Top 10 Kylie Jenner Lip Shades & Dupes In India
By Sanchita
Very recently Kylie Jenner has introduced the personalized Lip kit of hers and the colors are oh-so-amazing! She has been famous for her gorgeous plush pout and it is a brand in itself. Some of the colors are so amazing that you just can’t stop staring at it. Kylie revels that the secret behind her pretty pout is the definition i.e. the lining of lips with a similar colored lip liner with that of the lipstick. She vowed that it makes a radical difference when we use the lip liner with lipstick. Now that we are so smitten with her amazing lips, let us see the possible dupes we can find in India to imitate the pout we have been gushing about.
1. Maroon Lips
Kylie doesn’t shy away from dark lips and I have to admit, the colors are quite unconventional. The color on her lips is stark maroon with a hint of brown undertones. Generally maroons always have a reddish undertones, something like MAC Diva but this one is the different one. For this, I found Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Matte – Wine Not is the perfect choice. It is matte, similar to that of the picture and gives a nice definition to the lips.
2. Red Lips
Red hot lips is the favorite for very women and Kylie carries it off like a diva. The perfect choice for the color she is wearing would be MAC Ruby Woo, SUGAR Cosmetics Matte As Hell Crayon Scarlet O’Hara and Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Crème Deep Red. All three shades are readily available in the Indian market, they are gorgeous pigmented, matte and brightens up the face like nothing else. Make sure to line the lips with a red lip liner for the perfect pout.
3. Nude Lips
Kylie rocks the neutral lip colors like no other celebrity. She can do minimal eye and lips at the same time and she kill it. My perfect pick for the nude lips, comparable to what she is wearing on the picture would be Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick Undressed and MAC Yash Lipstick. If you are slightly dusky or with medium complexion, try the Colorbar Take me as I am Lip Color Bare Dare Pink. In this color she has a slight sheen on the lips so I am guessing it is a satin finish lipstick. You can dab a thin layer of lip balm to get the sheen on the lips.
4. Soft Pink Lips
A nice everyday muted pink lips. This is a great color even wearable in office. For Indian skin tones, the color would be very close to Chambor Powder Matte Lipstick Desert Rose and Tom Ford Indian Rose. Both the color are matte in texture and all you need is a muted pink lip liner like Colorbar Lip Definer Splendid Pink to line and fill the lips. Then apply the lip color and voila! You are done. Pair it up with a soft kohl look or neutral eyes.
5. Vampy Lips
This one is surely not for faint hearted. A plum black vampy ombre lips is the perfect one for the fall/winter look. For this lip color, you need a darkish maroon lip liner like MAC Nightmoth Lip Pencil or NYX lip liner Currant to line and fill the lips leaving out the centre part of lower lips. Then apply MAC Prince Noir Lipstick, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen or Revlon Super Lustrous – Black Cherry along the lips leaving the centre part of lower lips. Use a brush to merge the color to have that ombre effect.
6. Tea Rose Lips
This is absolutely my favorite one among all her looks. The lipstick gives a soft rosy/tea rose pink touch to the lips and it is up to you whether to wear it as matte or satin finish. You can wear the color literally for anything and everything and you would still look gorgeous. My favorite picks are Estee Lauder Pure Color Lipstick Rose Tea, Faces Canada I Do #11 Ultime Pro Velvet Matte, L’Oreal Color Riche Natural Lipstick in Velvet Rose. You can also wear it as a soft wash of color on the lips. Also, Chambor Powder Matte Lipstick in Sugar Pink is a very close dupe of this color and looks great on Indian skin.
7. Glossy Brown Nude Lips
A nude glossy brown with smoky look is the terrific combination. I loved how Kylie carried off the soft black-brown smoky eyes, flawless base with a slight wash of earthy blush on cheeks and the glossy nude brown lips. For the lips, the only thing I came close to is the MAC Half ‘n Half Amplified Creme Lipstick. It gives a smooth shine to the lips and extremely long wearing.
8. Dark Brown Lips
I really had a tough time finding a dupe of this one. The color is a pure dark brown color with no undertones whatsoever. Generally a brown always comes with an undertone to suit the complexion but the one Kylie is wearing is totally unconventional. Thanks to the humongous range of MAC lipsticks, I found that MAC Antique Velvet and MAC Lady Mystery are the closest dupe for this one. The color is so loud in itself that the cheeks and eyes has to be kept very minimal.
9. Signature Kylie Jenner Lip Color
The ultimate lip color for which we applause her like a diva. For the lip liner part, I would advise to go for the Colorbar Lip Pencil Nude Pink. Then apply the Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Crème – Deep Earth or MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick and dab a thin layer of lip balm. This is the lip color you can wear anytime of the day and still look gorgeous. The color is such that it would suit each and every Indian skin tones. A totally bang on color!
10. Earthy Mauve Lips
The last one is the stark matte earthy mauve lip color. Also, a great color for the fair to medium skin tones. For this, first you need something that resembles MAC Whirl lip liner to line and fill the lip completely. Next, apply the MAC Twig Lipstick all over the lips. Blot it with a tissue and dust some translucent powder on top of it. This will give a stunning matte finish to the lips and also make it long lasting.
Editor’s note: Those are some fabulous dupes Sanchita. I would like to recommend a few Kylie Jenner shades in general: Maybelline Lip Gradation in Mauve, Colorbar Kiss Proof Lip stain in Mauve Dusk and Haute Latte, Colorbar Deep Matte Lip Cream in Deep Cocoa, Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream in 09, 17 and 17A, Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Sultry. I know there are still many but could only think of these few for now 😀 I will update this post whenever I come across more Kylie Jenner dupes, so keep a check on this post.
