A lip piercing, especially worn with an on-trend hoop, draws a lot of attention to your pretty pout.  But when people have a looksie at your luscious lips, is your color combo of choice going to fall flat?  Never fear; we’ve got the solution to lip jewelry color woes right here:

If you like to light up a room in retro red, black is the lip jewelry color of choice. This combination of vibrant red and neutral, unobtrusive black holds attention because of contrast while maintaining a classic sophistication that perfectly compliments your retro look. Just be sure to offset your stunning lip color with the right texture hoop.  (If you wear matte lipstick, go for shining titanium jewelry, and if you go for glossy lips, keep jewelry matte or subdued, rather than blingy.)

For natural girls who love to lace their lips with nude shades, solid stainless steel is the ticket.  Just take a look at our neutral lipped models.  The current trend in peachy nude tones is a glossy lip, but in this case a shiny finish on your jewelry will compliment, rather than overpower. Gems can work too, and for this particular look, dark jewel tones are best.  Just don’t forget to smile.

And last but not least, for those who prefer pastoral swaths of inky pink on their pouts, your surefire shot at attention grabbing greatness is contrasting white.  Shades of powder and cream keep your rosy lips feminine and hint at a little wild streak, especially when paired with black clothing or accessories.

Talk about lip service.
