In pictures: Five lipstick shades that Swastika Mukherjee swears by

Red hot and dazzling — Tollywood diva Swastika Mukherjee’s latest Instagram post shows her shining in a vibrant red lipstick. Fashionistas who love a no-makeup, fuss-free look, a bright lippie can help you zhuzh up your look with minimal effort. Red is a timeless shade that never goes out of fashion. Whether it’s Taylor Swift, Deepika Padukone or Swastika Mukherjee, a well-pigmented, creamy red lipstick is a must-have

Pretty in pink with a hint of shimmer — the actress, who has been doing impressive work in Bollywood as well as Bengali and Hindi OTT platforms, sure knows how to add a touch of sparkle to her look. A baby pink lipstick with a glossy sheen is a quick and easy way to transform subtle makeup into something party-ready

Less is more — that’s why nude lips remain a timeless trend. For a day look that complements black or brown smokey eyes, a perfect shade of nude is a must-have in your makeup bag. Quick tip: for after-parties or unexpected plans, keep a shiny lip gloss handy to transition from your day to night look

Peach perfect — pink shades come in many variations. While a classic pink, Barbiecore (‘rani colour’ in Bengali) or nude is essential, a peachy lipstick is just as important. It also serves as a cheek tint and cream eyeshadow and adds a finishing touch to a dewy makeup look. Tip: On humid days, take your pick of cream-based peach tints depending on your skin type and whether you will be spending time indoors or outdoors

More maroon, please! Swastika Mukherjee can effortlessly rock any outfit and she can also flaunt a blackish maroon lipstick with equal grace. While choosing darker shades can be tricky, having one or two in your collection is essential, especially for ‘desi’, boho chic or Indo-western looks
