The perfect lip color for the third date. It is experimental and surely going to spice things up! With this lip color, it will feel like it is 1989 all over again!
Wearing the shade: For this lipstick, a lip liner is a MUST! Focus on your inner lip area. Once you apply the shade, dab the bottom lip. Use a lip brush for a better effect. We might want to feel retro but not look 1990s, I suppose!
3. Tamarind

A night-out with friends is the perfect occasion for you to doll up and you must not forget the tamarind shade of brown lip color.
Wearing the shade: To make the hue pop, use foundation to make sure the color of your face and neck is even. A lip liner of the same color is crucial to keep the shade put!
4. Maison

Warm and cosy, perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch. Team it up with an oversize sweater, a pair of ripped jeans and OTK boots.

A look that is perfect for a wedding wear! You want a nude makeup to compliment your melodramatic outfit, don’t you?
Wearing the shade: The pouty portion of the lower lip is where you need to cheat a little with this color. Use a pencil to overdo that area which catches the maximum light.
8. Chestnut brown

Brown with orange undertones, doesn’t that sound perfect for an afternoon show with friends?
Wearing the shade: Just a single swipe of this lippy should work just fine. It lacks shimmer and its pigmentation is fantastic. So don’t over-apply the shade.
9. Spicy cinnamon
