Tips for lips:
When choosing a lip color, it is
best to match it against your skin
tone; test the color on the back of your
hand to match. Some colors will wash
you out. Knowing how the color wheel
works will help because it shows the
contrasting and complimentary colors.

Wearing light pink or peach, nude,
or browns is best for fair skin. When
choosing a bold color, be sure to choose
a darker shade of red with more of a
pink tint because any orange, red will
wash you out. Fair skin has more of a
pink undertone, so staying with the
pink colors will look beautiful.
Medium skin will need medium pink,
red, and more orange colors. This skin
tone will work with the orange tints
because the undertone is more yellow.
Yellow and orange go great together, so
using a bold orange/red lip will bring
out the beauty of your skin.
Olive skin tone will want to go with
dark lips: Rose, purple, red, apricot.
Because there is a yellow undertone
to your skin, you will be able to wear
orange or purple colors. Since your skin
is darker, you want to stay with a darker
tint to accentuate your skin.
Dark skin tone will look beautiful with
dark chocolates, dark pink/purple, and
golden browns. If you want to try an
even more bold lip, go with an almost
white/purple to really make your lips
pop. Dark skin undertone can be yellow
or pink, so once you discover your
undertone, you will be able to match
your lip tints.

Q
With all the things happening in the
world, why do people think that their
views and beliefs are unequivocally
correct, there in making the entire world
wrong. What is it that leads we as people
to think that we need to push our views on
everyone else as well as the idea that radicals
are a reflection of all involved?
A
Dear Politically Correct,
That is a great question, one which
I wish I had the answer to! I agree, people
can be very polarized, think their way is the
“right” way, try to push their ideals on others,
and believe that extremists represent all all
members of a cause. I’m sure others more
well-versed in the psychology of politics than
I have written books on the subject, and
have plenty of insights to share. My two cents
is that our degree of open-mindedness can
often depend on how we’re raised, and we
frequently hold the beliefs our families do,
which are consistently reinforced throughout
our lives. Of course, I can also think of plenty
of people I know whose politics couldn’t be
further away from their family’s, but I think
even this divergence is influenced by families.
For some, going against their family’s views
can feel like a betrayal, so they hold on even
it doesn’t make sense to them. For others, the
dissonance between what they were raised
to believe and how they feel are so far apart
that they feel they must be true to their own
convictions, and voice their opinions, despite
potential negative pushback. Something to
keep in mind, is that despite the problems in
this country (and world), we are very lucky to
live in a country where we are free to express
ourselves and have differing opinions!
