Top 3 Nude Lipsticks Under INR 500 for Indian Skin Tone

Hello Blooming People Out There!!!!

Nude lips are in trend now and it is going to be there forever. From celebrities to common office going women to college going girls, everyone is big fan of nude lipstick. It is so easy to carry with any outfit, any time of the day, anywhere and everywhere basically. If you find the perfect MLBB (My Lips But Better) shade for yourself, no one can ever stop you from looking gorgeous.
As the makeup and cosmetic market is growing so so fast and everyday some or the other brands are launching and hence, increasing the confusion about which product to buy and which to not.
So, here I come to your rescue by sharing my Top 3 favorite nude lipsticks of all the time which I guarantee will suit all Indian skin tone.

1. Nykaa So Matte Lipstick - Naughty Nude 11 M (Click Here To Buy)


It is priced at INR 399 for 4.2 gm of the product. It comes in a black matte cuboid shaped packaging with NYKAA printed in silver on it. The packaging definitely gets a thumbs up from my side, because it has magnetic cover and hence, looks luxurious. The color coding is done at the bottom of the packaging.
 Coming to the color of the lipstick, it is perfect warm brown toned with slight pinkish under toned color which will suit all the Indian skin tone. I have medium yellowish skin tone and it looks like perfect brown color on my lips.
  Now, texture of this lipstick is satiny and very comfortable to wear on the lips. It glides on so smoothly like butter. It does not dry out the lips at all. One of the best formulations I have ever come across has to be the Nykaa So Matte Lipstick range. This is great for people with extremely dry lips.


  Why I should buy this lipstick?

  1. Color payoff is amazing.
  2. Glides on smoothly on the lips.
  3. Pigmented lipsticks.
  4. Satin finish with shine to it.
  5. Does not dry out the lips. 
  6. Very comfortable to wear. Feels like you have nothing on the lips.
  7. Staying power is in between 4-6 hours. Does get faded away with the meal. But leaves a nice tint on the lips.

  Overall rating : 4/5


2. Miss Claire Soft Matte lip Cream - 13 (Click Here to Buy)


It is priced at INR 295 for 6.5 gm of product. Miss Claire is a drugstore brand which has amazing quality products. The packaging is the cylindrical packaging with black metal color plastic cap on the top. The wand of the lipstick is doe foot applicator which makes it very easy to apply. The body of the container is color coded and hence, making it easy to differentiate. It is known to be as the dupe of NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, which is definitely true.


 Coming to the color of the lipstick, it is the perfect pinkish nude lipstick. It is MLBB shade for my skin tone. But I see this working for so so many Indian skin tones as well.
The consistency of these lipsticks are just amazing. So creamy and velvety and does not dry out your lips at all. Dries out semi matte and lips just feel so light as well.
It is great for people who do not like complete matte lipsticks.

  1. Super affordable.
  2. Variety of shades are available and one can easily find shades for themselves.
  3. Creamy, velvety and light weight texture. Comfortable on lips.
  4. Pigmented and hence one swipe is enough to cover the lips.
  5. Does not cake up even if you layer multiple times.

  Why I should not buy this lipstick?

  1. Not that long lasting. It lasts for 3-4 hours after which you need to do touch up. Easily gets removed after the meal.
  2. Non transfer - proof
  3. Fragrance can be an issue for people with sensitive nose.
  4. Availability can be an issue.

3. Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick - Rebel Rose(Click Here to Buy)


It is priced at INR 499 for 6 gm of the product. Packaging is transparent cylindrical tube with black cap on it. It has a doe foot applicator which helps in reaching the inner corners of the lips very easily.
 It is a very soft mauvy nude color, which looks very beautiful on the lips. I can see this color working for so so many skin tones. I can see the deeper skin tone rocking this color.

   Formula wise it is the best matte lipstick available in India at this price range. It is super duper matte and is so comfortable to wear. Unlike other liquid matte lipsticks, it is not so drying on the lips. But I would suggest applying lip balm beneath this lipstick.
