Have you ever wondered whether the lipstick shade you have on right now can make your teeth look whiter, or more pale? Well, if you haven't given it much thought, it's time you did. Choosing a lipstick shade can
make a huge difference in making your teeth appear whiter. The lipstick shade is meant to reflect off your smile to boost brightness (or the opposite). But what are these shades, and do they affect us all equally? There's only one way to find out.

Do Lipstick Shades Affect Us Equally?

• Skin tone
• Existing whiteness of the teeth

Some women believe that altering the shade of lipstick will make yellowish or stained teeth look whiter. That's not the case. It's true that various shades do make an impact on your smile, but it works only when your teeth are already white or somewhat close. Apart from your teeth, even the color of your skin plays a huge role in complementing the shade of lipstick you have on.

Lipstick Shades for Whiter Teeth

It's perfectly natural to be skeptical, and not believe in this theory. But on the other hand, will it bring any negative impact if you did? If you'll indulge the idea for some time, we can go over a few points that may make you reconsider.

In order to minimize yellowish tinges on your teeth, do away with see-through lip glosses. What you need is matte rose shades (with blue undertones) that will downplay the yellow in teeth.

The goal is to choose shades that will reflect against the enamel of your teeth, making them look shinier than they really are.
