Hey You!
We all have that constant
dilemma while we shop about having a GO TO lippie. Today’s post is just what
you need. I have put together 7 lip shades that will look great on most desi
skin tones. I know not everyone prefers wearing bright shades, neither do I. So,
today’s post is a combination of nudes and pinks.
Let’s dig in.
1.
Nykaa –
12M (Taupe Thrill)
A
recent buy and I am already in love with it . One swipe and you get an opaque
application. The wear is very comfortable and is a satin-ish finish although it
states to be matte. It lasts for a good 4-5 hours and then fades leaving an
even stain on your lips. Great for everyday wear.
Retails for: Rs 399
2.
Revlon
Matte Balm- Sultry 225
This is
a cult lipstick. It’s present in almost every girl’s kit. Its a very subtle
pink mauve that gives you the ‘my lips but better’ look.
Retails for: Rs 800
3.
Nykaa-11M
(Naughty Nude)
Also a
recent buy, however it is more on the pink based nude. There is a pinkish
undertone to this lip color.
Retails for: Rs 399
4.
H&M
Beauty- 005 (Rust Me)
If you
haven’t checked out H&M’s cosmetic line you should! Click here to view a
complete review of the products. As the name states this color is more inclined
on the rustic brown side. Great for dusky skinned girls.
5.
Maxfactor-350
This is
my FAVORITE. The liquid lipstick comes with a doe foot applicator which makes
the application super easy. The lipstick stays on for forever: P it can get a
little drying on the lips so, moisturize your lips well beforehand.
Retails for: Rs 1050
6.
Mikyajy-302
A great
lip color for everyday wear. A preppy natural pink, that compliments every skin
color. A very moisturizing formula but, requires reapplication every hour.
7.
Lakme
9to5-Rose Touch
This
comes in the lakme 9to5 weightless mousse range. This works as lip and cheek
stain. They have a few other colors in this range as well but all come in
similar packaging so you will have to look for the shades name to
differentiate. This color is a nude shade with purple undertones and is great
on the lips. Very moisturizing and stays on well.
Retails for: Rs 450
These lipsticks are the
absolute best and can be your go to lip shades regardless of the occasion.
P.S: I did plan to show the
swatches as well but, my hand just won’t be pretty for the camera: P.
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
