5 Flattering Nude Lipsticks For Every Indian Bride

The power of a perfect nude lipstick is like no other. You can wear it with glitzy evening gown just as easily as you can team it with vibrant festive pieces. Of late, it has been the go-to pick for celebrity brides. For her wedding in January 2023, former Khush cover girl Athiya Shetty went with a soft glam look with her old rose Anamika Khanna lehenga—think blush pink eyeshadow with nude pink lips. A wash of brownish barely-there gloss won Alia Bhatt’s vote with her ivory Sabyasachi sari for her intimate wedding in April 2022. Rewind back to November 2021, you’ll recall another Sabyasachi bride Katrina Kaif’s nude pink lipstick paired with her floral sari for her engagement.

But finding the perfect nude lipstick is like finding a perfect pair of jeans. What looks gorgeous on you, might look vanilla on the other. Add to that the wide array of brands and finishes. So how do you choose the most flattering nude lipstick to suit your mood and skin tone? Renowned London-based makeup artist Ganga shares her favourites, from matte lipsticks to creamy textures.


Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk Original
“I love Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk Original’s creamy matte formula. It is one of my go-to nudes for brides who want a nude pink.” Infused with antioxidant lipstick tree and orchid extract along with vitamin E, it helps to soften the lips.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk Original: £27



Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk Medium
“Another favourite from the same range is the shade in Medium. It boasts the same texture as the Original, and is long-lasting and hydrating. But as the name suggests, the Medium is better for brides with medium to deep skin tones who still want a nude lipstick.” With 3D glowing pigments, the shade creates the illusion of lit-from-within lips.

MAC Cosmetics Velvet Teddy Lipstick
“MAC’s Velvet Teddy features a lovely creamy matte finish. I also love it for its nude beige tone.” Although giving a full matte finish, the iconic lipstick comes in a creamy rich formula. It promises an intense lip colour and comfortable 10-hour wear.

MAC Cosmetics Velvet Teddy Lipstick: £20



NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm
“You can also consider NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm. A liquid lip colour with a very velvety texture.” Starting with a creamy formula for easy application, it sets to a lightweight matte finish and exudes a sweet scent.

Chanel Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in 402 Adrienne
“I love Chanel’s Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in 402 Adrienne. A hydrating lipstick, it is great for dry lips and gives a high shine finish.” Its combination of three vegetable waxes nourishes the lips, while its new polymer film and silicone microbeads encourage lasting hold and boosted shine.
