“Start each day with your favorite lipstick and a smile”

Hi everybody!

Is there anyone who isn’t a fan of nude lipsticks in this era?

I guess there isn’t any. So, this blog involves my favorite go-to nudes lipsticks that can be worn regularly. I’m in love with all these shades. It includes both pink and brown nudes. Well, I am a big fan of brown nudes [as it suits me more], so you will find more number brown nudes than pink in this blog!

All the lipsticks mentioned here are very affordable and easily available on Nykaa or any other shopping site. They are best for college students or any other individual, I don’t want to categorize them.

Well, let’s begin! All of them are in no particular order.

1. Madras Kapi 05- Nykaa matte to last! Transfer proof Lipstick [MRP: ₹599; Mini Version MRP: 239]

OMGG! I cannot explain how much I am in love with this brown nude shade. I have already emptied two three bottles of it. It is a liquid-based matte lipstick. It has a perfect formula that doesn’t dry your lips at all. A must-have for Indian tones. It will suit almost all skin tones. It doesn’t last a whole day long if you’re eating or else. But you can easily re-apply it as it doesn’t get flaky or dry out. I would highly recommend this shade. A must-have if you’re looking for a good brown nude shade.

Shade: Brown

Type: Liquid matte

Transfer proof: Yes

Longevity: depends on whether or not you’re eating /drinking something

2.  Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick- Nude nuance [MRP- ₹299]

It is bullet lipstick. This is such an elegant shade, that can be worn on normal days, in college, or regularly. It has a shade of light brown nude. This shade would look perfect in medium to fair skin tone. It has a creamy matte formula and doesn’t dry out the lips. Though I would say it doesn’t last that long, you need to reapply it. It is the most inexpensive lipsticks among all the lipsticks I am about to mention here. I love this shade, a must-have for daily purposes.

Shade: Light Brown

Type: Bullet Creamy matte lipstick

Transfer proof: No

Longevity: doesn’t last all day long; need to be reapplied

3. Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick- Touch of spice [MRP- ₹299]

It is the same lipstick from the range I mentioned above. It comes under the category of pink & plum. This is a beautiful pink nude matte lipstick with a creamy texture. This shade suit all the Indian tone girls out there. If you’re looking for lipstick in a pink shade, this is the shade that you might be looking for. I remember looking for perfect pink all of my life and I wouldn’t be able to find it until I tried this lipstick. Best formula, inexpensive, and a perfect pink nude.

Shade: Pink

Type: Bullet Creamy Matte lipstick

Transfer proof: No

Longevity: Doesn’t last all day long

4. Colorbar MATTE ME AS I AM- 013 Leap [INR 850.00]

Again a brown nude. This is a bit different sort of brown color. It is more into the coral shade. But the formula of this lipstick is Gorgeous! It has no parabens, no mineral-oils and no allergens. Only soft matte. It is a bit expensive I would say. But it is so smooth as you apply it to your lips. It does dry your lips; you need to moisturize your lips before applying it. But it stays for the longest. It is a beautiful color. Transfer-proof. If you’re looking for a bit different shade of brown nude, you could try this one.

Shade: Coral Brown

Type: Matte

Transfer proof: Yes

Longevity: Last longer

5. Nykaa So Matte! Mini Lipstick – 20M Caramel Margarita [MRP:₹199]

A beautiful shade of lipstick. It is more of a darker brown coffee shade but it looks lovely. I guess it will suit every Indian skin tone again. Since it is bullet lipstick, it doesn’t last pretty long. But it has such a small size, you can easily take it with you anywhere and reapply it whenever needed. I usually purchase a mini version of these lipsticks so that I can have multiple shades of lipsticks to try on.

Shade: Brown

Type: Bullet matte Lipstick

Transfer proof: No

Longevity: Doesn’t last pretty long; need to be reapplied.

6. Nykaa So Matte! Mini Lipstick – 12 Taupe Thrill [MRP- ₹199]

Again, a brown nude. I can’t tell how much I used to love this shade before I found Madras Kapi. A must-have. It has a lighter brown shade than Caramel Margarita. These lipsticks don’t last that long. But they are inexpensive. I guess except for matte liquid lipsticks there are only a few bullet lipsticks that could last you all day. You anyway need to reapply them, so no complaints.

Shade: Brown

Type: Bullet Matte Lipstick

Transfer proof: No

Longevity: same as above

7. Bombae -Nykaa Matte to Last! Transfer proof Lipstick [MRP: ₹599]
