Hello Beauties,
No matter what ages or skin tones we are into, we all love to put on some lipsticks to conquer the world. For me, lipstick is that only makeup that I never mind wearing any day.
Being a sister of a gorgeous dark lady, I can realize the struggle of finding the right lipstick color for a woman with Melanin-rich skin. My sister literally found it a task when it comes to buy a lipstick for herself.
So, today in this post I’m going to help all the dark skin beauties to find the perfect lip shade to compliment their skin tones.
Yes, I have jotted down a list of lipsticks that will look striking on any dusky beauties out there.
I will be sharing a list of 10 lipstick shades in 5 categories such as Nude, Pink, Red, Purple, and Wine (2 lipsticks in each category). So, let’s get started!
Nudes
Nykaa matte to last liquid lipstick in the shade Chai 18:
Lightweight, matte and uber gorgeous shade Chai 18 from Nykaa Matte to Last liquid lipstick range is one of those striking nude shade for dusky beauties. Packed with pigment these liquid lipsticks go opaque in just a single swipe. They have ultra-thin consistency which glides on the lips without tugging or pulling. The formula dries down to the non-stretchy striking matte finish. Long stay, the transfer-proof formula is the usp of Nykaa Matte to liquid lipsticks.
Now, coming down to the shade Chai 18, it is a true brown shade with neutral undertone. I feel it would be the best Nude lipstick color for melanin-rich ladies.
Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip color in the shade MB11 Expresso Shot:
As the name suggests, Lakme 9- 5 Primer + Matte Lip color in the shade Expresso Shot is a deep coffee brown shade with a cool undertone, hence it is the perfect browny nude for the people with dark skin tone. The formula has both benefits of primer and color which is why it glides on the lips smoothly and goes opaque in 2-3 swipes. It gives a soft matte finish that stays comfortable on the lips for more than hours without touch-ups. The formula neither dries out lips nor sit down into lines.
