Okay, I am a self-confessed beauty junkie (duh!). But more than that, I am a lip everything hoarder! On a good (or bad) day you can ransack my bag and be sure you will find at least 4 different lip colours, 2 glosses, 5 lip balms and Narnia. I’m not kidding, it might be in there. Anyway, coming back to the point, I love lippies. For someone who says that I do not wear lipstick as often as I would like. But, here I have my top go to lipsticks for every mood and occasion and why I love them, in no particular order! I am not going to hurt their feelings.
1. Avon True Color Perfectly Matte Lipstick – Mauve Matters
I have recently been into more muted tones, bordering on the mauve and nude pink spectrum. This one is a gorgeous shade and a very recent purchase that I am absolutely in love with! It is just the right blend of pink and mauve that looks brighter during the day and muted at night.
Price: ₹ 479. Buy it here.
2. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick – Mesmerizing Magenta
This was a birthday purchase this year and I think I could be into bright colours just because of this beauty. This cool toned pink is perfect for any look. The texture is smooth and the finish is flawless.
Price: ₹ 575. Buy it here.
3. Faces Go Chic Lipstick – Candyfloss 213
This is an oldie but oh so goodie! This borderline nude pink has a cool undertone without making it look frosty. What I love is the sheer buildable texture that you can maneuver according to your comfort.
Price: ₹ 275. Buy it here.
4. Nykaa So Matte Lipstick – Caramel Mocha 21M
This is my nude shade. It is just the right nude that has taken ages to find. It is an MLBB shade and the texture is matte but not drying.
Price: ₹ 399. Buy it here.
5. Bobbi Brown Art Stick – Electric Pink
This one is worth every penny guys! This is quite similar to the magenta but has a more muted undertone. This versatile stick can be worn as sheer or as stark as you’d like. I usually just dab it over my everyday lip balm for a pop of colour.
Price: ₹ 2,600. Buy it here.
6. Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color – Tangerine Fluff
This was an impulse buy, yes I liked the packaging. But this lip tint is surprisingly heavily pigmented and the doe foot applicator has me falling in love. This one product in my bag can literally add colour to my entire face.
Price: ₹ 600. Buy it here.
7. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick – Make Me Blush
The texture of this lipstick with shock you! It is matte, moisturising but gives you a powdery finish. This voodoo is beyond me and the warm coral-pink-nude is totally a shade I go for if I need a bit of colour without going bright. Again a dab of it is sometimes enough.
Price: ₹ 500. Buy it here.
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Liquid Lipstick – Candy Apple
Every girl needs a classic red and this one is mine! Honestly, I am not a red lip kinda girl and I seldom go out sporting a full blown red lip, but if I do Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick is my best friend. It won’t budge or stain, it will just stay right where you left it.
Price: ₹ 5,760. Buy it here.
