How To Find The Best Nude Lipstick For Your Skin Tone?

A nude lipstick is a must-have in your make-up bag. There's no better way to give your complexion a fresh, luminous glow, and it takes center stage in the quest of a chic of a clean-girl look. But the quandary lies in its subtlety – the delicate balance between not being too light and not being too dark. A nude lipstick should blend naturally with the color of your lips and complexion. Let's move on to the practical side.

1. The make-up artist’s mantra: a shade darker than natural

Your nude should dance a shade darker than your innate lip hue. Too light and your complexion risks dullness. Too dark and the contrast with your skin will detract your nude lipstick from its primary purpose: to brighten your features while giving the impression that you're not wearing make-up.

 

2. Decoding your skin tone: an essential step

If your veins are blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. Alternatively, if your veins are green, you have a warm undertone. Even if you find it difficult to define your undertone because your veins are both blue and green, you probably have neutral undertones.

 

3. Now do your scales

Armed with the knowledge of your color family, all you need to do is choose your nude shade.

 

For light skin

Light, delicate nudes in shades of beige or pink will suit you best.
