Nude lips have been on beauty-charts for quite a while and they are not going out of trend any sooner. Nude lips subtly enhance a face and still look elegant. So, being my shopaholic-self and a part of SSU, I planned to do a 10-nude-lipsticks that I personally tried and tested.
What are Nude Lips?
Top Ten Nude Lipsticks and Their Prices
As the word Nude speaks, all those lip colours which resemble the actual colours of lips are called Nude Lip Colors. For Indian skin tones, they are mainly:- Brown shade with pink undertones.
- Pink shade with brown undertones.
- Soft corals with brown undertones.
1. MAC 'Please Me There'
We all know how Nykaa obliged every Indian girl by bringing the most coveted brand online in India.Yes-MAC it is! An international brand brand aspired by many and among top most favourites, MAC is loved by all, including Bollywood actresses and TV Personalities. Ruby Woo, Mehr, Twig, Heroine are some of the most popular nude shade lipsticks by MAC but let me introduce to you a newbie- 'Please Me there'. It’s a nice soft pink shade, looks a little overdone when over-done. But in some time, it settles down on lips. My first purchase from MAC, and it's an absolute delight. Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Medium
PRICE: 15005INR but now Nykaa has the mini versions of all priced at 900INR

2. Maybelline Mysterious Mocha
3. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 103
This Long-lasting range from Signature collection of Kate Moss is better than many Indian drugstorebrands. The lipstick is light pink in shade withthe matte texture and stays for good 4-5 hours. Opposed to
the other nudes with brown undertones, this sheer pink shade will transform the whole look. Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Brown
Price: 275INR but generally runs on discount

This is one ultimate shade that has become my absolute go-to. It comes fromMaybelline - The Powder
Matte range. Crisp, toasted almonds would describe the shade that has pink undertones. 'Touch of Nude'
goes well with almost all Indian skin tones.
Best adorned by skin tones: All skin tones!
PRICE: 450INR but generally runs on discount

5. Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Lip and Cheek Color 'Coffee Lite'This lip shade was a sheer serendipity. I was running to find a nice chocolate shade and thought of giving this lip color a try and liked it.
Dark brown shade with violet undertones makes it an absolute must-have in your vanity. It can be used
in multiple ways -
1. As a lip base, before applying any other shade.
2. This can be used as an alternative to your contour kit for cutting the face.
The good feature is that they have a perfect wand which makes application easier. I prefer to use this shade when I am wearing an outfit in light colurs like a dress.
Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Medium
PRICE: 575INR but generally runs on discount and cost less than 500INR

6. Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Lip and Cheek Color 'Rose Touch' This lip shade was my second buy from this range. It’s a nice mauve shade with brown hues
to it making it wearable at any time of the day. Not only amazed but but its staying-power has
made it one of my quick favourites. 'Rose Touch' uplifts my modd and you can see me wearing it
at home to feel pampered and happy.
Its light texture makes it a great option in place of a lip-base, then top it up with any other
shade or heavy metallic lips which is the other trend crawling up the fashion charts. Also, this onecan be used as a blush or bronzer depending on the skin tone. Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Medium
PRICE: 575INR but generally runs on discount and cost less than 500INR

7. Bella Voste’ Satin Lipstick-Warm Tan Bella Voste’s is relatively a new entrant in the Indian market with a few good products. Their Sheer
crème Lust Lipstick in the shade Warm Tan is a true friend of every girl. The texture is creamy yetstays for long when applied on lips and dusted with a powder. Again, brown shade with pink undertones
goes well with almost all the Indian skin tones. Moderately priced, it will be a cult for all college going
girls.
Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Dark
PRICE: 225INR but generally runs on discount and cost less than 500INR

8. Maybelline Colorshow Lipstick 'Lively Violet'
'Lively Violet' is a beautiful nude lipstick with mauve hues to it from the Maybelline ColorshowCreamy range and is my ultimate favourite. A dupe of Mac Mehr, and can say a little better than
this cult fav MAC lipstick. Its matte texture is creamy and crease-free. Perfect for everyday
wear, this one will surely become your all-time treasured lip color.
Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Medium PRICE: 260INR Buy here
The Body Shop color-crush range is available in full spectrum of only four but ultra-feminine shades
which are moisturising and long-lasting. Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Dark
PRICE: 795INR

10. Lakme Absolute Sculpt Matte Lipstick-Peach Pout Last but not the least, Lakme absolute range has some wonderful shades which just need to be
discovered. Not a very loyal fan of corals, I picked this one as I was messed up with the name of
previously bought lip shade, which Lakme has discontinued that range.
'Peach Pout' is a pleasant coral shade, that adds the right lustre to the lips, making them too
subtle yet too glamorous. With its rosy hue and brown undertones, it has become a part of my go-tolipsticks. After using it, I realised how wrong I was about coral shades. Best adorned by skin tones: Fair to Medium
PRICE: 600INR
