Go deeper and warmer than your natural colour, not lighter. A lipstick a shade deeper than your lips looks like your lips on their best day; a lighter one looks like concealer. The same goes for foundation and blush. Not sure where you fall? The undertone test takes two minutes, and the lipstick shade finder picks by your depth and undertone.
Picked by colour from every lipstick and crayon in the range: the deep nudes, browns, berries, wines and warm reds. Tap a shade to open it, then try it on your face.

Hot DealThe virtual try-on puts any lipstick, blush or foundation shade on your camera or a selfie, so you judge it on your skin and your light. For the full routine, read makeup for dusky and deep Indian skin, nude lipstick for dusky skin and lipstick for dark lips.
Deeper and warmer than your natural lip: cocoa and mocha browns, warm caramels, wine, plum and brick reds. These read rich on dusky skin. Pale, cool pinks and chalky nudes are the ones that look washed out. Every shade below opens in the virtual try-on so you can check it on your own face.
A nude for dusky skin should be one shade deeper than your lips, never lighter. Look at the brown-based nudes: Cocoa Crush, Velvet Mocha, Copper Bliss and Midnight Brownie in the Intense Creamy Matte range, Mocha Nude and Choco Rose in the lip crayon, and the deeper nudes in Zero Fade. Our nude lipstick for dusky skin guide goes shade by shade.
Dark or pigmented lips need an opaque formula so the lip colour does not show through. A full-coverage matte or liquid matte in a deep nude, brown or berry works best; sheer and glossy finishes turn uneven. See the lipstick for dark lips guide for the prep steps.
Start from the deeper end of each range and match the shade that disappears into your jawline in daylight. If two are close, take the deeper, warmer one: a foundation that is too light or too cool turns grey on dusky skin. Each foundation page shows its shades from lightest to deepest, and the shade finder narrows it to one or two.
Deeper, warmer blush shows up without looking ashy: brick, terracotta, rust and crimson. Soft baby pinks tend to disappear. The deeper shades of the Pop & Pout blush stick and the Dusky Rose & Yum Bronze duo are built for this.
