Lip gloss can do much more than add shine. The right one can make your lips look fresh, smooth and fuller while adding just enough colour to lift your whole makeup look. The trick is choosing a lip gloss for Indian skin that works with your complexion and undertone.
If a gloss has ever looked perfect in the tube but not quite right on your lips, this lip guide will make choosing your next one much easier.
What Is the Purpose of Lip Gloss?
The purpose of lip gloss is not only to create a shiny finish. It can add a sheer wash of colour, give the lips more dimension or work as a glossy topper over lipstick. Depending on the shade and finish, you can go from a simple everyday lip to something more fun for an evening out.
Start With Your Undertone
Before choosing a gloss shade, it helps to know your undertone. Warm undertones generally work well with peach, coral, warm nude and bronze colours, while cooler undertones often suit rosy pinks, berries, mauves and plums. Neutral undertones can usually play with both.
Knowing this makes choosing lip shades according to skin tone feel much less like guesswork.
Best Gloss Shades for Indian Skin Tones
There are no fixed rules in makeup, but these shades for Indian skin tone are a good place to start.
Fair to light skin: Soft pinks, peachy shades and warm nudes can keep the look fresh. If you enjoy a little sparkle, try W7 Lip Bounce Light Reflecting Lip Gloss. It has a shimmering, light-catching finish and comes in shades such as Soft Pink, Tan Rose, Day Dream and Poppin’.
Medium, wheatish and olive skin: Rose, mauve, coral, caramel and warm berry tones can complement the warmth in these complexions. For a juicy finish, W7 Thick Drip Lip Gloss adds colour, hydration and ultra-glossy shine without a sticky feel.
Dusky to deep skin: Richer shades such as berry, wine, plum, deep rose and brown-toned nudes can look beautiful. When choosing a nude, try one with caramel, brown or warm rose depth rather than going too pale.
Clear or Coloured Gloss?
Not every glossy lip needs extra colour. W7 Lip Gloss Wand – Clear can be worn directly on bare lips or layered over lipstick, making it an easy option when you already have a lip shade you love.
Want more colour? W7 Full Time Lips gives you pigmented lip colour on one end and a high-shine sealer on the other, so you can get colour and gloss in one look.
