We’ve all been there – from opening your front camera to going to the washroom to check up on the lipstick. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could skip it all and keep looking fabulous the entire day? We spoke to a few Mumbai women and asked them about their favourite lipsticks that stand the test of time (food, drinks and talking) through the day.

Affordable and effective, that’s how we’d describe Sugar Lipsticks. Their Matte As Hell Crayons work very well with Mumbai’s weather. They do not chap your lips and keep the pigment in place.
