With lipstick day 2018 only 2 days away, it's time to dip into your makeup kit and add a new colour to your lips. No, we aren't talking about the regular reds and pinks that are done to death. We're talking about the magnificent shades you spy in a makeup store but are too intimidated to try. What better time to give these bold shades a chance than on a day dedicated to lipstick. And it isn't just us saying it. Rozar Lobo, Makeup Artist at The Body Shop India says, "In line with the make-up trends, bold colours go well on Indian skin tones. While they do not accentuate the make on such warm and dusky tones, bold shades make the features look sharp and pronounces the lips."
