The Right Shade of Nude For You

Nude lipstick is a easy way to make your ‘effortless look’, look like you have actually put in some effort.

Effortless but yet tricky!

Finding the perfect natural shade can be surprisingly difficult. If you go too cool, you risk washing out your complexion; too warm and you can wind up looking like you accidentally applied beige foundation all over your lips.

Below you will find nude lipstick shades for your complexion.

Fair Skin: 

To avoid looking washed out, try swiping on a muted light brown plum,with a touch of warmth to give you a nude look. We recommend MAC Satin Lipstick in Verve.

Christina Hendricks

Light Skin:

If you have a fair and milky skin tone, try a soft, dusty baby pink. We recommended Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Beige.

Kate Mara

Medium Skin: 

The depth of the lipstick colour should correlate with the skin tone, meaning the lighter the skin, the lighter the nude, and the darker skin, the darker the nude. Therefore with a medium undertone opt for a darker nude. We recommend Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Stripped Nude.

If you are looking for a more subtle look we recommend going for Channel Rouge Allure Velvet in the colour Libre.

Rihanna

Olive/Mediterranean Skin:

The ideal balance between beige and caramel, perfectly complements olive skin tones. We would recommend that you opt for Urban Decay Ultra Nourishing lipgloss in the colour Beso.

Jasmine Tookes 

Dark Skin:

With a dark complexion we suggest picking a nude shade lighter than your actual skin tone to brighten the face and sticking to a gloss formula for a more natural-looking effect. We recommend that you opt for MAC Mineralise Glass in Ray of Sunshine.

Lupita Nyongo 

Very Dark: 

For women with a darker skin, it can be challenging to find the perfect nude lipstick. But we suggest you opt for shades such as a sheer taupe which . We recommend you try MAC Matte Lipstick in the shade Honeylove.
