A lot of ladies always ask me what shade of lipstick I am wearing when they see my pictures.
Though, I am always happy to tell them the name of the lipstick, I always recommend that they try something that matches their skin tone.
Especially when it comes to the brides, they’re very confused when it comes to picking out shades that suit them, even on the big day.
Now, it is pretty important to wear lipsticks, it’s an essential component of your makeup. It gives your face a little color even if you don’t have any other makeup on, it brightens the face.
It’s imperative while buying a lipstick that you apply it on your lips to know the exact shade, our lips are differently colored too, so it’s best to try it this way.
Besides, the quintessential reds & pinks, when we talk about nude colors, there are different shades that suit the different types of skin tones. For some a pinkish one, and for the rest an orange undertone, to avoid looking pale.
To make life simple, I have listed down 9 lipsticks that suit the Indian skin tone universally.
They are tried and tested and definitely belong in your makeup kit.
