Everyone wants to have pearly white teeth, but one too many cups of coffee and tea can keep us far away from that. On top of that, some lipstick colors can actually make our teeth look duller than usual, so choosing the right shade is essential to having bright, white teeth. These lipstick colors are makeup artist-approved to keep your teeth looking white and bright!

red lipstick

Red lipstick is a classic go-to choice for most women, and for good reason. It helps make your teeth look so much whiter! According to Miami-based makeup artist, Marissa Nemes, a bold, opaque red can make your teeth look up to two shades lighter!

dark purple

A plum lipstick can either be your best friend or your worst enemy when it comes to brighter teeth. Try going for a purple shade with pink undertones for a teeth-whitening effect.

bright pink

If you're going on a big night out, try using a bright pink for bright teeth! But, you need to make sure you go for pinks with bluer undertones instead of yellow to make your teeth look whiter.

nude

If you're going for a more natural look, a nude lipstick with pink undertones is definitely the way to go! Nemes alsorecommendds going for a shimmery color over ultra-mattes for a glistening effect.
