Makeup trends may come and go, but the one product remains a timeless staple: lipstick. It’s been said before and it's worth repeating — lipstick can make or break your look. It boosts confidence, lifts your mood, enhances your style, and helps you make a bold statement wherever you go.
While you might think your collection is complete, there’s always room for more. Especially with so many lipstick colour trends and types of lipstick finishes to experiment with, the options are endless. No matter your skin tone, there’s a perfect lipstick colour trend out there for you. From rich browns and classic reds to vibrant pinks and soft peaches, from matte and glossy to creamy and satin finishes, the variety is never-ending. Out of the many lipstick colour trends to try, here are 7 essential shades every girl should have in her makeup bag.
Out of all the lipstick colour trends, there’s just something about the timeless allure of a classic red lip. This iconic shade has the power to make heads turn and help you make a powerful statement. Whether you’re channelling the glamour of old Hollywood, à la Marilyn Monroe, or the bold confidence of modern pop icons like Rihanna, red lipstick can elevate any look, from a wedding to a regular day at the office.
But just choosing just any random red lipstick isn’t it; you have to pick a red lipstick shade that complements your skin tone. A berry-toned red will look great on dark-skinned women, while a scarlet red is the best lipstick shade for fair skin. But rest assured there’s a red lipstick shade for every Indian skin tone.
