With so many amazing nude (or neutral) lipsticks available today it’s easy to become completely overwhelmed. Finding the right nude lip colour is very specific to the individual so it can become challenging to find that perfect shade. Whether it be too pink or even too “nude” its all about trail and error to find the colour that is going to best compliment your skin tone.
Your Natural Lip Colour
Take on board what your natural lip colour is to help choose a nude lipstick. Choose a colour that subtly matching your natural lip colour. Depending on the type of ‘nude’ effect you want the closer the match to your natural colour will give you the best ‘no-makeup’ look. (Tip: Don’t go too light or else you will wash out your face and your lips will disappear!)
Skintone
Remember that the more pinkish tones will suit those with cooler undertones and warmer more peach tones are for those with a warmer complexion.
Go Brown
If you want to ditch all rules and make a more statement 90’s nude lip, opt for a darker shade of your desired colour. This is obviously no match to your natural lip colour but going a couple of shades darker than your complexion will give you that perfect Kylie Jenner dupe!
