lips and (one petal of the) earrings
Lips and shoes
Lips and bag
Lips and belt
Lips and gloves
Lips and (the upper) stripe
Lips and the pink flowers of the print (and the bag)
Lips and, well, the main cloth

II/ Does the lipstick has to be a perfect match?
I already can hear you protesting you would need to rob the lipstick store (yes such a store exists in my fantasies).
Relax: when there are only two red elements in an outfit, the eye will consider they are matching. Even if the color differs slightly.
Even if your lipstick and the chosen color are close to each other you can afford some imperfection.
Just respect the spirit of the red. Determine whether its a bright red, a pink, a coral, an orange, a burgundy… and pick accordingly. But having the exact same coral shade you do not need.

Less perfect but also lovely orangy lips matching with the orange scarf at Dolce and Gabbana.
And you? Do you use your match clothes and accessories with your lips?
Hi Alois, I have been reading your blog for years and I am so glad you are back. I kept checking weekly for new posts
Oh! And I am glad you are back too then!
I love that idea. Thank you!

The woman with the white Shirt and “AAH!”-Bag with matching lipstick is Maria Astor, also known as Masha, owner of the famous german style blog “Mashasedgwick”. I love her style!
Oh merci for the ref 🙂
I love lipstick, but I tend to match it to my skin tone as my complexion makes it trickier to achieve this type of match and still flatter me. Loved it on all your examples, though

Moins facile avec un masque…
Ahah clairement… cet article montre que je suis dans le déni
I never wear lipstick, unless it’s for a photo shoot. I hate it! What can I do instead?
Je note que la silhouette See of shoes propose un rappel couleur “éloigné” si j’ai bien potassé ton précédent article sur les rappels couleurs.
Sinon le rouge à lèvres ne tient pas une heure sur moi, je dois trouver autre chose 🙂
Tout à fait!
Same here 🙂
There are always tons of other ideas! That’s one style recipe only! There are also others which consist in not wearing lipsticks haha. Choose the ones that you like.
As for color matches, you can match other little stuffs like earrings with top, scarf with shoes, etc
I always wear color that flatters me..so my lips do match the main color in my ensemble..
Good move!
