I love a good nude lipstick. Something easy to wear, yet a lipstick that gives a wow finish. I have picked out my 10 most used nude lipsticks from the past few months for today's post. One thing I will add is that for the most part I wear a lip liner with these lipstick. If you want a versatile lipliner, I can't recommend Mac Whirl lipstick. MAC lip liner and pencils shape, line and fill in lips with creamy colour-true formulas that glide on fluidly with a long-lasting finish.
Thank you everyone for your response to the post where I listed my 10 Best MAC Red Lipsticks for the Indian Skin Tone. I'm back again as promised with another Top 10 list and this time, it is my 10 Best MAC Neutral Lip Colors for the Indian Skin Tone. I mention lip colors and not lipsticks because I've also added a gloss and two of my favorite n*de shades of lip liners in the list.
We all know what a pain it can be to find that perfect n*de specially if you have a medium to dark skin tone like I do. After a lot of trial and testing, I now know what kind of n*des suit me. I always go for shades that have either pink, peach or brown undertones. These colors make me look fresh and not washed out. MAC has a wide range of n*ude lipsticks, glosses and lip liners that cater to every skin tone. Here's my list of the 10 Best MAC Neutral Lip Colors for the Indian Skin Tone.
MAC Taupe – a matte finish lipstick and MAC describes it as a muted reddish taupe brown. This color might be too brown on fair skin tones but on medium to dark skin tones, this is perfection.
MAC Pander Me – this color was launched last year as part of the new Matte Lip Collection. MAC describes it as a 'soft peachy mocha' and again, it is a great every day wear lipstick. The color is very similar to Taupe and another popular MAC shade, Mocha.
MAC Midimauve – Midimauve is in a Lustre finish so the coverage and staying power is not as good as the mattes but it is a beautiful shade on the Indian skin tone. MAC describes it as a 'rosy mauve with pearl' and this color looks particularly good when paired with smokey eyes.
MAC Spirit – a satin finish lipstick described as a 'muted pinky beige brown'. I love the MAC satin finish because it's not as drying as the mattes but provide equal coverage and lasts for a long time. The color is slightly light on me but since it has pink undertones, does not wash me out. On skin tones darker than NC43, Spirit might wash you out if worn on it's own so do pair it with a lip liner or lip gloss.
MAC Fast Play – This one is my favorite of the lot. Described as a 'neutral pink lipstick', it is in an amplified finish. Fast Play is a color that is universally flattering on any skin tone. You just can't go wrong with it!
MAC Persistence – This color is almost always out of stock because it is that popular! If you are looking for that perfect 90's style warm matte brown that is so trendy right now, go for Persistence. It came out in the new Matte Lip Collection and has been made permanent. Beautiful color!
MAC Whirl – With last year's Matte lip collection, MAC came out with the lipstick version of their famous Whirl lip liner. The color is described as a 'dirty rose' and has a hint of brown. Beautiful everyday n*de shade.
MAC Whirl Lip Liner – The famous Kylie Jenner lip? It is said that Whirl played a very important role in it in the pre Kylie Lip Kit era.
MAC Soar Lip Liner – This is hands down my favorite lip liner from MAC. The problem is that Soar is very hard to find because this shade is almost always out of stock. Soar has more pink in it than Whirl and the texture is absolutely beautiful. This lip liner is so creamy that you can wear it as a lipstick as well.
MAC Hyper Fabulous Vamplify Lip Gloss – Hyper Fabulous is a limited edition but there is a reason why I added it to this list. MAC is coming out with new shades in the Vamplify lip gloss range and there is a shade Fab Tested which is 95% close to Hyper Fabulous. The collection will probably come out next month so if you love this one, you can check out Fab Tested. I love the Vamplify glosses because they have such a beautiful formula. Excellent pigmentation, moisturises the lips and stays longer than normal glosses.
That was my list of the 10 Best MAC Neutral Lip Colors for the Indian Skin Tone. There is another shade that I wanted to add to the list but I just could not find it in my stock anywhere:(. The shade is Creme In Your Coffee, another pinkish brown shade which looks really pretty. There are many more shades like Mocha, Twig, Retro etc that will work beautifully on Indian skin tones but the ones that I listed above are my favorites. BTW, prices of all MAC products have increased by 15% and the permanent lipsticks now cost Rs 1500 🙁

As lip liner is literally the foundation for lipstick, it should be chosen carefully. Though many women simply buy a lip liner color they've seen advertised in a magazine, not every lip liner looks good on everyone. As many varieties of lipstick there are, there are just as many lip liners. When choosing yours, pick a lip liner color that easily blends in with your lipstick. When applied correctly, lip liner can help define lips while preventing lip color from disappearing throughout the day.
Before you choose a lip liner color, take your lipstick shade into consideration. Experts suggest shopping for lip color sans makeup. A lipstick that looks great next to your skin in its most natural element is sure to make your lips look even better when you are wearing makeup. If you can't decide, a neutral color can work for anyone. Taking a saleswoman's advice can be helpful, too, but be wary of whether she genuinely likes the color on you, or if she's just trying to land that sale.
Lip liner color comes in a variety of materials, including standard pencil, lip smudge, lip paint, and permanent lip liner. Most women choose standard lip liner pencil — one that has been well sharpened — as it draws the most precise lip lines. If you're looking for an all-over color to set all night long, lining first with a pencil, filling in second with a lip smudge, and topping with lipstick and gloss is a common routine. Lil nas x twitter. Regardless of what color lipstick you choose, lip liner should typically be one to two shades darker than your lipstick.
Even if you have small, tight lips, lip liner can help enhance them. Many thin-lipped women fear lip liner because they think it will make their lips look darker, thus shrinking them even more. The right lip liner color, though, can help do just the opposite. If you have thin lips, choose a lip pencil color just one shade darker than your lipstick color. Additionally, using a shiny or slightly sparkly top coat can emphasize lip fullness.
Deciding whether you have fair, medium, or dark skin always helps, too. If your skin is fair with pinkish undertones, pick a shade anywhere between nude, coral, and apricot pink. For skin that's a bit warmer or tanner, mauves, blushes, and rose lip liner colors should work well. For dark or black skin, brown or purple lip liner shades are best, while splashes of wine colors at night can really brighten things up.

While red lip color may not be for everyone, even those who can pull it off must first try it on. After applying both lip liner and lipstick, use natural light to determine whether the color looks good on you. If you are not contented with it, your uneasiness will show. Confidence is key when it comes to wearing red lipstick.
Matching your lip color to your outfit is also a no-no, especially if you choose a splashy red color. Generally, women with pale skin look best in cherry red, while olive-skinned girls might want to try a slightly more rustic red. The darker your skin, the deeper the shade of red should be.
When applying lip liner color, use the pencil to line your lips. When drawing the line, gently brush the pencil in sweeping strokes. This will create a more natural line. While doing this, be sure to hug the outer edges of the lips, in order to emphasize their shape. The more defined an edge, the more dramatic the look. While perfection isn't a necessity, any dark smudges may show through your lipstick top coat.
