Lipstick is every woman’s secret weapon

Lipstick is that one must-have that all of us feel incomplete without. From naked skin to a full-glam makeup tone, the choice of lipstick shade can uplift or bring down the whole look. However, amidst a sea of colours available in the market, we all have our comfort shades that go with all fashion and beauty aesthetics. Stepping inside the world of colour theory, your go-to lipstick shade says a lot about your personality. Let’s explore some hues and see what they have to say about you.

2/6

Palette of mauve

The shade of mauve is often associated with royalty, decadence, and power of centuries. Thanks to its rare blend and the cost of the dye, it is the symbol shade of ‘The Crown’, exuding a royal and vintage charm. Women who wear this shade are known to be two steps ahead of everyone else, including their own to-do list. They are extremely confident in their doings but are slightly reserved in nature.

3/6

Pretty in pink

The shade of pink has long been linked with femininity and is associated with being soft, warm, compassionate, and kind. Just like Barbie is loyal to this shade and is a trusted confidante as a friend, women wearing pink shades have an energetic and bubbly personality and are highly playful. They may come off sounding dumb and irritating, but once you get to see the warmth, you’ll eventually fall in love with them.

4/6

The timeless red

The power of red lipstick is rooted deep in our history and is known to be a symbol of being bold and edgy. It has found a special place in the feminist political movements and was sported by American suffragettes and Chilean anti-sexual violence protestors. These women are quite independent and highly vocal about what they want. They are passionate and ambitious and are never afraid to stand out for themselves.

The trendy nude

The shades of nudes are universally preferred by a large section of women and have been associated with gentleness, order, and symmetry. This shade is known to be subtle and a modest pick, allowing you to be confident in who you are, with nothing having the power to change you. These women tend to march to their own beat and are very genuine and calm.

6/6

The powerful corals

Coral shades are a bolder take for all the nude devotees and are a blend of pink with orange grace. If you wish to have the best of both worlds, then a pop of coral lipstick is all you should carry. These women are outgoing with a laid-back nature at times. On certain days, they will happily binge-watch shows at home, but on weekends, they will be all out till 4 AM, living out their best life, being absolutely carefree and relaxed.
