Her smile can light up an entire room and she naturally flushed pahadi skin can make anyone go green with envy. Can you guess who we’re talking about? Yes, it’s none other than the gorgeous Yami Gautam. The pretty actress has been serving us major skin and makeup goals since she first made her debut opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in Vicky Donor.
Even though Yami usually prefers the no-makeup makeup look (with skin that gorgeous, we don’t really blame her), she is often seen experimenting with some bold lip colours. So, on the occasion of her 32nd birthday today, we have rounded up five Yami-approved bold lipstick shades that every girl needs in her kitty this party season…
1. Bold Brick
For girls who want to wear a statement pout, but don’t want to anything too bright, a brick hued lipstick is the way to go. A cross between red and orange with brown undertones, this lipstick brightens up your face and gives you a statement-worthy pout.
BB picks: Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color - Brick Bloom
2. Whimsical Wine
Absolutely perfect for the party season, a bold wine lipstick is a winter staple, and Yami knows that. Pair this statement lip colour with a blingy dress for a date night or the NYE party, and you are bound to receive a ton of compliments.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color - Wine n Dine
3. Ravishing Red
Can you imagine your party lipstick kit without a red lipstick you absolutely love? Well, neither can Yami. Pair your red lippie with subtle shimmery lids, classic winged eyeliner and dense lashes — this is a party makeup look you can never go wrong with.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color - Firestarter Red
4. Playful Purple
Want to try something different this party season? This purple lipstick shade on Yami may just be what you’re looking for. Even though it’s not for the faint-hearted, we love Yami is pulling it off so effortlessly. If you decide to wear this lipstick, remember to keep the rest of your makeup minimal to balance things out.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute 3D Lipstick - Explosive Purple
5. Beautiful Berry
Another lipstick shades that we absolutely love for the winter season is a berry hue. Perfect for both day and night events, this lipstick shade looks extremely flattering on all Indian skin tones. Berry lip colours are a must-try for girls who are bored of wearing the usual reds and maroons and want to try something new this year.
