Top 10 Vibrant Lipsticks for Indian Women

Lipsticks! They’re the one thing that you can find in any beauty seeker’s vanity or purse at all times! A great lipstick can turn a good outfit into an awesome look and a boring day to one infused with compliments and admiration. Lipsticks for Indian skin tone are the best way to add some glam and shine to your ensemble.

Every lipstick online has certain attributes - some are creamy and glossy, others are 100% matte and some are in between. It depends on what one is looking for and what texture feels most comfortable. A lot of us look for natural looking lipstick shades for Indian skin to suit our skin shades as well as weather changes.

However, that does not mean that we need to wear dull and nondescript shades of lipstick! Wheatish to dusky skin tones are the spectrum of Indian skin color and there are many lipstick shades for Indian skin that are bright, vibrant and bold. They go with ethnic wear, festive wear, everyday Indian formals, Western outfits and indo western styles as well. All you need is to carry these off with confidence and joy.
