Top 10 High-end Lipsticks 💄for BROWN SKIN | HUDA Beauty, Smashbox, MAC, Rare Beauty and more!

Hello! It's raining lipsticks lol! Lipsticks are my favorite category of products to talk about, to demo, to film, so don't be surprised that I'm here with another lipstick swatch video lol.
Big disclaimer before I get into details of the products, affordability is subjective and what I find high-end, you may find basic and vice-versa. For the purposes of this video, high end lipsticks are lipsticks with an MRP of INR 1,000 - 2500 (roughly 12 - 32 USD) The intention behind this video is to help you if you are considering these kinds of lipsticks and are in/around my skin tone. I am not advocating for spending beyond one's means (you know your situation the best) and if there is a tiny chance that you may not feel so good after watching this video; please don't watch this video! Idea is to help and I truly hope you find this video useful!

I think we should invest in mini as much as possible as we are not able to even use the full lipstick for 3 years even use everyday

[@mashantha]

Completely agree! Minis over full-sizes always! Unfortunately not all brands create minis or offer them standalone; usually it is only offered as a GWP (Gift with Purchase) 🤷🏾‍♀️ I wish all lipsticks had a mini variant - that would be amazing

[@chanderguptapurva968]

Yes true. I like this thing about patmcgrath lipstick they provide mini for all shade

[@srishtitanwar6944]

Lovely video. Very insightful, didn’t know so many terms like transfer proof, oxidising of lipstick, applicator.
A video suggestion: If you could also help with good lip glosses/gels for everyday use.

[@mashantha]

Thanks so much for taking the time out to watch and share your thoughts :) Will try to make one on what you suggest - I don’t have many lip glosses (probably just 1-2) because I am not a big fan of the formula. Especially when we have to wear masks :/
but happy to show what I have, and stuff to look for/keep in mind wrt glosses if that would be helpful!

I love High end. You will also like the Par McGrath liquid lipsticks.... they're budgeproof through the entire day

[@mashantha]

Ooh I’ve tried her matte trance lipsticks (love those!) but not the liquid ones! Must try them next - thanks so much for taking the time to watch and to comment :)
