Lipstick fans are often divided into those who choose nude or pink colors. However, when shopping, it is worth paying attention to one more thing and buying a lipstick that will enhance the whiteness of your teeth.
In addition to matching the color to your own taste and beauty, it is worth paying attention to whether the selected lipsticks whiten your teeth. Enamel often has a natural yellowish tint, some colors can enhance it, making your teeth look much yellower, and whiten others.
Which lipstick colors are worth having in your collection to optically whiten your teeth? If we are faced with the problem of slightly yellow enamel, it is worth choosing cooler colors. Why this particular one? Because cool tones neutralize warm onesand yellow on teeth is a warm color. For this purpose, it is worth using lipsticks with blue or purple tones. What’s important tone is not color. So what exactly lipsticks should you choose? In many cases, colors such as:
- cool roses,
- nude colors,
- dark bold colors with blue tones, e.g. fuchsia.
It is also worth remembering that (especially lipsticks for everyday use) also match the color of the gums – the smaller the discrepancy, the better the whitening effect will be achieved. Importantly, a well-chosen lipstick can optically whiten your teeth by up to two shades.

- oranges,
- corals,

Before purchasing any of the above colors, it is worth testing them (it is best to buy them in stores where samples are available) and check whether they do not emphasize the yellow shade of the teeth.

Apart from lipstick, it is worth paying attention to the colors of other makeup elements. If we have yellow teeth, we should focus on: neutral-colored bronzerspreferably it should be only one degree darker than our skin tone. The method of application is also important – it should be done from the forehead to the cheekbones.
Not everyone uses pink in their makeup, but if we reach for it and want to make our teeth look whiter, then it is better to give up roses in shades of coral and peach.
