Lipstick Shades To Suit NC42 Abidha asks... Hi Samyukta, I have been following your blog for sometime now. I really love how you care about girls with low budget and do looks for them. I do have a question running through my mind for sometime now...I tried to get help from ladies at the counters from maybelline, mac, inglot, chanel, etc.. but they are just interested in making me buy something somehow than help me. Now to my question: I have only used brownish nude lipstick till now. I want to try some color on my lips like red and pink. I am shade NC42. I always thought red lipsticks are only for fair people. But I read one of your posts where you said red lips are for all. And then I see your pics with such gorgeous lippies (as you call them). I am truly inspired and want to try...but how will I find one if no one will help me.. Please do tell me what colors would suit my skin shade. I would truly and sincerely appreciate your help. God bless
