Five Budget Pink Lipsticks for Indian Skin Tones
Hi every one :)
Pink lipsticks are must needed in a girl’s vanity. They are
perfect for a girly, soft look, a date night makeup or to jazz your everyday
low key makeup, or even to pull a glitzy outfit together.
Finding pink lipsticks I like was not easy for me, most I came
across were very blue toned and hardly didn’t have enough red undertones in
them; hence whenever I wore them they looked flat and sallow on me. I asked my sister (she’s medium-dark) about
her favorite pink lipstick, and she sadly said she didn’t have any she liked
because simply, she didn’t find one that looked good on her. So after copious
research later, here I’m with five budget pink lipsticks that will flatter Indian skin tones.
P.S: You’ll notice most of the shades having a mild red
undertone. Somehow red undertones compliment warm under toned Indian skin tones
much better than cool toned lipsticks, which can make complexions look sallow
and underwhelming.
So without any ado; here I go.
Lakme Absolute Gloss Addict Lipstick in Desert Rose:
The perfect light pink lipstick for light to medium skin
tones. The color is a mix of pink with slight hints of red, very wearable. The texture
is glossy, balmy, creamy, the product almost hugs your lips; a lot like Mac crème
sheen range of lipsticks. The lipstick comes in a very classy transparent
grey-black-white packaging which is travel friendly. The color doesn’t last
more than 3.5 hours on me, but with a lip liner and a primer underneath, the wear
time extends by an hour or so. The only con this has is that it washes darker skin
tones out and the outrageous pricing!
Price: Rs. 800 for 4.2 gms (outrageous for Lakme but buy
online, like I did—I bought for Rs. 640, definitely worth it)

Another gorgeous coral pink (pink with a hint of red). Not high
on the ultramoist factor but these are very pigmented. The texture is matte, long
staying but clings to dry patches, hence a lip balm underneath is essential. It
stays beyond meals and with a lip liner, it stayed for around 7 hours on me,
lunch and snacking included. The lipstick has a very vanilla fragrance which I love,
but the packaging is a con: a part of the lipstick sticks out of the bullet and
if you are not careful you might just nick the lipstick, however the cover is
very cute!

Colorbar Lip Definer in Berry Rose:
Rs. 599 for a lip liner! I was shaking my head when I bought
it, however the texture and color blew me away! On lighter tones this rich pink
color veers towards magenta, however on medium dark to dark skin tones it looks
like a super flattering rose pink. The texture and pigmentation are on par with
MAC lip liners, that’s just how good these are. They are matte yet have a
slightly creamy feeling which ensures the liner goes smoothly on lips without any
tugging. Highly recommend this to medium to dark skin tones; I can assure you won’t
be disappointed!
Price: Rs. 599 for 1.45gms (might seem overpriced but very
worth it)

Maybelline Lip Polish in Glam 6:
Maybelline lip polishes were very popular since they
released; and with good reason- opaque glossy color, highly pigmented, very
balmy and hydrating yet stay long, and even when the gloss is gone, they leave
a very pretty stain! This color in particular looks very dark and plumy in the
tube, yet it transforms to a rich, deep berry color which flatters medium dark
and darker skin tones to a T! Lighter skin tones might find this color vampy
and too dark though. I love the
packaging as well, chubby transparent tubes with a classy metal covering!
Price: Rs. 450 for 4 grams (a steal!)

L’Oreal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Aphrodite Scarlet:
This particular lipstick is very dearly loved by the women
in my family, all of them, simply because this lipstick flaunts so many skin
tones, from very fair to deep and suitable for all ages. The pigmentation is
light to medium, depending on the amount of product on lips. The texture is
hydrating, slightly glossy and leave a pretty stain post meals (which gets
deeper on reapplication), even though the balmy feeling is gone. The color is a
watermelon pink, a very flattering mix of blue and red tones. I love the fact
that the stain is very much buildable and doesn’t cling to unflattering patches
on lips. I highly, highly recommend this to anyone searching for a flattering
pink lipstick and is confused; this looks so good on everyone!
Price: Rs. 550 for 2.8 grams
