Find out which shade will perfectly complement your skin tone -- then make it your go-to hue

Your Results

Your ideal lip color is: nude or rich berry

Want a more natural look? Nude lips a la Kim Kardashian will look fabulous on you. Marco recommends applying a nude lip pencil like Smashbox The Nude Lip Pencil in Light, $16 topped with a light pink, nude gloss like mark Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine in Sexy, $6.

Want a bold look? Bright, rich hues that have gold or bronze undertones will enhance your olive complexion, says Geller. But avoid pale brown because it'll wash you out. Try Laura Geller Dream Creams Lip Palette in Raspberry, $25, which includes four lip colors from the same family, so you don't have to be married to a single shade. Marco agrees saying cooler purples would also look gorgeous on your tone, and suggests pairing something like MAC Lip Pencil in Burgundy, $13 with Smashbox 'Lip Tech' Lip Color in Sangria, $24.
