Well that certainly wouldn't work for me. Mine are nonexistent...LOL! They faded away years ago and never came back. I even asked my doctor about it one time and she said it was a hormonal thing to have them fade with age.

Re: How To Find Your Perfect Blush and Lip Color

I basically use the same color blush which is a pink/mauve tone.  Not a ballet pink by any means.  But, I will wear a peachy tone if I'm wearing something peachy.  I did that Sunday.  

 

Also, when one goes gray, they need to change up their makeup and possibly even wardrobe or they will look washed out.  A friend experienced that when she went gray.  Her hairdresser eased her into the change, but when she finally cut off the last of her color, it was a bit shocking.  She has very pretty gray hair, but I had trouble adjusting to it.  She even had someone tell her she needed to wear more color on her face.

@SilleeMee  Mine are light too and if I got a lipstick color that matched them it would wash me out! Plus, I wish mine were hot pink since that's my signature lipstick color! Smiley LOL

@SilleeMee  Yep faded away here too.. but age spots, freckles, cherry anginomas, and granuloma annulare have shown up here just as bright and fresh as can be..🤨

Silly idea, because everyone has different pigmentation in their lips. Isn’t it better to just apply it and have a better idea and more fool proof?

It must be close to 30 years ago ... trying to find to find the right blush for my fair (light beige) skin. 

 

I asked the advice of one of the women at the makeup counter and she directed me to a light peachy/pink and I bought the shade she recommended.  Still using that same color.
