There is not a single day when we head out without wearing lipstick, and trust us, out of all the makeup products, nude lip shades tend to be the top fit in our makeup repertoire. From pink nudes to brown-tinted ones, these timeless picks are a must-have in your beauty bag as they can take you from running errands during the day to a date night with your hubby or girlfriends.
When it comes to selecting the perfect nude shade, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, the shade should complement your natural lip color. You also want to find a formula that suits your comfort preferences, as you want to avoid wearing nude lipstick that feels heavy on the lips or is too dry. Additionally, consider whether you prefer a matte or glossy finish, as each offers a different look and feel on the lips.
Lastly, you’ll want to find a nude lipstick that provides a soft, creamy application. This helps ensure a smooth, flawless application and is more flattering on the lips than a demanding, chalky finish. The best nude lipsticks are also moisturizing to help hydrate the lips so they’re not dry or chapped at the end of the day.
The market is rife with nude lipstick options in various hues, finishes, and formulas to suit every skin tone. For instance, fair or light skin tones should opt for nudes with peach or pink undertones, while medium and olive skin tones can go for toasty beiges or subtle browns, whereas berry and mauve shades add a bit of sophistication. Lastly, deep and dark skin tones can go for a wide range of sumptuous caramels and velvety cocoa hues.
For those looking for a classic pink nude lipstick, we highly recommend the Tarte Lip Sculptor Lipstick & Gloss In VIP, a creamy pink-ish nude that works with warm and cool complexions. We love that the creamy satin finish is hydrating and doesn’t leave our lips flaky or chapped.
Additionally, if you are a fan of glosses, we recommend checking out the Shea Moisture Shea Butter Luscious Lipstick in Maple. This luscious lip product is packed with shea butter and other nourishing ingredients to ensure your lips stay hydrated and hydrated all day long!
The MAC Brave Lipstick is another nude pink lipstick we love as it’s the perfect everyday-wearable shade for girls with fair to light skin. We love how this matte liquid lipstick locks in the color and pairs beautifully with a smoky eye makeup look.
If you’re a brown-skinned girl, we’d recommend the Mented Cosmetics Semi-Matte Brown shades. These soft nude shades come in various melanin-rich hues that complement your natural color and give you a flawless, full-looking pout.
