Stop Guessing Your Perfect Lipstick Shade – Here’s The Cheat Sheet You Need | Amiiga
You know that universal moment when you swipe on a lipstick that looked divine in the tube, only to glance in the mirror and wonder if you’ve just fast-tracked yourself into an audition for “pale and tragic”? Meanwhile, your best friend is wearing the exact same shade, strutting around like she was cast as the face of a lipstick commercial. Cue the spiral: is your mirror lying, or are your lips just uncooperative?
The truth is, lipstick is not a “one-size-fits-all” fairytale. What absolutely is a smash perfection on someone else might betray you completely, and it’s not your lips’ fault. The culprit hiding in plain sight? Your undertone. Yes, that subtle undertone running beneath your skin is the reason why a classic red transforms into a bombshell statement on one person but goes clownish on another. Once you get that decoded, you stop wasting money on shades that betray you and start curating a lineup that always works in your corner.
Lipstick Meets Undertone
Lipsticks, like people, behave differently depending on who they’re with—or rather, in this situation, what undertone they are on.
If You’re Cool-Toned
You’ll want lipsticks that echo your undertone’s chill vibes: blue-based reds, berry hues, wine shades, and rosy pinks. These shades cancel out sallowness and make teeth look brighter. Imagine a cranberry gloss for daytime drama or a velvety plum matte for cocktail hour. What won’t work? Orange-heavy shades—they’ll fight you like oil and water.
Amiiga Recommends:
Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick – Rebel Rose (4.5 gm) Unleash your bold with Rebel Rose—a rich, dusty mauve that strikes the perfect balance between daring and elegant. This creamy matte lipstick glides on like silk, delivering intense pigment with a lightweight, non-drying formula. Infused with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E, it keeps your lips soft and comfortable all day long while giving you a flawless matte finish.
Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick – Sassy Sangria (4.5 gm) Unleash your bold side with Sassy Sangria, a rich berry nude shade that adds instant glamour to any look. This creamy matte lipstick glides on effortlessly, delivering intense pigment in just one swipe. The velvety texture feels lightweight and hydrating, never drying or cakey.
If You’re Warm-Toned
Bring out your inner sun goddess with corals, peachy nudes, terracotta, and warm reds with hints of orange. These colours harmonise with the golden glow in your skin, making you look radiant without trying. Picture a burnt coral stain on a beach day or a cinnamon-red lipstick at dinner. What to avoid? Shades with too much blue can leave you looking muted instead of magnetic.
Amiiga Recommends:
Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick – Cinnamon Smack (4.5 gm) Turn up the heat with Cinnamon Smack, a rich, spiced nude shade that flatters every skin tone. This creamy matte lipstick glides on effortlessly, delivering intense pigment in just one swipe. The velvety texture feels lightweight and hydrating, never drying or cakey. Infused with nourishing ingredients, it keeps your lips soft and smooth while offering long-lasting, smudge-proof wear. Whether you’re dressing up or going natural, Cinnamon Smack brings bold elegance with a warm, confident finish.
Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick – Paprika Pop (4.5 gm) A warm-toned power player that brings the perfect pop of colour to enhance your natural golden glow without overwhelming your features.
If You’re Neutral
Congratulations, you lucky shapeshifter—you can wear the best of both worlds. Nude beige? Chic. Deep blackberry? Smoldering. True red? Iconic. The key for you is balance: avoid shades that lean too extreme on either spectrum (think neon orange or icy lilac). Everything else? Yours to play with.
Amiiga Recommends:
Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick – Caramel Latte (4.5 gm) Indulge your lips in the rich, velvety texture of Amiiga Beauty’s Creamy Matte Lipstick in Caramel Latte. This warm, medium nude shade with subtle caramel undertones offers the perfect balance between natural elegance and everyday glam. The creamy matte formula glides on effortlessly, delivering intense color payoff with a soft, comfortable finish that won’t dry out your lips. Long-lasting and lightweight, it’s the go-to shade for enhancing your natural beauty—whether you’re headed to the office or out for coffee.
Lipstick Alchemy
Let us let you in on a secret: You don’t have to marry just one lipstick. Some of the most iconic looks come from layering, creating your own cocktail of tones.
Warm + Cool Fusion
Layer a warm terracotta base and dab a cool berry gloss in the centre. Result? A customised shade that adapts to your undertone without looking flat.
Amiiga Recommends:
- Base Layer: Cinnamon Smack
- Centre Dab: Sassy Sangria
Nude Reinvention
That “dead-looking” nude? Try it with a lip liner one shade deeper than your natural lip colour. Suddenly, it’s model-off-duty chic instead of zombie extra.
Amiiga Recommends:
- Base: Caramel Latte
- Pro Tip: Apply directly from the bullet, starting at the center of your upper lip and working outwards, following your natural lip line for the most precise application.
The Ombre Trick
Apply a darker shade on the outer corners, blend inward with a lighter hue, and boom—instant pout enhancement without fillers.
Amiiga Recommends:
- Outer Corners: Rebel Rose or Sassy Sangria
- Center: Caramel Latte

Key Takeaways
Honestly speaking, there’s no one lipstick that will carry you from Monday meetings to Friday night chaos. Instead, build a lip wardrobe: a go-to nude, a statement red, and a wild-card shade that makes you feel unstoppable. Keep your undertone in mind when shopping, test textures, and don’t shy away from layering. When your lineup works with you instead of against you, you’ll never feel betrayed by a tube of lipstick again.
What’s the best starter lipstick shade if I’m totally new to makeup?
Go for a “my-lips-but-better” nude like Amiiga Beauty Creamy Matte Lipstick in Caramel Latte and work outward from there. It’s the safest introduction.
What’s the best everyday lipstick shade?
It depends on your undertone, but a “my-lips-but-better” nude is universally chic. Try Caramel Latte or Cinnamon Smack—finding a shade one to two tones deeper than your natural lip colour.
How do I make a shade last longer without it looking cakey?
Start by exfoliating and moisturizing your lips. Apply the lipstick directly from the bullet, starting at the center of your upper lip and working outwards, following your natural lip line. Blot with tissue, then add a second light coat. A touch of translucent powder pressed through tissue seals the deal.
Are Amiiga lipsticks suitable for sensitive lips?
Yes! The creamy matte formula is infused with nourishing ingredients like castor oil, shea butter, and vitamin E that keep lips soft, smooth, and hydrated throughout the day. The formula is designed to be non-drying and non-cracking, making it comfortable even for sensitive lips.
