So here are my 5 top drugstore lipstick picks that suit any South-Asian skin tone.
1. Make up Revolution Fortify.
The formula applies really nicely and sits well on the lips. It doesn't make the lips stiffen or crumble after a few hours.
2. Makeup Revolution Cliché.
Cliche is the perfect and exact dupe for Mac's heroin. Although at first glance when you see the Mac lipstick, you might feel its a bit deeper, but both apply the same and literally look exactly the same. Some people would think of cliche has an autumn/fall shade but with rising pastel colours in clothing, this shade will go perfectly with the entire summer vibe and it doesn't make you look like a middle aged South-Asian aunty wearing a dark purple colour ready to pull your cheeks out. Again, like Fortify, it applies really well on the lips.
This was a shade that was really hard to find and get right. There are VERY VERY few nude pink colours that will suit a South-Asian skin tone without making your face look washed out. Sunday Walk applies very very sheer but has a buildable consistency and look really great while you're on your day out about town.
4. Nip and Fab Cinnamon.
Nip and Fab have recently launched their make up line and since I am a huge fan of their skin care range, I decided to venture into their makeup range as well. They have some fab nude shades but unfortunately very few suit South-Asian skin tone. When you apply Cinnamon directly, you might feel like its a tad bit light for you. But the trick with liquid lipsticks is that you need to use a lip liner to make the colour pop. I used Mac's spice lip liner(Dupe: Barry M russet 5) on my lips first and then used Cinnamon and it made the PERFECT nude shade that I have always wanted! The formula is a bit drying on the lips. Something like Colourpop's but nothing that a bit of lip balm can't fix!
5. Nip and Fab Biscuit.
I love that purple shade on you! The Makeup Revolution Cliche? Gorgeous! I like a good dark pink or red lip in the summer, makes me feel more fabulous haha
ReplyDeleteI love the shades of the Nip and Fab -Cinnamon and Biscuit. I'll be checking their make up line.
ReplyDeleteI love the second purple shade on you best as it makes my eyes pop. The first brown nude is pretty as well x
ReplyDeleteThese all look amazing on you, but I have to say my favourite is the purple one! x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing selection of colours, you rock them all so well! xxx
ReplyDeleteI think my favourite is the Tanya Burr Sunday Walk one. But I have to say that the Makeup Revolution Cliché lipstick looks so nice on you!
ReplyDeleteI love that coral shade!! I know what you mean about finding shades to suit skin tones, I find it really hard!
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful shades - I really love the look of the Tanya Burr one
ReplyDeleteI like the Fab biscuit and cinnamon ones they are my kind of colours.
ReplyDeleteI really love the Makeup Revolution Cliché lipstick. I have recently bought 2 purple high street branded lipsticks but I don't feel they cover too well or that they stay on the lips for a long time without smudging off.
ReplyDeleteThe nip and fab lipsticks are one's I've been meaning to try for ages, the shades look beautiful x
ReplyDeleteReally like the Tanya Burr Sunday Walk, would like to try it for myself... maybe next time I'm walking around the shops on a Sunday :D
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty colours and they all really suit you x
ReplyDeleteEvery shade looks gorgeous on you! I have olive coloured skin and have recently been doing a lot of research about colouring, I wonder how these would look on me. Will definitely have to check them out. x
ReplyDeleteI really love the purple colour, but I have really pale skin so I am not sure if it would suit me.
ReplyDeleteThese look like perfect summer lipsticks! I want to try the ones from makeup revolution
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Cinnamon looks perfect on you! The nip fab lipsticks look way too much like concealer on my (usually) super pale skin, but mixed with Spice it looks great on you. I'm also loving the look of Tanya's, I love her but strangely have never tried her makeup-going hunting for this one! x
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the coral looked amazing, until I saw the nudes! They suit you so much, you look gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThey all look fantastic on you! I really want to try the makeup range by Nip + Fab!
ReplyDeleteYou've picked up some great lipsticks and they look gorgeous on you!
