As much as we adore “nude lipsticks,” no one can deny that finding one that suits our Indian skin is backbreaking. The ability of nude lipstick to complete both an everyday office look and a glamorous party look is astounding. Because Indian skin tones come in a variety of shades, the ideology of one shade fits all does not work in a diverse country like India.
While finding the right nude lipstick can be difficult, mistakes are unavoidable. Some people buy too light nude lipstick, which looks like a washed-out zombie, while others buy too dark, which looks more like chocolate brown lipstick. Many brands cater to single-tone lips, which means having even-toned lips, but the story of our lips is completely different when it comes to our brown Indian skin tones. Because we have multiple tones, hyperpigmentation, discolouration, and other issues, single-tone lipstick is ineffective for us. Lipsticks that are more pigmented and opaque are required for Indian skin tones.
Our team has tried, tested, and formulated shades that look great on Indian skin tones to help you find your nude lipstick soulmate. We were conscious that because nude lipstick is intended for daily use, it should be free of toxins and parabens to avoid any long-term adverse effects. All of the lipsticks in the collection are infused with natural ingredients to nourish and hydrate your lips, and they are long-lasting to keep up with your busy day.
#1 Recognizing Undertones
You need to know your undertones to buy any makeup products for your complexion, such as lipsticks, foundation, blush, highlighter, and so on.
There are three different types of skin undertones:
- Warm undertone
- Cool undertone
- Neutral undertone
The methods for determining whether you have warm, cool, or neutral undertones are as follows.
Wrist Test:
This is the traditional wrist test. Examine the colour of your veins very closely to determine your undertone.
- Warm: You have warm undertones if your veins are green or have an olive tone to them.
- Cool: Cool undertones are when the veins have a blue or purple tone to them.
- Neutral: Neutral undertones are difficult to detect in this test because it’s not clear which colour would be dominant in your veins, and you may be ideal with all undertones.
Jewellery Test:
As a test, take a piece of gold or silver jewellery and place it near your face or skin as a test.
- Warm: Gold jewellery has warm undertones. If it makes your skin glow or complements your skin well, you have warm undertones.
- Cool: If silver jewellery enhances your appearance, then you have cool undertones.
- Neutral: If your skin looks good with both gold and silver jewellery, you have a neutral undertone.
People with warm undertones should look for products that have more peach and coral tones since they will complement their skin. A warm-toned complexion is more common among Indians with brown skin.
Look for items with a more pink undertone when it comes to cool undertones. People with light or fair complexions are more likely to have cool tones, so having lipstick and other products with a pink undertone will make them the best nude lipstick for fair skin.
Nude lipstick comes in different tones (pink, brown, and mauve), types (cream and liquid), and finishes (matte, satin, and gloss). The following collection is a combination of different formulas and finishes so that there is something for everyone.
