Article Synopsis
- There is limited research on lip color diversity compared to skin color, but the demand for nude lip shades necessitates understanding and modifying lip colors in the cosmetic industry.
- This study aimed to explore lip color differences among Caucasian, African American, and Hispanic women using specialized color measurement technology on 410 participants.
- The findings revealed a wide range of lip colors, especially among African American women, leading to the identification of 11 distinct lip tones that could guide the creation of more inclusive nude lipstick products.
Introduction: The lips are of significant interest among the facial features for self-perception and social interactions. Such perceptions could rely in part upon the contrast in color between the lips and the surrounding skin. In contrast to skin color, lip color ethnic diversity measurement provides a challenge and is less documented in the literature, most likely due primarily to challenges in measurement based upon the lip characteristics of size and contour.

Methods: Lips properties were measured and compared through four groups of women (young with normal menses, aged with normal menses, aged and menopaused, aged, menopaused receiving hormonal replacement therapy). The following parameters were recorded: sebum excretion rate on the forehead.
Background: Age-induced skin color variations are of great importance and incite increasing demand for cosmetic products to improve the appearance. The evaluation by clinicians or estheticians of the efficacy of skin care products is particularly difficult and requires the help of color charts.
Purpose: To standardize this kind of evaluation, we have developed a new Skin Color Chart.
