Porcelain-complected and ivory-toned beauties like Jennifer Lawrence want to look for a deep brown lipstick with red undertones and earthy nudes with tints of pink. Cosenza also likes stone brown for girls with cool undertones, but make sure they're several shades darker than your natural skin tone so you don't appear washed out.
Romy Soleimani, makeup artist and beauty director at large for Beauty.com, recommends that women with fair skin should go for pinkish-brown shades. The underlying warmth to this color family will create a nice contrast with your delicate complexion. It will also bring out the natural flush in your cheeks and the brightness in your eyes.
If you have pale skin, avoid browns that lean heavily toward gray. These colors are often too light and feature frosty finishes that could make you sickly.
