Give your lips a natural stain

To organically colour your lips, just eat these


Before the advent of lipsticks, women would use foods that would colour their lips. Not only do they keep your lips healthy, but also keep the colour on for a long time. So, if you wish to ditch chemically-treated lipsticks, here are a few options for you.

Beetroot

Wish to sport that maroon or red pout? Opt for beetroot. Apart from increasing the supply of blood in your body, rubbing a little beetroot just before you step outside your house will give a nice stain on your lips and the colour will also stay on for a good amount of time. Further, if the colour subsides, it will still make your lips look pink.


Rose petals

Not just for the smell, rose petals are also known to colour your lips. Crush and grind a few petals and make a paste out of it. Keep the paste on your lips for approximately 10-15 minutes and wash it off. The colour will stay on for a long time.

Betel leaf

Popularly known as 'paan' in Hindi, women a few decades ago used this to colour their lips on their wedding day! If you are running short of time and just realise that you haven't applied a lipstick, don't panic. Chew a betel leaf so that it gives you a nice pale colour that stays on for a good duration of time.


Strawberries

If you wish to go in for that pink or nude lip colour, there's nothing better than rubbing a little strawberry paste or juice on your lips. Not only will it give your lips a shine shade, but will also give it a natural shine that will keep your lips hydrated for a long time.
