14 FebBest Nude Lipsticks for East Indian Women/Medium Tan to Darker Skin Tones

I have met quite a few Indian girls and some darker skin tone girls asking me how to find the best nude lipsticks.  It is a challenge to find that perfect nude lipstick for any skin tone but especially challenging for tan to darker skin tones.

Few pointers to look into before purchasing your nude  lipstick…

  • Under tones to your skin color:  yellow, bronze, reddish,
  • Color of your lips:  deep pink, deep plum, dark brown, or two tone (your inner lips are a lighter than outer lips, usually your outer lips are a lot darker)
  • What kind of nude are you comfortable wearing, where you don’t look washed out.

Tips for perfect nude

Lip-liners are a must, especially 2 to 3 shades darker than the lipstick color,  especially if you have a two tone or darker brown tone to your lips.

Lip-gloss adds more a radiance and plumping effect to your lips and you  don’t look washed out.

How put on the nude lips
  • make sure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized
  • dap a little foundation on your lips before applying the lipstick
  • apply  lipstick
  • after applying your lipstick, outline your lips with the pencil.  When out lining your lips , make sure you are  shading the outer corners  of your lips, kind of like  feathering motion.   Don’t be too heavy with the lip-liner (it is a good idea to use a lip brush for blending the liner with lipstick), the idea is just to outline the lips  without making it look like an Oreo cookie.
  • finish by applying the lip-gloss  to the center of the lips just a little to give it a glossy effect.
