Lipsticks are essential when it comes to makeup and wearing the wrong lipstick shade can completely spoil your look. It can get a little tricky for you to find the right shade for your skin tone if you are a dark-skinned or dusky woman. This is because most brands that are available in the market majorly cater to skin tones light to medium. However, many shades that they offer work for dusky women too like nudes or bold shades. If you have been looking for the right lipstick shades for your dusky skin for long, here is a mini-guide. Here are 4 shades that work well for dusky women and you need to have them in your beauty bag!
Red
Red is one colour that works for all skin tones, be it light, medium or dark. It is one colour that you should always carry in your makeup bag. A bold, red lip can transform your look in a jiffy and the best part is that the shade works with everything, be it any look. Red is a very dramatic colour palette and it perfectly works to enhance the features of women with dusky skin.
Choosing The Right Red
Now when you head to search for a red lipstick online or offline, you will find a lot of variations. Which one to pick? You should pick a deep red or red lipstick with a blue undertone. A berry red or a wine red also works great for dusky skin tones.
Nude
All this while, have you been thinking that nudes aren't for your skin tone? Well, let's tell you that you have a nude shade for all skin tones. It's just that you need to pick the nude shade that works well for your dusky complexion. Brown and pink nudes work perfectly for dark skin tones.
