Whoever said makeup was artifice did not really delve into the intricacies of it. Makeup is not just painting the town, or rather, your face red or an array of shades. It is the art of enhancing your beauty. The definition of beauty itself has evolved over the years, for good. From defying the crude old definition of white and perfect, beauty has gone multiracial, multicultural, and gender neutral, to be more inclusive and less intrusive. Makeup is no longer just for girls, or it is not just a woman who walks across the counter and asks for that dark lipstick you have been craving after. Makeup is now an expression, for all, for everyone. Regardless of the gender you identify with, you can flaunt shades of red matte lipstick or even natural looking lipstick shades, as and when you want.
Makeup has not only evolved in terms of inclusivity, but also when it comes to the ingredients. Not only are the practices that have gone clean, but also what goes inside those tubes and sticks that lend colour to your face and life. When the makeup trend started, it was all about long lasting lipstick and eye makeup and nothing about what goes in it to make it stay long, no matter how harmful. Parabens and leads could cause cancer, but they still went in to increase pigmentation and longevity. Soon, as the world evolved, there was a need for clean makeup. Organic lipsticks, paraben free lipsticks, etc were needed for good reason. But, not at the cost of colour. We needed lipstick that stays on all day, but with good and clean ingredients — that have been sourced ethically and include none of the toxic ingredients.
We needed non toxic lipsticks, and the need was a fair one. Thankfully, the brands listened and complied. Soon, there was a flurry of organic lipsticks. But again, the texture was where they were failing. The red liquid lipstick you so wanted to apply was charring and drying your lips. So, now we needed the best matte liquid lipstick that could provide colour, comfort and care for a long time. The one that could last your date or your meeting, could surpass and suffice in all the makeup looks you create, in a clean and efficient manner.
And so, we went a step ahead and curated just the right list for you, of good lipstick shades that would suit all the skintones of anyone who likes to apply the colour matte, across the spectrum of shades and textures, but clean ones. Let’s go.
This are 6 lipstick shades for every women who loves their makeup
#1 Kiro Beauty Super Butter Lip Lacquer — Pink Apple
We are so amused and fascinated by the vegan lipsticks that come in various shades of red matte lipstick, or even the best natural looking lipstick shades, that we often forget the next best matte liquid lipstick or a lipstick of another texture that’s a perfect mix of both the lipshades. Well, not literally, but when you pick a pink matte lipstick, you are picking the best of both worlds — the charm of a natural lip colour and the glam of a red colour lipstick. It’s a subtle pop of colour that you can sport at any time and occasion, whether you are going for that dating look or adventure look, or even that outdoor touring look or even an office look. Pink Apple is the perfect shade, that speaks of that apple blush you get when you see your crush passing by. It has memories of crushed apple’s juice running on your lips, in the deepest tint and with the best hydration that comes from five unique butters. Pink Apple shade of the Super Butter range may not exactly be a matte lip colour, but it is a long stay lipstick. In fact, it is a lipstick that stays on all day like creams and peaches on your lips, and leaves it soft and hydrated even when you remove it. It’s clean and comfortable.

#2 Kiro Beauty Super Butter Lip Lacquer — Stone Lily
Not exactly one of the liquid matte lipstick shades again, but a soft, long stay lipstick that would have your heart in no time. Stone Lily is a perfect mauve-nude that should be a part of your best natural looking lip colors set, even if not of the matte liquid lipstick set. This shade has the perfect pinkish hue that you crave for, designed to last a long time, from day to night, which is what makes it a perfect long stay lipstick. Plus, it is made using five butters like the murumuru butter, jojoba butter, mango butter, etc, that ensure that every time you swipe this beauty on your lips, it applies like a balm and stays on like a long stay colour matte lipstick, in a gorgeous dark lipstick type of a tint. It is a lacquer and lipstick rolled into one gorgeous combination for you, with a shade that would flatter you all the more if you are a fan of natural looking lipstick shades that you can carry from day to night, no matter the occasion. Stone Lily is the floral delight you want on your lips, and we aren’t exaggerating.

Who wouldn’t recommend the texture and the shades that are just perfect for all Indian skintones, across all the diverse weathers and demographics? You get the drift, don’t you? And then, we are here to fulfill your wish, with the best nude shade in a matte colours format. This one is not a red matte liquid lipstick, but one of the nude matte liquid lipsticks that you would want in your lipstick makeup kit for sure. Nutmeg Nude, as the name suggests, is a spicy nude perfect for any occasion, at any time of the day. The colour may be a light one, but the finish isn’t. With its intense one-stroke pigmentation, this shade of smudge proof lipstick is one of those paraben free lipsticks that would nourish your lips but not at the cost of colour.

#4 Kiro Beauty Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lip — Tropical Fuschia
Now is the perfect pink matte lipstick that you have been waiting for, from an army of organic lipsticks or paraben free lipsticks. We thought to throw this in right in the middle, so you get the shade of your dreams right when you want it, next to the dreamy nudes in various textures that we have been talking about until now. But seriously, when you talk about good lipstick shades, you have to ensure that you have one of every single one — a hot red, a subtle one, a pink, a nude, and maybe a wine for good measure. Anyway, talking about this shade, it is everything that the name suggests. Tropical Fuschia, as the name suggests, is a perfect shade that reminds you of the tropical seasons when you sit by the warmest places and sip on your mocktails that drip the same intensity in taste as your lip colour lipstick does in terms of colour. Plus, again, this is one of those liquid lipsticks that come with a breathable and super light texture that goes comfortably on the lips and does not feel patchy or dry at all, courtesy the oils present in it. It stays on for a long time, making it a perfect part of your liquid lipsticks set. Pick this one up now if you are creating an army of clean and matte paraben free lipsticks.
