What is an undertone?

An undertone is a colour found within a colour that affects the overall hue. They can be seen as cool, warm or neutral. It is important to consider which lipstick will work in harmony with your undertone.

Which undertones are best for fair skin?

A blue-toned red suits a fair skin tone the best, as it will make your skin look brighter and your teeth whiter. We recommend the M·A·C Red to make your complexion pop.

Which undertones are best for medium skin?

For medium skin tones, orange reds are the best match. The warmth of the orange undertone compliments the golden tones that are often found in a medium complexion. M·A·C’s Lady Danger lipstick is the perfect choice for this.

Which undertones are best for dark skin?

For a dark complexion, I love a neutral red. Deep enough to blend beautifully into the richness of a darker complexion, but also bright enough that it still stands out. M·A·C’s Russian Red is the perfect shade for dark skin tones.
