Brown Lipstick Shades Have Made A Comeback - Here's How To Style Them
Brown lipstick shades were all the rage in the 90s, and like most trends in the beauty and fashion industry, they too are now making a comeback. And we are loving it! Somewhere in the middle of nude lipsticks and deep, bold vampy lips, shades of brown lipsticks are very versatile. What’s more, these shades perfectly complement most skin tones, especially the Indian skin tones. While a red lipstick may be your go-to shade for those upbeat events or dinner dates, a brown lipstick looks equally edgy and mysterious and takes your makeup up a notch with ease. So, be it a light brown liquid lippie, dark brown creamy matte, or glossy brown shade, donning brown lipsticks is a timeless and fabulous trend you wouldn’t want to miss. To help you find your perfect brown lipstick shade for Indian skin, we’ve rounded up some of the best brown lipstick looks and shades that will surely help you find and nail YOUR best brown lippy.
Best brown lipstick shades for Indian skin
1. Warm brown lipstick shade for Indian skin
If you are new to the world of brown lipsticks, we recommend starting with a warm brown lipstick look. An everyday warm-toned brown lipstick pairs amazingly well with simple eye makeup and a winged eyeliner look. We recommend keeping the rest of the makeup simple and neutral to keep your lips the star of the show. To make your brown lipstick look pop, try going for bold and beautiful eyes by going heavy on the eyeliner and mascara. This will add drama to your eyes, flatter your skin tone and keep the overall look soft and effortless.

2. Deep brown lipstick shade for Indian skin
If you’re a fan of the rich, luscious, dark, chocolatey shade, reminiscent of a warm cup of mocha, the deep brown shade is your go-to brown lipstick for Indian skin. Dress it up or keep it simple, the deep brown lipstick look is perfect for an office meeting or a glamorous dinner date with your partner. To keep all eyes on the lips, use soft, neutral shades for the rest of the makeup. Subtle brown eyeshadow, a touch of warm bronzer on your cheeks, and a champagne-gold highlighter on the high points of your face are all you need to complete the look. Avoid wearing too much colour on your face like bright pink cheeks or a bold blue eyeshadow as these colours will clash with your brown lipstick shade and make your makeup look messy and chaotic.

For those of you who like to play safe with your lipsticks, a nude brown lipstick shade is ideal for entering the brown lipstick territory without stepping out of your comfort zone.
