Coffee and/or wine stains, certain medical conditions, and any lapses in oral hygiene may contribute to tooth discoloration, according to the Cleveland Clinic. But this doesn’t mean you need to throw out all of your lip products. In fact, the right hue may help.
“Choose more red-based hues, like pinks and red-purples,” Brown says. “These will better bring out the white in your teeth because they have cool, not warm, undertones.”
Some of my favorite hues from her brand (and some of Brown’s past recommendations) include The Lip Pencil in shades Nudist, Nude Pink, or if you’re feeling daring, Ruby or Wine.

As for what colors to avoid? Well, Brown says: “Definitely forgo orange, yellow, gold, and bronze shades if your teeth are yellowing, as these warm tones will reflect the very color you are trying to downplay.”
