5 Lipstick Shades To Rock This Festive Season
I am certain most of you must have read a lot of articles talking about makeup looks and outfits which would be perfect for the upcoming wedding and festive season. However, most of the time, these articles do not specify brands or products which one should use. And for most of us beauties on a budget, we do not have the luxury to try and experiment with every product that catches our eye. Luckily for you, I have curated a list of lipstick shades for both, the ones that like a more au naturel look and the ones that prefer to stand out this season.
1. Faces Canada Ultime Pro Matte Lip Crayon – Midnight Rose 12
Any lipstick by Faces Canada is a win in my books. However, Midnight Rose has to be on my top 5 red lipsticks of all time. We get 2.8 g of product for ₹637. It leaves a matte finish that lasts a long time, perfect for family functions or weddings. The shade of the lipstick is deep red with blue undertones, perfect for all skin tones.
2. Miss Claire Matte Power Lipcolor – 6
Miss Claire absolutely killed it with this range. For most of us, Miss Claire’s soft matte lip creams are what we used to use back when we were broke college students. Ah! The nostalgia attached to the vanilla-like scent of those lip creams! Not only are the Matte Power Lipcolor as affordable as the soft matte lip cream as we get 3g of product for ₹375 but also it has the same vanilla-like scent which gives me so much nostalgia! Shade 6 is perfect for those who want a lowkey nude makeup look. It is a nude shade with slight pink undertones which adds a mild pop of colour to your look without seeming too much. Perfect for casual or formal occasions.

3. SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick – 02 Brink Of Pink
I personally am not an ardent follower of any brand. Having said that, there are a few makeup brands with which I have never had negative experiences, SUGAR being one of them. Most products by SUGAR are of great quality and value for money. Coming to the lipstick, most lipsticks in this range are matte and pigmented. The shade 02 Brink Of Pink is perfect for those who like going the traditional shade route. It is a classic pink lipstick that leans on the darker side of the shade spectrum. It is perfect for that afternoon puja or haldi looks as it imparts an understated but classic charm to your makeup which is perfect for a day look.
4. Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick – Vino Noir
This one is for those who are there to make a statement. They want your attention and they want it NOW! The base shade is reddish-burgundy. However, what makes this one stand out is the metallic glitter in the lipstick giving your entire make-up look an extra oomph! Priced at ₹2100 for 4ml of product, this one is definitely a head-turner at your nighttime events.
5. M.A.C Matte Lipstick – Heroine
Last but not least, here’s one for those that like going out of the box. Heroine by M.A.C will definitely give you that shock and sensational factor you are looking for. Priced at ₹1700 for 3g of product, Heroine is a true purple shade. While some might deem it as “too much” I feel as though it is just another way for one to express and present themselves the way they see fit.
I hope this lipstick guide helped you with knowing where to invest your money this festive season. With all the Diwali sales going on, what are you waiting for? Get your chosen lipstick ASAP and rock those social gatherings like the confident queen you are!
