S-PEACH-LESS
The peach lipstick is a versatile shade that flatters a wide range of skin tones
Red is bold. Nude is classic. But peach? Peach is that effortlessly cool cousin who always looks fresh, fun, and put-together without trying too hard. Yet, for some reason, peach lipstick doesn’t get nearly as much love as it deserves. If you’ve ever overlooked this shade while swiping through lipstick options, it’s time to reconsider. Peach is not just a “summery” colour —it’s a year-round confidence booster, a skin-brightener, and (spoiler alert) it suits everyone. “It is a soft but subtle colour that just adds a pop of shine to your lips,’’ says Samara Kapoor, a beauty enthusiast.
Peach lipstick is like the iced coffee of the beauty world —light, refreshing, and always a good idea. It sits right in that sweet spot between pink and orange, making it a versatile shade that flatters a wide range of skin tones.
A PERFECT PEACH
Not all peach lipsticks are created equal. The trick is finding the right shade for your skin tone and preference. Here’s a quick cheat sheet: “Peach lipsticks bring a soft, sun-kissed warmth to the face, making them a go-to for a fresh, effortless look. They work beautifully across seasons, from a dewy summer glow to a cozy autumn vibe,” says Shalini Shah, a make-up artist. The magic of peach lipstick lies in its balance of warm and cool tones. It brightens up fair skin without looking too harsh, adds warmth to medium skin tones, and enhances deeper skin tones with a gorgeous sun-kissed glow.
PEACHY SPIRIT
Need lipstick for brunch? Peach. A casual day at work? Peach. A wedding guest look? Still peach. Unlike red, which screams “I’m making a statement,” or nude, which sometimes makes you look like you just applied concealer to your lips, peach is effortlessly chic. “There are so many ways in which you can style your outfit with a peach lipstick, its just so versatile’’ says Richelle Fernandes, a college student.
Peach lipstick might not be the first shade you think of when reaching for a go-to lip colour, but once you try it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t hop on the peach train sooner. It’s fresh, flattering, and fun — everything you want in lipstick. “Peach lipsticks have become a safety net in beauty — everyone reaches for them because they’re flattering, but the overuse has made them predictable. So if you want to explore, go for deeper corals, rich berries, and unexpected nudes to break the monotony,” says Lara Dutt, a bridal makeup artist.
So next time you’re stuck choosing between red or nude, take a detour into peach territory. You just might find your new signature shade.
