Nude-brown to espresso, matched to your skin depth and undertone.
01 / 06
Soft nude-browns and caramel shades flatter fair skin without washing it out.
02 / 06
Warm brick and terracotta browns bring life to wheatish skin and work for day and evening.
03 / 06
Chocolate, espresso and mahogany look striking on deeper skin. Cool undertones should try a mauve-brown.
04 / 06
Pick a nude-brown at or below your natural lip colour. Lighter shades can look chalky on Indian skin.
05 / 06
Blot a thin balm, line and fill your lips, then apply thin layers and let each one dry for an even finish.
06 / 06
Hold an oil-based remover on your lips for 20–30 seconds, then wipe. Plain water won't shift long-wear formulas.
