Blessed indeed are the women born with a wheatish skin tone! The common Indian genhua complexion is any makeup artist’s dream come true. It is compatible with the largest number of shades and products. Here, we have compiled for you, a list of the most suitable lipstick shades that will pair perfectly with wheat.
But first things first. Before picking up the right lipstick shade, you need to know your ‘skin undertone’.
Whether you are aware of it or not, there are basically two skin undertones – warm and cool. And yes, there’s a neutral too. There are several techniques to identify yours, be it wrapping yourself in a white towel and wearing a bulky gold necklace or checking the colour of your veins on your wrists.
