1. Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color – MP19 Blush Book

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color - MP19 Blush Book

Shade description and Review:

Blush Book Please!! Blush Book is a very beautiful universal muted pink that is amazing for the fair skin but if the complexion is a bit dusky then this can wash out your typical wheatish medium skin tone. In short, one can use blush book for everyday use while going to college, work, seminars, corporate events etc but only when the complexion is fair. We are saying this as the cool tone skin this shade of Lakme lip colors can be a slight off looking for those with dusky Indian skin complexion.

Recommended For: Fair skin

First of all, the texture and formula of Red letter is gorgeous, so does the other shade of this Lakme 9 to 5 lipsticks range but we find this color to be tad better than the rest of the shades. It’s a beautiful red that is a universal red lipstick. It is more like a tomato red which has slight orange hues which makes it a great for all kind of color for the Indian skin. Whether you are dusky, fair of have wheatish Indian  skin tone, Red letter Lakme lipstick is going to suit your complexion. The staying span is also commendable as this stays all day long with mild fading from the centre of the mouth. It is a good Lakme lipstick shade for dark skin tones.

3. Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color – MP20 Pink Post

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color - MP20 Pink Post

Shade description and Review:

Pink Post is a bright glaring hot fuchsia color that is a bit tricky to carry, this can look stunning on fair or very fair skin but dusky girls should stay away from colors like that. Please don’t feel that we are saying that dark skinned girls can’t carry such bold colors it’s just that at time colors like these can make your skin look darker than it is. Pink post is a color for Indian wedding or even for that special date that you are going for. Wanna create an impression, then do try a color like this.

4. Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color – MR8 Orange Edge

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color - MR7 orange edge

Shade description and Review:

Orange Edge is a gorgeous medium orange with enough warmth that it can never make you look washed out. Or even for the darker girls the color is perfect. It will make you stand out of the crowd but make sure when you a have such bold color your skin should look flawless. Don’t worry, that is not difficult as we have so many primers and good foundations that can help you achieve that. Orange Edge’s texture is too smooth that it creates a nice finish which makes your pout look smoother and sexier. On the downside, orange edge can get slightly patchy after few ours when you talk or eat therefore you better wear a lip liner.

Recommended For: Fair skin to Dark skinned Indian girls

6. Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color – LC R3 Caramel Cut

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color - LC R3 Caramel Cut

Shade description and Review:

Moving on towards the browns. Caramel cut has a rich red hue with chocolate brown base. It can be tried by all the skin types but we still would advise the medium skinned girls to ignore such colors as they can make the skin look dull. So, who can use this? Fair and dusky skinned ones can easily carry such colors. Back in the 90s browns were quite popular in Bollywood as we have seen many actresses wearing brown lipstick shades. The subtle color makes it an appropriate Lakme lipstick for daily use for office, college etc.

Recommended For: Fair skin and dark skin

Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color - MP18 Plum Pick

Shade description and Review:

Plum Pick is a very flattering color which is for all the skin types. The mixture of plum tones and pink is the highlight of this color. This can be your daily use color for the office, college, meetings etc. fro just ‘casual get togethers’ too when you refrain from wearing hot reds and bold pinks, then lipstick shades like these are suitable. It is a good Lakme lip color for dark Indian girls.

Recommended For: Fair skin, medium, wheatish dark skin

8. Lakme 9 to 5 Primer + Matte Lip Color – MR12 Crimson Catch

Shade description and Review:

Crimson catch is a very deep red that can also be referred as a wine or marsala inspired lipstick shade. This deep hot red is also a bridal appropriate lipstick shade like a bride can try for her wedding or even for the post wedding functions like reception etc. You may have seen many aunties and mature ladies in our families would have this fetish for such lipstick shades. So, if you mum too likes a color like this. It can be great gifting option for her too.

Flaming function can be taken as a deep pink with berry tones. Berry hues in this color makes it a suitable Lakme lipstick for almost all the Indian skin tones and complexions. You can sport such ravishing color for either daily use after the marriage or for the office even. Many girls these day are heading towards brighter lipstick shades that can brighten their face hence a color like this is a sure shot perfect.

10. Lakme 9 to 5 Crease-less Creme Lipstick – CP11 Rose Line

Shade description and Review:

Rose line has a very neutral tone with pluminess. Take violet and brown and mix them, you get this color, well most probably. This can be used by everyone, but in my opinion, it can look dull on medium skin. Though for dusky skin the color would be great for everyday wear for office, work, college etc.

Recommended For: All Indian skin tones
