Colors are hard! There\u2019s always a subjective element \u2013 no matter how many palette theories you read up on, choosing the perfect lipstick shade seems easier said than done. It\u2019d be one thing if you were going for your usual aesthetic, but you just got a teeth whitening<\/a> treatment. The whole point was to change your look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can stop calculating and comparing. We\u2019ll give you simple tips on finding a lipstick color that\u2019ll make your teeth pop and <\/em>compliment your natural pigments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Avoid Dull Teeth with Contrast, Contrast, Contrast!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s review some art class basics. If you want to harmonize<\/em> your pigments, you\u2019ll choose muted tones that neighbor each other on the color wheel. That\u2019s not what we\u2019re going for here. You want to emphasize your newly whitened teeth, so what you\u2019re looking for is contrast<\/em>. Bright, saturated tones will stand out sharply against your teeth, making them look positively radiant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This concept is even more important when it comes to the color white. True white is an incredibly easy shade to influence. Lipstick with yellow, orange, or brown undertones will bleed that shade onto your teeth, making them appear stained or muddled. On the other hand, pure, clear tones like cobalt blue, emerald green, and cherry red will provide that stunning contrast that we talked about \u2013 without bringing out dull shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Best Lipstick for Your Teeth and <\/em>You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you don\u2019t just want your pearly whites to dazzle. You want your whole new look to wow<\/em> the crowd! For that, it\u2019s important to select lipstick hues that also compliment your natural colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
