Lipsticks
Matte lipsticks made for brown skin
NYLA's eleven matte lipsticks are made for Pakistani skin tones, so they show up rich on brown skin instead of turning ashy.
For an everyday nude, try Future History, Scouts Honour or Pretend. For a red, Unstable suits every skin tone and Lips That You Like is its cooler twin. Deeper berries come in Scarlet Letters and Auroras, and Ghosted is a vivid fuchsia.

Questions, answered
How do I choose a lipstick shade for my skin tone?
Start with your undertone. If gold jewellery suits you best, you probably have warm undertones: try Future History, Scouts Honour, Ready To Ruin, Stab or Good Riddance. If silver suits you, go cooler with Lips That You Like, Auroras or Ghosted. Pretend and Unstable are neutral. Still unsure? Try every shade on your own face.
What are the best nude and brown shades?
Our three most-ordered lipsticks in October were all browns and nudes: Future History (warm terracotta-brown), Pretend (muted rose-mauve) and Scouts Honour (deep warm brown).
Which red lipstick suits brown skin?
Unstable is a bright true red with neutral undertones that works on all skin tones. Lips That You Like is a cooler, blue-based red, Stab a warm burnt orange-red and Good Riddance a warm coral-red.
How long do NYLA lipsticks last?
Our matte lipsticks give full colour in one or two swipes and last up to 8 hours with minimal transfer. For the longest wear, start with clean, moisturised lips and blot after the first layer.
Will a matte lipstick dry out my lips?
NYLA lipsticks are made to be matte without the dryness, so they stay comfortable through a long day. For very dry lips, smooth on a thin layer of lip balm a few minutes before, then blot it away so the colour grips.
