How-to Pick the Perfect Lip Ink Smear Proof Liquid Lip Color

Staring at the expansive variety of colors cosmetic companies offer can be, well, exhausting. You want to try something new, but you're not sure if it will compliment your skin tone. If you've ever tried Lip Ink, you'll know that the colors are an additive to your own lip pigment, making it seem even harder to choose a new favorite taking your own lip color into consideration.

Whether you're looking to find an alternative to your current fav or looking to try something bold, we've got the perfect color for you. And here is how I will make it simple for you!

Our colors are designed based on the knowledge of the color wheel. We are building this guide in order to help you chose your new go-to color, wherever it may fit in your lifestyle.
