Getting ready for a date night is so fun. You put on a cute dress, pair it up with your fave heels, and sweep on your favourite red lipstick. However, when it comes to brunch dates, well, that’s tricky business. You need to strike the right balance to avoid looking OTT. So, to make sure you look nothing but stunning on your brunch date, we’ve rounded up five celeb-approved lipstick looks that are perfect for a daytime look. Check ‘em out!

01. Glossy brown like Deepika Padukone

You can never go wrong with brown lipsticks, and if the queen bee approves it herself, then who are we, mere mortals, to say otherwise? You can choose a nice glossy or cream-based brown lipstick to pucker your pout. We suggest keeping the rest of your makeup subtle to draw focus to your lips.

If you haven’t had the chance to grace your lips with coral lipstick, now is the right time. Take cues from Janhvi and opt for a peachy shade to take your brunch look several notches higher. This pretty lip colour flatters all skin types and is bound to garner (more than a few) compliments.

We’re in love with this look from Priyanka, and it’s perfect for your brunch date with beau. Keep your base makeup natural like PeeCee, and just add a little blush around your cheekbones. Now, to the star look - your lipstick. We suggest picking a soft hue of red instead of bold and dark red lipstick while you’re getting ready for brunch. The idea is to give your lips a blotted, stained effect.

Nudes are always a good idea for a day look, and this lovely look by Sonam proves just that! To ace the look, make sure you use sheer foundation for a natural-looking base and then for your eyes, try the smudged cat eyeliner like Sonam. Then, dab some nude pink shade of lipstick, and you’re ready to rock your date.
