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
