The Right Shade of Nude

So if you want to try out the nude lipstick trend, all you need to do is find the right shade of nude. Yes, that’s right; there is a right shade of nude for each skin tone. Just like picking any other lip colour, you need to determine if the nude shade you chose will suit your skin. The aim is to give a natural look. But you do not want to look washed out and pale, so never buy a shade that is too pale for your skin.

Pick a shade that is close to your skin tone or a shade or two darker than your skin tone. You also need to determine if your lipstick will cover your lips and hide pigmentation, if any. The last thing you need is to end up with a nude shade that settles into fine lines and makes your lips look pruny.

Here’s an example of the nude lipstick trend gone wrong. Pamela Anderson has got everything wrong, from her eye makeup to her shade of lipstick, it just doesn’t work.

If you light skinned, then you need to pick a nude shade with a pink undertone so that your face does not look washed out. And if you are dusky, then you need a nude shade with a brown undertone to show off your skin tone to its best advantage. Just make sure your lips are exfoliated and prepped for the lipstick as you do not want chapped lips to ruin the look. Aim for a natural, minimal look, using your foundation and blush sparingly to create a naturally flushed effect.

Let’s look at some mac nude lipstick shades that you could try:

  • Creme D Nude
  • Shanghai Spice
  • Pure Zen
  • Peach Blossom

The only area of your face you should play up is your eyes. So go ahead and try out the nude lipstick trend the next time you go out.
