Whether you like it or not, the shade of your lipstick is sending people a message about you. It can show your personality, how creative, reliable and professional you seem, and now, this new study from P&G Beauty evidently supports it.
The bolder lipstick colours tend to be associated with powerful traits, while more natural hues were associated with warmer personality traits. From the findings, the team also deduced on the different lipstick shades that can be used to your advantage.
Job interview: Look strong and confident with a plum shade. It would make you look professional and ambitious but still relatable.
First date: A nude or plum lipstick are seen as the most reliable and attractive. This is perfect whether you want a lover for life or a casual hookup.
Work brainstorm: To make everyone feel at ease and comfortable with sharing their ideas, go for a nude to come across as cooperative, caring and open.
Fiancé’s family reunion: Wear pink to look sociable and fun-loving. This is ideal for meeting new people in an informal setting.
A presentation: This is the time to sport that classic red to look daring and confident. It shows you’re an expert and that you’re someone who takes risks.
