The Perfect Red Colour Lipstick For Indian Skin Tones
There is something about red colour lipstick shades that instantly make us feel confident, luxurious, and glam. Red lipsticks can transform even the simplest of outfits into effortlessly chic. There is no surprise that the red colour lipstick is one of the best lipstick shades, no matter the season. With a country with as many diverse skin tones as India, it is only fair that we find different red colour lipstick shades to flatter all different skin colours. Whether you are light and pale with cool undertones, deep and dark with warm undertones, or somewhere in between, there is a red lipstick for your Indian skin tone out there. With so many different options like brick red lipstick, orange-red lipstick, dark red lipstick shade, and more, it is easy to get confused and overwhelmed. But don’t worry, as we’ve got you covered.
Here is a handy guide to finding the perfect red colour lipstick shade and 4 red lipsticks for Indian skin that will complement your skin tone and make you look elegant and sexy with ease!
Red lipstick for fair skin
If you fall under the pale, fair, or light skin tone bracket, opt for red lipstick shades that have cool undertones (think blue and pink). Steer clear from red lipsticks that are too light as they can make you look washed out. Bluish reds complement the cool undertones and bring out your features.
Red lipsticks for dusky skin
Medium and dusky skin tones usually have warm undertones, and the best shades of red lipsticks for dusky skin or medium brown skin people are those with warmer undertones. Think brick red lipsticks with terracotta undertones or orange-red and coral lipsticks. Some of the most popular red lipsticks for Indian skin tones fall in this bracket, so finding a red colour lipstick for your skin tone will not be a difficult task!
Red lipstick for dark skin
If your skin tone ranges from medium brown to rich chocolate shades, look for red lipstick shades with warm yellow undertones or vampy, dark red lipstick shades with blue undertones. When picking dark red lipstick shades, avoid picking those with hints of brown as you don’t want your lipstick shade to get lost in the colour of your skin. Use bold and bright red colour lipstick shades to make your lips pop and keep them as the focal point of the face.
