With so many hues of nude colors to choose from, it can be confusing finding the perfect shade--but this tip makes it easier! |
Nude lip colors can be so flattering and perfect when you want to play up one feature in particular like when doing a smokey eye to keep your face in balance. Otherwise, your makeup could look too harsh and overdone. At the same time, you need the most complimentary shades of nude lip colors suited to your skin tone or risk looking washed out.
A good rule of thumb that won’t let you down goes like this. If you’re a blonde or redhead with porcelain-skin or even a fair-complected brunette you might want to stick with nudes that have some peach color to them.
On the other hand, if you are a brunette with some yellow or olive tones in your skin, then warm pink nude shades are ones that would suit your coloring the most.
If you have a dark complexion, try experimenting with mocha tones and you’ll love how what these choices of nude shades can do for your face.
Ever since my makeup artist friend shared this makeup tip years ago with me, I have had better luck bringing the right nude lip colors home. I hope that you will find her suggestions just as valuable as I did to solve what can be confusing when faced with all those nude lip color choices.
