Comment "Pigtails!" if you made it till here!!
Frankly I'm not overtly happy with the swatches. But all shades do not show true in the same lighting somehow :( Nonetheless, this should give you a fair idea about the shades.

Shade 01: An orange-red shade.

Shade 03: I know this washes me out like a ghost. But I mix this on top of darker shades to either lighten the shade or create an ombre effect (especially with Sugar Vivid Magenta) and Oh my! I love it! Also it mattifies the lipstick just right.

Shade 05: The swatch does not do justice at all. This is an exact dupe of NYX SMLC in Antwerp. It's a beautiful coral, leaning more towards pink. This needs 2-3 layers for an opaque uniform application. Will suit fair skin tones

Shade 07: A purple based fuscia. It's a buildable shade. Love it!

Shade 08: A peachy neutral. Will suit fair to medium skintone.

Shade 10: A true red. Makes my teeth look whiter. Will suit all skin tones.

Shade 11: It's a brighter pink in real life. This shade brightens up the complexion. A great shade for round the year.

Shade 12: A shade deeper and brighter than "shade 07". Another favourite. Purple based lipshades always make the teeth seem whiter and suits indian skin tone beautifully. 

Shade 15A: A pink based nude. Not as pale as the swatch in real. A pretty nude for fair skin. Goes on a little streaky. Needs more coats.

Shade 16A: Light pink with warm undertones.

Shade 17A: A universally flattering shade. It's a pink with slight brown undertones and hence makes for a perfect nude for various skin tones. It shows up different on different people but looks amazing on everyone. A sure keeper.

Shade 18A: A true bright orange. Very difficult to carry. Definitely not for the faint hearted.

Shade 30: A bright peach.

Shade 31: A brown based nude. Needs more coats for an opaque application.

Shade 35: A deep neon-ish pink.

Shade 38: A muted dusty rose shade. My second favourite!

Shade 39: A shade lighter than 38.

Shade 42: This one's my favourite!! It's a beautiful wine shade which suits indian skintone like a charm. Looks more deeper wine than in the swatch. A deep yet not an 'in-your-face' kinda shade. If you want to try a deeper shade but scared it'll look "too much", try this!

Shade 47: Another very in trend shade. It's a muted nude with cool undertones. This shade will go with any make up look or any shade of clothes you wear. This one has a permanent place in my hand bag.

Hope this helps! Since I could not find many swatches for the new shades, only fair I upload them myself.

Top 10 Nude Lip Favourites [Roundup'16]

I'm obsessed with lippies. I usually steer clear from foundations on a daily basis. I'm mostly kohl and a lipstick kinda girl. 
However currently, I'm  loving a no eye kohl/liner look with a dash of blush, mascara and lipstick! 

So I was re-arranging my stash the other day and I realized I have way too many nudes (which means no buying new ones!!)  So, I had to jot down my favourite Nude lipsticks in my stash. Hope this helps you incase you are looking for a nude lippie.

So in no real order or rhyme, here goes:

 

L-R: Lakme 9to5 Coffee Command, Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 19, Revlon Rosy Nude, Maybelline Warm Me Up, StudioWest Honey Glaze 

In sunlight

In shade

Lakme 9to5 Coffee Command: 
Price: Rs.320/-
A warm brown with peach undertone. It has a powdery matte finish. This is the closest dupe I've found to the famous 'My Mahogany' which has been discontinued for quite a while now.

Rimmel KateMoss 19: 
Price: Rs.215/-
 A perfect brownish nude with rose undertones. This is my MLBB shade. I have pigmented lips and this covers the pigmentation in 1 swipe itself. It is creamy in texture. It loses the creaminess in a while but it stays for almost 4 hours on me without eating. 
Fades evenly.


Revlon ColorBurst Lipcolor in Rosy Nude: 
Price: Rs.580 /- 
True to it's name, it is a rosy nude shade. It is almost similar to Rimmel 19, just slightly more peachy. On my lips they look the same. This is more creamy and more moisturising than Rimmel. Has a smoother finish. Even if you have chapped dry lips, this will make it look luscious and flawless. Great for winters especially if you can't bear to wear another super dry matte liquid lipstick!

Maybelline Warm Me Up: 
Price: Rs.386/-
It does not show up as pink as the swatch but it is definitely a pinky nude. I feel this will suit only fair skinned girls coz' if not worn right or when I'm a little tanned this washes me out. 
PS: A very close dupe to MAC Brave.

StudioWest Honey Glaze:
 Price: Rs.450/-
 One of my favorite nude. Just the right blend of brown and peach. Brightens the face. Opaque in 1 swipe. Creamy in texture. Stays for almost 4-5 hours. I love this range from StudioWest (WestSide Cosmetics).

Fave Nudes: Swatches in sunlight

Fave Nudes: Swatches in shade

Streetwear color rich ultra moist lipstick in Berry dreamy:

 Price: Rs.199/-

 I love this streetwear lipstick range. Cute colours, decent stay and best of all... cheap! You can't go wrong with this one. It applies creamy but after a while it turns semi matte.   

Streetwear color rich ultra moist lipstick in Spellbound:

Price: Rs.199/-

A little darker nude. It has a slight mauve undertones.

Miss Clare Soft Matte Lip Cream in 31: 

Price: Rs.150-250/-

I could go on and on about this... A true peachy nude. This is one of the newer shades released. Love this one. A beautiful nude that'll suit many skin tones. The color looks beautiful on everyone. I also recommend 17A (A more pinkish nude) Powder matte finish. Lasts almost 5-6 hours on me.

Incolor Matte me 415: 

Price: Rs. 240-400/-

 I intentionally did not add more super dry matte lippies coz' it's winter and it's always good to give the lips a break and treat them well. However I HAD to add this one solely for the shade. A deep nude with heavy mauve undertones. Shall suit all skin tones. Dries into a super matte formula. Definitely need to exfoliate the lips first. Also can't re-apply over, since it gets all crumbly after 5-6 hours.

Which is your current fave nude lippie??
