Find Your Ideal Lipstick Shade:
Know Your Skin’s Undertone
Your undertone matters more than your skin tone. It guides how lipstick interacts with your complexion. Undertones fall into three broad types: cool, warm, and neutral. If your skin has bluish or pink hints, you have a cool undertone. Blue-based reds, berries, and mauves will suit you well. If your skin shows yellow or golden hues, you’re warm-toned. Coral, orange-red, and warm nudes enhance that warmth. If both silver and gold jewellery flatter you, you likely have a neutral undertone. You can wear most shades comfortably.
Daytime Wear
For everyday wear like work, errands, or casual outings, go light and effortless. Lipstick should freshen your face without dominating it. Soft neutrals, light browns, and pinks that mimic your lip’s natural tone work best. They define your lips gently and blend into your overall look. Choose creamy or satin finishes that add moisture and a hint of shine. They’re easy to wear, easy to touch up, and comfortable throughout the day.

Night Events
Evenings invite drama. Night settings allow for deeper colours and daring finishes. If you are attending a party or special dinner, this is your moment to shine.Rich shades like oxblood, wine, and burgundy work beautifully under low light. They add depth and glamour. You can also try metallic reds or glossy finishes that catch the light and add texture.
Festive Glam for Traditional Events
Festivals and cultural celebrations bring colour and tradition together. Whether you’re wearing a saree or lehenga, your lipstick should match the richness of the outfit. Bold pinks, deep maroons, and cranberry reds often work best for traditional looks. During day functions, coral or warm fuchsia adds cheer. At night, you can deepen the color with burgundy or brick tones. Matte finishes work well here as they stay put through long events, photos, and meals. You can match your lip shade to your outfit or go for contrast. Both choices can look intentional and beautiful if balanced well.
Lipstick reflects more than colour, it reveals emotion.The colour you choose becomes part of how you carry yourself that day. So, experiment. Mix shades. Try something new. There are no rules—just choices that help you feel your best.
