If you’re not an avid eyeshadow fan, lipsticks are the one aspect of your makeup that you can experiment with. From a glittering shade of blue to the darkest matte brown you can think of, there’s a lipstick shade for everyone. However, in Pakistan’s sweltering heat and bustling days in the city, you need makeup that’s easy to put on day in and day out. Here’s where you can find the perfect shade of nude lipstick for daily wear.
1. This brand is cruelty and paraben free
Founded by Anny Shahid (@mrsannyshahid), a believer in beauty and health going hand in hand in makeup, Accenti Beauty (@accenti.beauty) is all about seamless makeup. The ambitious start-up has taken the Pakistani cosmetic industry by storm. With its manufacturing done in Italy, the products are set to bring back the glory days of makeup’s past. Anny has said that their brand is a luxury brand and it’s competing with international brands not only in terms of quality but also accessibility. They started out with three luxury matte lipsticks that are perfect for any kind of makeup look. Their formula is meant to be long lasting and hydrating for the lips. Far too often lipsticks leave you with chapped lips and a disconnected application, but with Accenti Beauty you have nothing to worry about. Accenti Beauty offers three shades, Temptation (a brown toned nude), Spell Bound (a little more on the pink side), and Charm (just the perfect undertones of peach).
Not only are the lipsticks the perfect velvety finish, their components are sturdy and beautiful to look at. Everything from their formula to their packaging screams luxury and is definitely set to compete with international standards. Each lipstick is priced at Rs. 1500 and is vegan, cruelty free and paraben free. Check out their stunning Instagram feed here!
