Everywhere you look in the monsoons, it can seem like all doom and gloom. Grey skies and murky streets are proof of that. While you cannot control the weather, there is one thing that you can take charge of and that's your look. A quick way to turn things around is with a striking pop of colour on your lips. All you'll need to do is open the tube and swipe it on your puckers. In minutes, your bright lips will add vibrance to those dull days. Give it a try with these five fantastic lipstick shades this season.
1. Burgundy
If it's a night on the town that needs a pop of colour, go for a rich shade of burgundy. Just because it's deep, don't mistake it for being dull. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Rich and striking, plum tones also go beautifully on Indian skin tones.
Swirlster Says: Maybelline's Midnight Date lipstick is the glorious burgundy shade your monsoon day is aching for. It is available on Amazon for INR 550.
2. Rust
To find the balance between reds and orange shades, rust is what you should go for. It isn't too bright but still knows how to make an impact and can work well for a day at the office too.
Swirlster Says: Nykaa's Guwa-Hottie liquid lipstick is a muted rusty shade that's great for the daytime. Plus, its long-lasting abilities don't hurt either. It is available on Nykaa for INR 550.
3. Orange
If you want all eyes on your pout, don't shy away from an orange pop of colour. It'll work as the right contrast to the dreary season and remind you that sunny days aren't too far away.
Swirlster Says: Studio West by Westside's Chubby Lipsticks come in many hues in their new Tropical Diva collection but the shades 'Rio' and 'Bermuda' are the tangerine tones of our choice. It is available at Westside for INR 225.
4. Pink
You can't say no to the crowd favourite pink, can you? It's fun, flirty and good enough to pair with just about any look you wear. Try it for yourself because a pop of pink never hurt nobody.
Swirlster Says: Lakme's Pink Glam matte lipstick is a hot hue of colour that's definitely not for the faint of heart. It is available on Nykaa for INR 750.
5. Red
Really now, does anyone even need any convincing to wear red lipstick? It looks magical on absolutely everyone and will work like a charm on long monsoon days to take your look up a few notches.
Swirlster Says: Smashbox's Bawse liquid lipstick is a fiery red that's loved all over for good reason. It is available on NNow for INR 2050.
