Diwali is fast descending upon us, and all I can say is — you need a lipstick that feels like it’s handmade for you. Because can you fathom wearing a shade that doesn’t make you feel like you have your life together (at least temporarily)? C’mon — lipsticks are pretty empowering, and choosing the right one for yourself is part of the process. That’s why we’ve curated a Diwali-exclusive list composed of the best, most versatile line-up of lipstick shades for the festival. Some are power-packed with buttery-soft textures while others are turbo-charged with pigments that boast a high-shine gleam. You do your choosing. Check ’em out!
Diwali Edit: 6 Lipsticks For 6 Types Of Gworls
For The Clean Girl
This lip-plumping gloss is endowed with a star-studded veil of shimmer that puckers up your pout instantly. It features a high-shine, formula that glides on effortlessly, and hydrates and moisturises your lips with each application. You can punctuate your lips’ gloss-laden ambitions with flushes of pink on the cheeks, and drench your lashes in mascara to play into the clean-girl aesthetic.
For The Maestro In Minimalism
Hello, minimalist. I have something for you. This matte-textured lipstick. It proffers the prettiest shade of barely-there nude to your lips, and boasts a buttery-soft, cream-like consistency that dispatches just the right amount of pigment across the pout. Not just that — it’s infused with the richness of lip-loving honey nectar that moisturises and nourishes extensively. Imagine how stunning it’d look in conjunction with a warm-toned blusher unravelling itself all over your cheeks. Stunning.
For The Old School Glamazon
This berry-red, high-shine lipstick boasts a velvet-textured finish that feels luxurious on the lips. It’s dreamy, light-as-air, and turbo-charged with tropical oil that makes your pout feel petal-soft and supple. It rewards you with a soft-sheen, matte-textured finish, and offers medium-to-full buildable coverage. Marry this blood-red with cat-eye flicks, and you’re done.
For The Beauty Mogul
If you’re looking for something a little off-beat and unconventional, this luxe-looking violet is it for you. This one’s matte, ultra-pigmented, and infused with a lot of lip-loving benefits. It boasts a purple-ish pay-off and is enriched with Maracuja Oil to prevent sun-induced damage and collagen breakdown. It’s also cruelty-free and vegan!
For The Lover Of Multitasking Products
This balm-textured stain is the multi-tasking maestro you didn’t know you need. This lip-and-cheek tint delivers a burst of colour to the face. Formulated with Jojoba Oil, it’s quite the switch-up from lip bullets and lipsticks. It’s soft and delicate on the skin, and a much-needed break from conventional formulations.
For The ’00s Enthusiast
This chrome lip-gloss is exactly what you need. Reminiscent of frosty lips from the early ’00s, it boasts high-coverage and multi-dimensional pigments that make your lips look almost metallic. This one’s paraben-free, vegan and gluten-free. What are you waiting for?
