Q What lipcolors help teeth look whiter?
Good news: You can fake pearlier whites “Consider cherry reds, berry shades or pink-based hues,” advises Mali Thomas, a Bobbi Brown global artist-in-residence in Atlanta. Cool-toned colors “create a visual contrast to warmer tones on the teeth, counteracting any yellowish undertones,” she explains. In addition, “matte textures are best for making teeth appear whiter because they don’t reflect as much light, thus drawing less attention to any stains,” Thomas says. Steer clear of lipcolors with orange undertones, as they can “accentuate the yellow hues in teeth,” she adds.
