Hi there beauty fans,

When it comes to choosing lipsticks there are certain lipstick colors that are timeless. They are the type of universal lipstick shades that you just feel you must have. These five lip colors – according to Muenge Nkwanyou, CEO of Zaron Cosmetics Cameroon – are all you need to get you through any “beauty” situation. We can’t make promises for any other variables, but armed with a great lipstick, everything should go just fine.

1.) RED

This is the perfect lipstick for any season of the year. One can never go wrong with a Classic Red. It’s definitely a must-have in your makeup bag. Nothing changes a look-or a face-like an attention-grabbing red lipstick. Classic Red is a match to any and every outfit you wear. It is also known as the Marilyn Monroe Lippy only because she basically trademarked it with her beautiful white dress.

2.) PURPLE

Sometimes when we hear “purple lipstick” we may get intimidated and feel as so we can’t pull off the look. If only we could get out of our comfort zone and become more open to different lipstick shades , then we could find out that we look freaking awesome with this particular shade!

3.) NUDE

Nude shades have become a must have for every woman. Its not all the time we want to wear the bold colors. Going subtle on the lip definitely brings out our natural beautiful selves. The idea of “nude” isn’t to match the skin, so depending on the undertones in your skin, the right nude will lean pink, mauve or beige, according to mymakeupbrushset.com .  Beauty writer, Bella Moore states that fair skin generally looks best (and least washed out) with a peach-leaning pinkish shade, while deeper skin tones have more options and can experiment with darker and lighter colors.

4.) BERRY or PLUM 

You don’t have to go all-in on that dark lip color-try using your finger to blot it on as a stain. A berry or plum lipstick is versatile for that reason, and because it often looks great pressed onto cheeks as a blush, too. Though deeper colors are intimidating, it’s hard to go wrong with rich reds and purplish shades, because they’re super-flattering and mimic the skin’s natural “flush.”  Because berry shades range from raspberry to blackberry, this color tells a lot about the owner. It creates mystery and makes a statement all at once.

5.) PINK

According to InStyle Magazine, whether you go for high-intensity fuchsia or an understated rose, pink lipstick always looks pretty. For an added tip, team it up with liquid liner and a hint of cheek color in the same note to take your office look into night.
