I have never heard of this but maybe many of you have.

I saw this on youtube and  on the Rachel Ray show she  had a beauty segment showing the same thing.

Pull down your lower lip and the inside  color would be the color blush you would  use. I can't imagine doing this in the store though. You may look silly.

What are your thoughts.

Many years ago I heard this during a time when colors were done with the premise that your hair, skin, eyes (multiple colors) and lip tones are flattering to wear so clothing doesn't clash. Other colors are added to wear for accent and good to choose . This was during the 1980s. Maybe new  idea to the younger set?

I was told to put the lipstick on your finger tip and rub in then put your finger tip by your inner lip. I have done it at home and one gets to know what are generally good shades and what will not flatter. I can't do mauves, purples, bright pink, browns so avoid those in lipstick and blush.

I don't think there is a perfect color and I would not limit myself to one color or spend time and money looking for perfection.

Never heard of that one.  Try it, no one will pay attention to what you do in the cosmetics section anyway.

It's trial and error for me---I was given a  blush in a beauty bag years ago---was from Elizabeth Arden and called Peach Sorbet---- and that has been my go to ever since--have 2 more stashed as it isn't easy to find. I do use other more pinky shades--lipstick is a whole other beast--but I do have a few that I like. Mostly they were also in various beauty bags  and most of them I trashed as well.

Years ago I read about doing this for lipstick.  Of course who uses one lipstick; but I do this for my go to lip color.

That's an interesting method, but probably not 100% foolproof, for various factors.

I own every shade of RMS HydraBlush and they all work for me.  I consider myself a medium neutral.  When I first tried the Pomegranate Fizz, I thought it was over the top but now I know how to apply it.  I can wear all colors of clothing. It's probably wrong, but I choose my blush shade to coordinate with my top.  I do the same with my lipsticks.

@cuddlesmama  - I have never heard of this.  May try it at home just because I'm curious.

Yes, I've heard that 'color-of-the-inside-of-lips' before from more than one person. I've done that before and it does work to find the most natural color but not so much as en enhancing or vivid color. It's the MLBB sort of thing for lippies.

For me, the issue has become needing to have more color as mine has faded.

My stylist is able to get a perfect blonde for me hair.

In blush, I'm finding that red colors, especially during the summer, give a sun-kissed glow!
Same with lips, although the gloss I use has a bronze tone to it!
