Skin tone is very important to consider before choosing a lip color. Women with ivory skin tones, should not wear chocolat brown lipstick , for example, because it can age you and appear unatural - a woman with ivory skin would never have that much brown in her lips. Women with bronze skin tones should not wear pale, frosty lip shades, because they can make lips appear ashy and artificial.
