10 Expert-Approved MAC Lipsticks That Truly Flatter Fair Skin

Selecting the right lipstick shades for fair skin can be a bit challenging, especially since some burgundy and red tones can look a bit overpowering on porcelain and ivory skin. The same problem also applies to nude lipsticks, as some barely-there shades can make it look like a thick layer of concealer is caked on your lips, which is always pretty off-putting. However, those born with pale skin don’t have to fret about finding a MAC lipstick that flatters their lighter tone, as the brand has a variety of shades that will help your skin pop instantly.

But if you aren’t sure how to find your perfect lipstick match, MAC Director of Makeup Artistry, Gregory Arlt, recommends starting by looking at your skin tone in order to find that come-hither shade. “I always recommend seeking the advice of a makeup professional to determine the undertones of one’s skin,” Arlt tells StyleCaster. “On warmer skin tones I recommend warmer colors (orange or brick reds, corals, and warmer pinks), and on cooler skin tones, I advise going for berries, mauves, and blue-reds.”

With this helpful insight in mind, we talked more to Artl about all the best MAC shades that flatter pale skin-tones perfectly. From pinks to nudes to reds, below are ten amazing shades totally worth adding to your makeup stat!
