Nude lipstick is a must-have in every woman’s makeup bag, but its pick must be careful: this shade, which is more popular than ever, is the centerpiece of a natural beauty treatment, and it is, therefore, essential to choose a good tone!
Pick a nude lipstick conforming to the skin tone
With the nude, the natural is in the limelight. Like most beauty products, choosing your lipstick will vary depending on your skin tone.
As its title indicates, nude gives a faulty nude result to your lips. Don’t fall into preconceived ideas and don’t immediately go for a beige nude: you have to know how to identify your skin tone to better match your lipstick.
Before you start, here is a tip that will save you time: whatever your complexion, never choose a nude that is too light for your skin color, at the risk of dampening your complexion and completing it look pale!
For fair skin
If you have fair skin, lean towards a shade or two darker than your skin tone to avoid the tired effect. If the shade is too soft, it will emphasize fine lines and chapped lips, particularly if the finish is matte.
Instead, prefer very soft shades with slightly pink tones. Hidden and balanced, it will brighten your skin and ease your makeup.

Another technique: drop for a mirror impact with a translucent gloss that will improve the genuine color of your lips and immediately create the ideal shade. The glossy effect always has its little effect in addition to being very trendy!
For golden skin
If you have Mediterranean skin, choose a sandy or golden nude. For the darkest skin types, a light brown lipstick with golden reflections will sublimate and bring out your complexion, while giving you an irresistible gloss effect.
If your skin is lighter, a peachy shimmer lipstick will give a pink and golden hue to your lips and capture the glow of your sunburned skin.
For dull skin
Unlike fair skin, dark skin has the chance to match many different shades. You are therefore rotten for preference and the opportunity of selecting a shade lighter or dimmer than your skin color to create a fine distinction. Make according to your preferences: rather beige, peach or pink, it’s up to you.
If you don’t know where to turn, we recommend a brown nude, which you can lighten with a beige nude for a stunning shaded effect!
To enhance your makeup, even more, opt for a satin shade that will give more relief to your mouth. Indulge yourself: in any case, everything will be fine with you!
For dark skin
If your skin is dark, pick a shade dimmer than your skin tone. Simply enhance it with rich brown and berry hues and warm highlights that will bring radiance to your complexion.
Caramel-brown and taupe are ideal colors for nude lips. To sublimate your mouth and make your make-up radiant, transparent formulas (gloss) are welcome!
Nude or everyday ease
How to Match Makeup to Nude Lips
Relax and jump for joy! With nude lips, you don’t have to worry about making a beauty faux pas since this makeup allows you to simply highlight your mouth while remaining natural.
Your only mistake would be not choosing the shade that suits you, which could affect the harmony of your beautiful look.
So you can let off steam, whether you’re doing make-up art, rainbows, a glitter look, or even 100% nude, lips with a natural complexion will never betray you and will always embellish your masterpieces. Glossy, velvet, semi-matte, or matte, dare any make-up, the nude mouth will accompany you on a daily basis.
The lip pencil for a perfect mouth
The iconic product from the 80s is back… for long-lasting wear, a more defined mouth, and precise contours. For a natural result, the color of the pencil should be close to that of red.
It is the ally of nude lipstick and gloss.
The quality of your pencil will not depend on the price, you just have to be comfortable with its texture to draw the outline of your lips.
The application begins with the heart of the lips, then the outline, and finally the corners. It is now part of the list of products that we like to have in our beauty kit.
The advantage of everyday nude lipstick
If the nude lipstick has the advantage of always remaining trendy, it is above all extremely practical. You’ve most likely known the beauty of sleek, bright red lipstick, but you’ve also known the anxieties of it.
When you drink, eat, or just smile, red is everywhere, from the lower lips to the chin (do you recognize yourself?), not to mention the residue on the teeth at the slightest smile.
The nude goes everywhere, will always be harmonious with your makeup, and will cause you less harm, saving a few moments of discomfort!
How to avoid the “dull complexion” effect?
It’s time to enhance the complexion using bronzer, blush, and highlighter.
The trick: we balance the soft shades of the lips with a more colored complexion to create a good-looking effect. You can also use an illuminator to bring touches of radiance around the eyes, on the cheekbones, and on the cupid’s bow.
Which eyeshadow colors to associate with nude?
Good news: you can dare anything with nude lips. We don’t hesitate to use iridescent bronze shades or smoky grays and blacks for sophisticated make-up.
The warm matte tones give a nice smoky-eye effect, especially with glossy nude lips. Do not forget to add volume to the eyelashes and a line of a liner to perfect the whole thing.
So, all that stays is to select the shade that fits you!
