The makeup world has greatly changed to include diverse products for different types of skin. Before men and women from South Asia dominated Instagram and YouTube, people with brown skin didn’t have many options when it came to makeup. It took a lot of trial and error, and more than a few disappointing returns for someone an Indian or brown person to find a lipstick that actually popped against the skin color or a foundation that matched their face.
Thankfully, things are fast changing and more cosmetics brands are expanding their product lines to accommodate Indian skin. For someone without prior experience, it can be confusing to find the best product in this market that is overly saturated. We’ve made things a little bit easy for you by listing some of the best makeup brands for Indian skin.
LA Girl Corrector
Indian skin is quite prone to pigmentation around the forehead, chin, and nose due to exposure to the sun. A deep orange corrector will help you conceal pigmentation on your skin or dark circles that are too dark to be properly concealed.
Banana Powder
When looking for setting powders, you’ll find that most of them are translucent. For this reason, they are not that effective of on Indian skin and tend to leave a glassy residue. The best product for this skin tone is banana powder or yellow tinted setting powder.
White Eyeliner
White eyeliners look great on Indian skin tones and you should definitely try it out if you like being more creative with your looks.
Red Lipstick
Some people may say that red lipstick doesn’t brown or Indian skin. Don’t listen to them. It looks absolutely smashing, so try it out.
Neon Eyeshadow
When it comes to applying eyeshadow on dark or brown skin, most people will advise you to only use nudes. But this isn’t totally true since you can use a palette of different colors to create so many creative looks that will contrast beautifully on Indian skin. Therefore, you should try it.
Colorful Eyeliners
Colorful eyeliners look really beautiful and are currently trending. They blend makeup brands for Indian skin and you can easily create looks that are edgy for everyday wear.
Liquid Highlighter
We recommend using liquid highlighter on Indian skin as it looks much more natural, and will give your skin a dewy and glassy look. Just slap on a few drops of this product for a natural glow, or go hard with it for a full-coverage makeup look.
