Picking a shade from photos on a screen is hard. Screens vary, lighting varies, and skin tone changes how a color sits. Here is how to get it right first time.
Lip Stain: take the quiz
A few quick questions and it matches you to your best shades, so you are not guessing from photos. It takes about 90 seconds.
If you would rather read than click through a quiz, our color analysis guide matches shades to your season.

Lip liner: match or go slightly deeper
For a natural look with the 360 Contour Lipliner, pick a pencil that matches your lip color or is slightly deeper, to enhance and define your lips.

Eyeliner: go by eye color
Every shade of the 1440 Longwear Eye Liner works on every skin tone, so pick by the look you want rather than your complexion. Here are good starting points by eye color:
| Eye color | First | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brown | Pine | Kalamata | Blueberry |
| Hazel | Gold Mocha | Olive | Brown Sugar |
| Blue | Brown Sugar | Gold Mocha | Blueberry |
| Grey | Black Truffle | Kalamata | Eggplant |
| Green | Eggplant | Brown Sugar | Gold Mocha |
Why these work:
- Brown is a versatile neutral, so almost anything works, but jewel tones bring out the most richness.
- Hazel has both green and gold in it, so you can lean into either.
- Blue is cool and icy, so warm tones balance it best.
- Grey looks best in shades that bring out its cool or warm undertones.
- Green pairs beautifully with purple, and warm tones work well too.
These are suggestions, not rules. Any shade works if it is the look you are after.
Blush: two different things
- pHLUSH Stick adjusts to your own skin chemistry, so there is no shade to choose. It works on cheeks, lips and lids.
- Wonder Blading All-Day Blush Stain is a long-wear liquid stain in pickable shades.
The Blush Stain range is universal. Every shade flatters every complexion with no white cast or ashiness, so pick by the effect you want: something close to your natural flush for every day, something brighter for full glam.
