A great lip color is all you need to make a statement. Don't believe us? Take a second to visualize Selena Quintanilla and Taylor Swift; your first image was their signature red pouts, right?
It's no secret that a pop of color can transform your look and your attitude, the problem is finding the perfect shade — you know, the one that makes your heart skip a beat. The reality is that one lipstick shade can look totally different on two different skin tones (especially nude shades).
That's why we're so glad to have found three of the most universal lip colors that flatter every skin tone. Yes, really. We have the photos to prove it. —Ymijan Baftijari

If you made us pick which one was our favorite, you'd probably be mad at us because they're all winners in our book. We're loving how every color looks a bit warmer, overall, on Nathashya.
