You really need to try it on. There are many different tones and thousands of different colors and textures to choose from, so it’s really trial and error with lipstick.

A lip brush is a good tool. If you know how to use it, it just makes applying lipstick so much easier. It's way more precise than without.

Yes, it’s pretty easy. You can just buy pigments, which a lot of professional brands make. Try mixing those pigments into your lip balm and applying it with a lip brush.

Yes, it does look good! If you are someone with a cool complexion, look for a berry lipstick with cool undertones in them, like blues, purples, or pinks.
