Hola, peeps!
Lipstick love is eternal. Can you tell me about one girl who doesn’t love that pop of colour on her lips? Every girl has a number of lipstick shades in her vanity but sometimes it happens, that some lipsticks don’t suit our skin tone. Either they are too dark for us or too light for our skin tone. Indian skin tone is probably one of the most versatile skin tones we have on our planet with people ranging from very fair to very dark!
Lipstick brands, when making lipsticks should consider all skin tones and make something for everyone. And we are here to compile. Here’s a compilation of Top 25 Lipstick shades that are apt for Indian skin tones. Enjoy!
Top 25 Lipsticks for Indian Skin tone:
Red Family:
- Lakme 9 to 5 Red Coat
Price: 475 INR
Lakme 9 to 5 Red Coat is a dupe to Ruby Woo (I feel so!) but is a little less matte than the classic red lipstick. It is apt for those who have very dry lips and are not at all comfortable wearing matte lipsticks.
- Mac Ruby Woo
Price: 1500 INR
This is the cult classic red shade for all skin types. Ruby Woo is a dream for all lipstick lovers. Though it has a number of dupes, I feel this lipstick is unmatchable. The retro matte finish adds to its charm.
