Lipstick Shades That Go Best With Dusky Skin

Having dark skin is a huge advantage, as top cosmetic brands around the world compete for attention and a share of this growing market, especially in emerging economies. This means that makeup brands are churning out shade after shade of makeup based on their research to find the perfect color that goes with duskiness. India is one such consumer base where many beautiful tinted lipstick shades are on offer and are flying off the shelves like hot cakes. With glitzy physical stores in malls, standalone branded retail outlets and now e-commerce sites, consumers are spoiled for choice.

The use of lipstick goes back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt (think Cleopatra 70 or 69 BC) and the queens of Sumeria (2500 BC) used indigenous and natural ingredients to highlight the beauty of their lips. Since then, lipsticks have become a staple as one's beauty regime, and any step without a dash of lip color looks incomplete. Lipstick shades need to be carefully matched to skin tone, and India's skin varies from dusky, wheatish, to earthy. Add some popular shades of lipstick for Indian skin to your makeup kit, and you are done. Step out with confidence wearing a lipstick shade that complements your look and personality. The right color will definitely make a stunning impression.
