Know Your Tone

Knowing your natural skin tone is the key to finding the best nude lipstick. While everyone is unique and you may have slight leanings on the scale within the category, most people fall under one of the three main groups of fair, medium, and dark. For example, within the group of medium, it can range from golden to caramel with shades of olive in between. So, take your time determining your skin tone.

Pay Attention to Lips

The skin tone is important to make sure you don’t end up looking too washed out by the color, but the natural color of your lips also matters. If your lips naturally have more than one tone, the key is to work with the more dominant tone and include lip liner in your look. For instance, trying out a gentler pink toned nude to match with the center of the lips paired with a darker liner is a good choice.

Find the Balance

The whole point of nude lips is that it should look natural and as close to your natural lips as possible, but still look like you have something on your lips. You don’t want it to look like you aren’t wearing anything at all, but at the same time, you don’t want it to be too stark. Make sure you try several shades of nudes in your skin tone to find the option that works best for you before committing to one look as your nude go-to. You should also keep in mind that a nude lip can be several variations. You can wear a darker nude lip for a more striking contrast or a lighter nude lip for a more natural look. The key is to always pay attention to both your skin tone and the pigment of your lips to find the right range of shades.
