Brittany lip gloss shades in pink, nude, coral and mauve styled with white flowers, glass ornaments and cream satin

Choose a Sparkle Lips shade by the colour and finish you enjoy, not a rule assigning one gloss to your skin tone. Your natural lip colour, the amount you apply and the lighting all influence the finished look.

Start with the Current Shade Photos

View the available options in the Sparkle Lips product listing. Compare the actual photos and descriptions instead of relying on a name such as Angel, Holographic or Ocean to predict the exact colour. Screens and lighting can affect how a shade appears.

Consider Your Natural Lip Colour

A lighter-coverage lip colour can let more of your natural lip colour show through. Check the individual product description for the expected coverage; do not assume every gloss is equally sheer or pigmented.

Use Skin Tone as One Reference, Not a Restriction

If you enjoy comparing warm, cool and neutral colours, use those descriptions to explore options. They do not mean that fair skin must use soft pink, olive skin must use coral or deeper skin must use a dark colour.

Choose Your Preferred Amount of Contrast

A shade closer to your natural lip colour may be a useful starting point if you want a subtle look. A more contrasting colour is another option. No shade is guaranteed to be universally flattering, and you do not have to pick a colour one or two tones deeper.

Think about the Finish

Compare shine, shimmer and coverage using the actual listing. If you plan to layer over another lip product, check both products' directions and assess how the combination looks and feels. You can wear the gloss by itself instead.

Make a Shortlist

Pick two or three current shades whose photos appeal to you.
Read their descriptions for colour, finish and application details.
Consider whether you want a familiar colour or a new direction.
Where a suitable tester or sample is available, follow its directions to assess the shade.
Choose the option you would enjoy wearing, without treating skin-tone advice as a rule.
