6 lipsticks under Rs 500 that are an absolute must have

When it comes to makeup, good lipstick can transform your entire look in minutes. Just one swipe and you are ready for the day. But all our hard work goes in vain when either the shade of lipstick doesn't suit your skin tone or it smudges within a few hours.

In such a situation, you need some good quality long-lasting lip shades which will last for a long time and give a perfect finish to your makeup. Now you will feel that if you want good quality, then you have to pay a good price, but if you get a good lipstick within the budget, then it is icing on the cake, isn't it?

Matte lipsticks have found a place in our hearts as well as our makeup vanities. These usually last longer on the lips, are transfer-proof, and are more pigmented than other formulas. The only problem is finding a matte lipstick that is also comfortable.

Since long-lasting and pigmented formulas often dry out the lips, it is important that you try lipsticks that are hydrating as well as matte.
