Beauty: LIP COLOURS TO OOMPH UP YOUR WORK LOOK

The one rule we swear by when it comes to lip color is that there aren’t no rules! And no, we aren’t using that double negative for verbal prowess, we mean it. While there are no ground rules to picking a lipstick, knowing your basics can prevent many a faux pas. Especially for women who walk the boardrooms with as much panache as any other, it is important to strike a balanced look. We at BB hear you and dig out some lip colors to oomph up your office look.

Grey skirt suitTo add a bright spin to an otherwise edgy grey skirt-suit, pair it with contrasting pink lips that range from bright fuchsias to shades very close to your natural lip color.

We recommend: The Pink sorbet from the Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints range, Fuschia Field, Rose Alert, Candy Commission and Pink Charge from Lakmé’s 9 to 5 Crease-Less series and Red Carpet from the Lakmé Absolute Crème Lipcolor are perfect to create a balanced look!

Pastels and pearlsSpring is the best time to pull out those vintage frills and pastels that team well with rose and hot pink lip colors. While pastels can look too light and hot pink can scream too loud, together they make a balanced professional look. Add a splash of soft pink or berry to pep up this lovely, feminine office look.

We recommend: The Berry Pink from the Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints and Sorbet Tuesday, Candy Closure, Pink Powder, Pink Ambition from Lakmé’s 9 to 5 Matte lip color range can help pep-up this look!Seal this look with the Lakmé Eyeconic liner in Grey.

Black or white suitBlack and whites give a leeway for you to pick the reds. Go for the daring red to prompt a striking contrast with a sober black suit or a white jacket. Red lipstick can add a punch of quirk as well as class. Just be sure to tone down the rest of your look.

We recommend: The brown tinted, Red Coat from Lakmé’s 9 to 5 matte range can fix your day look, the Rustic Red and Red Delight from Lakmé Absolute Crème Gloss range is perfect for a formal night.Seal this look with the Lakmé Eyeconic Black liner.

Pinstripe suitsTo nail that corporate look with a pinstripe suit in navy blue or emerald green, consider an appropriate shade for your complexion; shades of light browns or nude hues. Go for a nude effect with a faint color lip gloss that matches your attire.

We recommend: Playing around with Plum Rush from the Lakmé Absolute Lip tints or Wildberry Wednesdays from the Lakmé’s 9 to 5 Matte Lip color range. Depending on your complexion, you could also dab Lakmé Absolute Plump and Shine Lip Gloss in Beige Shine on your lips.Seal this look with a Lakmé Eyeconic Black liner.

Boardroom beiges and brownsNudes hues come handy when going for subtle attire and to soften a bright ensemble. When pairing shades of beige for a formal occasion you can use subtle lipsticks in soft rose or creamy nudes for a muted look. Also try peachy colors when teaming beige with dark-colored combinations like blacks and greens. Depending on the shade of brown, you can even throw in a surprising red!

We recommend: The Nude Rose and Candy Kiss from the Lakmé Absolute Crème Lip Color range, the Matte Brick from Lakmé’s 9 to 5 Matte Lip Color range and Peach Please from the Lakmé Absolute Lip Tints to seal the deal!Seal this look with a Lakmé Eyeconic liner in Brown.
