You'd think as an artist, I'd know color theory and get my shade in a store perfectly. The issue is you can swipe it anywhere on your body and the closest is between your thumb and forefinger....go figure.... BUT it never looks the same on your lips. 

Everyone's lips have a different undertone and can be darker, lighter pale w/o color or have enough color that it effects the shade of the lipstick. 

Eyeshadow is clearly the color you see in the palette since most women use a primer to block out discoloration and begin with a blank canvas. I've started using concealer on my lips to get the same canvas. 

I try to purchase lipsticks at Nordstrom or any store that has a good return policy. When I get home where I can actually try of the expensive lipstick and see the actual color on my lips, if not correct, it can be returned.

@Shanus I think store lighting makes a difference too.  A lot of times in the store I don't see that a color has a bit of orange in it, but see it immediately when I get home.

@Icegoddess   After swatching up and down my arm...I head outside to see the shade in natural sunlight. Still not 100% accurate.
