Do you have a favorite color to wear? Whether it\u2019s blue to bring out the color in your eyes, black because it whittles the waist, or green because it complements your skin tone, everyone has their preferences. But when it comes to your smile, it\u2019s a safe bet that no matter which shade you like to wear on your body you\u2019d like your teeth to be as white as possible. Unfortunately, however, things like your diet, age, and bad oral habits like smoking can make them look dull and dingy. Here\u2019s how changing up your lipstick shade can sometimes help tone down the discoloration in your teeth, and how professional whitening<\/a> from your dentist can help give you a gorgeous, glowing grin that goes with everything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Get The Blues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lipsticks with blue undertones can help neutralize a yellow cast on the teeth.  No, you don\u2019t need to look like an extra in a live action production of Frozen<\/em>; just stick to any pink or red in the \u2018cool\u2019 category and avoid shades that tend to lean more orange or yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purple Reign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purple lipsticks aren\u2019t typically for the timid, but if you\u2019re bold enough to rock one, it can help make your teeth look whiter. That\u2019s because much like blue based shades, purples can have the same yellow-canceling effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bountiful Berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to be an expert gardener to look like you just ate a ripe, juicy raspberry right off the vine. In fact, lipstick in these hues is a classic any time of year and can help brighten your complexion and make your teeth and the whites of your eyes look lighter, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Neutral<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not everyone wants to make a dramatic change to the color of their lips. For them, a neutral or nude-toned lipstick can still achieve some whitening benefits without being obvious. Be sure to choose a shade that has either a beige, mauve, or pink undertone and stay away from browns and corals, as they can accentuate any yellow tones in the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shades to Skip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While every complexion is different, and certain shades will look better on you than others, there are a few colors that should be universally avoided if you want to make your teeth look whiter. In that spirit, stay away from lipsticks that are yellow, gold, brown, or orange, and anything that uses them for base or undertones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Wear Any Color with Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Playing around with makeup colors can be a lot of fun, so why restrict which shades you can wear? If you\u2019d like to expand your repertoire and start experimenting with different tones, start at the source. If your teeth look a little less pearly white than you\u2019d like, schedule a consultation for Zoom whitening<\/a> from your dentist. An in-office treatment can remove up to eight shades of discoloration and stains in around an hour, and convenient custom take-home kits can achieve the same results from the comfort of your own home (or anywhere else!) in approximately two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, while it may be fun to experiment with color, when it comes to your teeth the only shade you should be aiming for is white. If you\u2019re ready to reveal a gleaming, glowing grin that goes with everything, speak to your dentist about professional whitening today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
