I’m a beginner & trying to learn how certain lip shades go with outfits/occasions. I see swatches of lipsticks & feel absolutely boggled when 1 comment says 5th shade is gorgeous & other says 6th shade is prettiest, meanwhile both shades looks like dark red to me😭 among all other red color swatches. It’d be really easier if hexcodes were assigned to lipsticks instead of names like orgasm, dragon girl, notorious.
Colour in real life is not the same as it is in digital form. Colour depends on lighting in real life. To find the code of the colour you would have to photograph it. You would need to have standardized rules for the photography of lipsticks that all brands would have to use for all this to actually work (camera settings, background, lighting etc.). Shine and texture influence colour so that is another problem. Pigmentation and opacity of products also influences how they look on different skins and natural lip colours. I don’t think it’s worth it tbh. It also takes out some of the fun.
