A couple of months back, I did a quick little post on Instagram showing my top 5 nudes for Indian Skin! The link to that is here
It is not easy in selecting the best lipstick for brown skin due to golden or yellow skin undertones. From the article you will be enlightened on best colors and shades of perfect lipstick for you including red, purple and pink lipstick that can also work for medium brown skin.
Till date, that stands my most loved post ever! Almost 40 of you guys saved it, which is a big deal to me! 🙂 I received a lot of requests from you all to do more of these! So here I am, with an updated Top 5 Nudes!
- Sep 10, 2016 Styles from the '90s are back, baby — brown lipstick included! Cinnamon shades, cocoa hues, and rich, dark chocolates are adorning lips left and right, and we're loving just how flattering this color can be on all skin tones. We've rounded up a variety of creamy brown lipsticks in a range of finishes and formulas, so you can find the perfect.
- Mac Lipstick Shades For Fair Skin Tone Women. There are few fundamental principles for buying lipstick for the fair skin tone, color of the lipstick must suits to you skin tone, depending upon the occasion it must be comfortable and long lasting with out leaving any cracks on your lips.
Before you begin reading, I’d like to inform you one thing – the lipsticks in the last post of mine were more of those which could be worn by all skintones, fair, medium, deep! Here, I am including a lot of shades which may be almost too brown and pink for the fairer sex! I do have one shade that would look stunning on all skintones – irrespective of the fact that you are pale or dark! The reason is, I want to make my page as inclusive as possible! So you will find posts for the fair skinned, olive skinned, dark skinned, basically for everyone on this page!
So with that being said and after that really long intro, let’s quickly see what my Top 5 Nude Lipstick picks are for Brown Skintones! 😀
- Colorbar’s Velvet Matte Lipstick in ‘High Tea’
Retailing for just ₹325, this is a stunning brown – nude that would look amazing on deeper skins! It is a velvet/soft matte and looks amazing, especially with smokey eyes! For the lighter skinned beauties, this would be a great brown, perfect for this time of the year, when everyone brings out their dark lipsticks and deeper eyeshadows!
2. Nelf USA’s Lipstick in ‘VT 21 Amaze’
Priced at a very affordable ₹250, this has to be the best priced lipstick in this list! I came across this brand almost 3 years ago at a mall! And it has now launched on Nykaa as well! While the price and the name of the brand might make you skeptical about the ingredients or quality of the product, I read all of that and only then put it in this list! This lipstick literally is just like any Maybelline or Lakme lipstick that you might own! Stunning pink colour for fair and wheatish skin and a great nude for darker skins, really good longevity and staying power, and a boon for the pocket too! If you’re still skeptical, do give it a swatch if you ever come across this brand. And you’d be amazed as well! Haha, see what I did there? 😉
3. Maybelline Lip Polish in ‘Glam 13’
When I had initially seen this at my local Health and Glow, I refused to even Swatch it. It looks like a muddy brown-pink in the tube, which put me off instantly. However, the sales rep there finally made me swatch it and omg! This is such a lovely nude gloss, I can’t even tell you! Priced at ₹450, this is a great MLBB gloss that you can just swipe on your lips and go! It would look great on all skintones because of the prominent pink undertones it has! Lovely colour. Must try if you like nudes AND glosses!
4. Lakme 9to5 Lipstick in ‘Brownie Point’
This is the shade from the original 9to5, but it has been relaunched with a better formula in the 9to5 Primer Plus Matte Collection by Lakme! A neutral brown colour, this would work amazing as a brown nude for darker skintones or on anyone who prefers brown nudes over pink nudes! On fair to even medium skin though, this would look like a true reddish brown! So if you’re up for a brown, especially for this Fall-Winter seasons, grab this! It is also almost always on a discount on Nykaa as well!
5. MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in ‘Creme in your Coffee’
Anyone who knows me would know that this HAD to appear in my list! I even did a blog post reviewing this stunning colour! You’ve got to give this a shot if you’re olive skinned or darker! It’s an amazing MLBB colour which I have almost finished (which is super rare for me btw – I never finish lipsticks) Highly recommend you to check it out if you have the budget of ₹1500!
Overall, if you’d ask me – what are the absolute favourites of yours – I’d say if you’re on a budget – Colorbar’s High Tea and if not, MAC’s Creme in your Coffee (obv)!

Makeup is love and so is MAC ? .Today’s post is all about some gorgeous MAC lipstick shades that will look amazing on anyone with Indian skin tones. First let me share two little tips with you all.
- While choosing or selecting your lip shades when you go to any makeup store, it is advisable that you don’t judge the shade under the chrome lights that normally every store has. Just put on that shade you are after, come out of the store and then check it. It works best under natural light as you know the actual shade and its undertones.
- To pull off your lipstick nicely, a lip liner is needed to do justice to the shade you are wearing. So it is important that you apply lip liners. They not only define your lips but also stop your lipstick from bleeding.
So, lets get straight away to my top favourite MAC lipsticks for Indian skin tones: I will start from the lighter tones and move towards the darker ones.
NUDE SHADES
VELVET TEDDY: ( Matte Finish) It has a purply pink tone to it. The shade looks absolutely gorgeous if you do smokey eyes and choose to wear some cool tones for your clothes. Dramatic eye makeup is advisable to pull off this shade otherwise it looks a bit washed out on its own. The shade looks amazing on someone from lighter to medium skin tones.
PERSISTENCE: ( Matte Finish) Its like a nudish brown. That perfect nude shade which you can wear everyday for work, being a nude it does not make you look washed out because of the browny undertones rather than pinky and peachy. It again looks amazing with smokey eyes.
TWIG: (Satin Finish) Pinkish nude which is subtle and not very bright. This shade looks absolutely gorgeous on any skin tone. It is kind of a purply pink. It looks beautiful with white dresses and will make your makeup look very fresh if you are planning to wear a nude shade for an afternoon tea with your cool toned clothes. This is a trusted shade, use it with confidence.
TAUPE: ( Matte Finish) I guess it is no news that taupe is one of my favourite shades in MAC.The shade can be described as a muted reddish- brown. It looks amazing on people between NC35- NC40 of MAC’s studio fix compact. I use it all day everyday. It goes so well with all my outfits. Whether in the morning or night time, this colour looks gorgeous.
MEHR: ( Creamy & Smooth Finish) Mehr looks beautiful on any skin tone. One thing definitely worth trying with Mehr is to go for a dramatic eye makeup look to accentuate the lipstick on your lips. It goes very well with smokey eyes other wise you can feel a little bit washed out as it is a bluish pink tone. This shade can be used as an everyday colour for work, lunch dates and night out plans.

ALL FIRED UP: (Matte Finish) It is a reddish pink with blue tones, such a gorgeous and vibrant pink. It brightens up the skin tone making it look very fresh and adds an oomph factor to your overall look. It is a great shade if you are planning to wear a pink lipstick for your wedding. This shade is always a great choice for night outs and parties.
REBEL : (Satin Finish) Rebel is a unique shade, more berry toned than pink and this is one such colour which looks amazing on any skin tone and anybody can pull off this colour with ease. Though it looks very purply but on application you can see its actual colour which is very feminine.
FLAT OUT FABULOUS : (Matte Finish) It’s kind of purplish pink and super pigmented. It is universally a very flattering shade, bold and bright. It instantly brightens up the face.
UP THE AMP: (Amplified Creme Finish) MAC describes this shade as “ Lavender Violet”. It has a very rich creamy finish, easy on lips, pigmentation is good which I like on my lipsticks.
RED SHADES
RUBY WOO: (Matte Finish) It’s a bright red with blue tones to it. Absolutely loved by all MAC lovers. How to format external hard drive for mac and pc free. No matter what skin tone you are in, Ruby Woo just brightens up the entire look.
RUSSIAN RED: (Matte Finish) I will say it’s an orangish red with blue tones if you compare to Ruby Woo. This is one of my absolute favourites after Ruby Woo in MAC red shades. This colour looks bright on my skin tone and it is super pigmented. Being in the matte finish category, it is not at all drying rather feels smooth on the lips on application. This is one such colour which looks gorgeous on photos.
DIVA : (Matte Finish) This can be a staple to any Indian skin tone. It’s a reddish-burgundy. You can pull off the colour very easily as maroon shades are liked by many of us and it gives a freshness to the entire makeup look. A perfect shade for autumnwinter or any wedding season.
I hope this post will help you choose your colour the next time you visit a MAC store!! ?
Have a nice day everyone and thanks for dropping by
