Top Affordable Nude Lipsticks For Indian Skintones

Affordable Nude Lipsticks For Indian Skintones: Finding that perfect shade of nude / MLBB (my lips but better) lipstick for Indian skin tones is a very challenging task! A lot of nude lipstick shades tend to wash out on us, since most of them are created by keeping fair skintones in mind. However difficult it might be to find one, having a perfect MLBB lipstick shade suitable for your skintone is as important in your makeup stash as a pretty red lipstick, isn’t it?

Nude lipstick shades are always my first choice when it comes to wearing a lipstick, even if I am not doing a full face of makeup – I still like to add a little bit of fresh touch to my face with nude lips. My favourite nude-ish lipstick till date has been Fabulous Fig from Revlon, but unfortunately it has been discontinued by the brand and my lipstick has also expired. It has been my most used makeup product as I love it so much! Right now, I am only using a lip tint from The Face Shop to create a simple and natural stained lips look.

For those of you who have been on a hunt for the perfect nude lipstick for a while, don’t fret beauties! in this post, I have complied a list of top affordable nude lipsticks for Indian skin tones that are easily available in India. Let’s take a look at some of the best nude lipsticks in India and how you can pick the right nude lipstick shade for yourself with ease.

I have divided this post in to three price categories – best nude lipsticks for Indian skintones under 300, 500 and 800 INR so that you all can easily find a budget nude lipstick for yourself!

This lip shade from their crayon lipsticks range has to be Sugar’s bestselling product. People just cannot stop raving about this gorgeous nude lip shade for Indian complexions that goes so well with all kinds of makeup looks and occasions.

As far as I can remember, this was the first ever lipstick collection launched by Sugar cosmetics and the shade Holly Golightly became an instant hit among makeup lovers on the internet sphere. Sugar has launched tons of new lipstick ranges since then, but this shade still remains a classic favourite pick of people.

Kiro is a clean beauty brand that has recently emerged in the Indian markets. This airy matte liquid lipstick in the shade “Nutmeg” from the house of Kiro is a perfect nude lipstick for deep Indian skintones. The brand has a wide array of lipstick shades that you can choose from, however, this spicy nude lip shade is probably the most beautiful one from their collection.

L’Oréal’s products from their infallible makeup range are very well known for their longevity. The lipsticks from this collection are not as popular as their infallible foundations or the infallible powder that most recently became a sensation on Tiktok, Instagram, and YouTube.

The infallible lipsticks range surely deserves much more attention than it has at the moment. I picked the shade Nudist from their Pro Matte Liquid Lipstick range feature in this post. Most people compare its formulation to the Superstay Ink liquid lips range from Maybeline.

I would suggest the shade Nudist to people with fair Indian complexion. Those with medium complexion can opt for the shade Cowboy instead from the same collection.
