Best Lipsticks For Cool Skin With Brown Hair | Red Apple Lipstick
Hello friend! If you have cool toned skin and natural brown hair, the right lipstick can brighten your complexion, make your eyes pop, and pull everything together with very little effort. This guide walks you through the most flattering lipstick, liner, gloss, and blush picks for a look like Robyn’s.
The most fool proof way we have found to tell if your skin is cool toned is simple. Do you feel and look best in silver jewelry and avoid wearing yellow gold? If the answer is yes, you are most likely cool toned. Let’s look at the lip colors that love that combination of cool skin with brown hair.
If you have cool skin you will usually look best in lipstick shades in the berry and pink family. To build a hard working makeup bag, focus on your hair, eye, and base lip color so you can hone in on your best shades. Look for a soft lavender, a cool toned pink, a soft everyday pink, and a deeper shade for a bolder, dressy lip.

Why These Lipsticks Work For Cool Skin With Brown Hair
When choosing lipsticks for someone with a similar look to Robyn, we are focused on enhancing her natural features. Cool skin paired with brown hair already has beautiful contrast. The right pink and berry lip colors frame the face, brighten the complexion, and keep everything looking soft instead of harsh.
These shades will stay flattering as your features change over time. As lip pigment fades and brown hair starts to go salt and pepper, you can simply wear these same shades a little more boldly so your features continue to stand out in a flattering way.
Quick reasons these shades flatter you
- Cool pinks and berries echo your cool undertone so your skin looks brighter, not washed out.
- Soft to medium depth shades balance brown hair without looking too loud for everyday wear.
- As your hair lightens with age, you can build these colors a little deeper instead of changing shades completely.
Best Lipstick Shades For Cool Skin With Brown Hair
Below are three Red Apple Lipstick favorites that work beautifully on cool, fair brunettes like Robyn. Each one is clickable so you can see ingredients, swatches, and reviews.
How Your Base Lip Color Changes The Shade
Your base lip color is the color of your lips with nothing on them. This matters a lot because Red Apple Lipstick formulas are designed to blend with your natural lip color instead of covering it completely. That is what keeps the color looking alive and natural.
These same lipsticks will look different on someone whose base lip color is brown or purple, and they may not be our first choices in that case. On Robyn, whose base lip color is a medium pink, every lipstick she chooses will lean more pink and fresh.
- If your bare lips are very pale, most shades will look a little deeper and more true to the tube.
- If your lips are naturally medium pink, choose shades just one or two steps deeper for an easy my lips but better color.
- If your lips are naturally deeper brown or plum, shades may look more muted or neutral on you.
Knowing your base lip color helps you find that timeless, classic everyday shade that makes you look pulled together without trying. If your overall look is similar to Robyn’s, these three lipsticks are all great starting points.
Lip Liner, Gloss, and Blush For Cool, Fair Skin
You might also be wondering what other makeup will look amazing on your cool, fair skin. Below you will find lip pencils, glosses, and blush that pair beautifully with the lipsticks we just talked about.
These lip pencils help define your lips softly, keep color from feathering, and give you a more finished look without harsh lines.
We also love pairing these lipsticks with glosses that add shine, a hint of color, and a hydrated look. You can layer them over lipstick or wear them alone on low makeup days.
Blush is one of our favorite products because it instantly brings your face to life. The shade Gotta Glow is a beautiful choice for cool skin. You can also wear Dolly, a matte baby pink that is especially flattering if you are very fair.

FAQs
How do I know for sure that my skin is cool toned?
Most people with cool skin feel best in silver jewelry, bright white tops, and blue based pinks. If yellow gold, warm camel, or orange reds tend to make your skin look dull, you are probably cool toned. You can always send a photo to our beauty advisors if you would like a second opinion.
Can I still wear these shades if my hair starts to go gray or silver?
Yes. As your brown hair becomes salt and pepper or silver, these same cool toned pinks and berries can be worn more boldly. Add an extra layer of color or apply from the bullet instead of blotting so your features stay defined and bright.
What is the best finish if I have fine lines around my lips?
Creamy, moisturizing formulas that are not overly slippery are ideal. Our lipsticks are made to feel comfortable on lips that are dry or mature. For extra insurance against feathering, lightly trace your mouth with a coordinating lip pencil before you apply lipstick.
What if my base lip color is deeper brown or plum?
These shades may look more muted or neutral on naturally deeper lips. That can be beautiful if you prefer a softer look.
