And since November begins tomorrow-seriously, where did the year go?!-you might as well start swatching lipstick colors for those inevitable holiday soirees. Silver jewelry also fares better than gold and sun exposure is more likely to leave you burned. Not sure if you’ve got cool undertones? Well if you do, the veins in your forearm look blue instead of green. The stakes are particularly high for finding lipsticks that flatter cool undertones because a wrong turn can leave you looking washed out instead of party-ready. More often than not, it’s because the shade simply doesn’t compliment your skin’s undertones. The upside of an otherwise bleak result is that it doesn’t necessarily mean you should always avoid that color. When you’re shopping on-the-go, there’s nothing worse than buying lipstick that is just all wrong when you try to wear it the next day.
