Your eyes are undoubtedly remarkable, but they can sometimes trick you. Optical illusions can make something look one way even if reality is quite different. Companies regularly manipulate images or videos to do this all the time, but even everyday people can use certain tricks to improve their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, most people want to give the impression that they have white teeth because this color implies that teeth are clean, young, and vibrant. But there is a sneaky way to make your pearly whites appear even brighter! If you wear lipstick, you can put on certain shades either to give the illusion of a perfectly white grin or to put it on full display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lipstick Colors That Show Off White Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you want to emphasize the whiteness of your teeth, you need to select shades of lipstick with blue and purple undertones. Here are some colors to look for and consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blue-based red and cool red\u2014Red lipstick is always a smart choice, but you have to choose one with cool tones; otherwise, your teeth will end up looking more yellow than white.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nude\u2014Natural lip shades can make you look effortlessly flawless and make your smile look brighter. It\u2019s a great solution if you prefer more subtle makeup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue\u2014If you\u2019re feeling particularly adventuresome in your makeup, you can rock a pure blue lipstick, which not only will draw attention to your smile but also accentuate your teeth\u2019s brightness more than any other lip color.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lipstick Colors That Make Teeth Look Yellow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While purple and blue-based colors tend to highlight teeth\u2019s whiteness, orange and warm red-based colors may make any tooth discoloration more prominent. In other words, these shades can bring out yellow undertones in your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want your teeth to appear as bright as possible, regardless of the color of your lipstick, professional teeth whitening is your best option. Unlike commercial whitening products you find at the store, the gel your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.williamsburgdentalllc.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">dentist<\/a> provides (whether in-office or in take-home kits) is strong enough to remove up to 10 shades of discoloration. Needless to say, this powerful treatment can give you the confidence to let your smile show and to wear any color of lipstick you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, being aware of how your eyes perceive paired colors can help you have more control over how others perceive you. Ultimately, you get to decide what color lipstick you want to wear, but knowing which shades can highlight your teeth\u2019s whiteness can help you make the impression you want to make on those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williamsburg Dental offers both in-office whitening and take-home kits for patients who seek to whiten their teeth professionally.
