Nude lipstick is an interesting conundrum in the world of beauty. Sure it’s a makeup-kit staple, but what exactly constitute nude? Some women believe it’s meant to be a shade similar to our skin tone, while others define it simply as a neutral. The reality, according to global colour ambassador, is that there’s no one definition of nude, despite what many articles would have you believe. When you think of nude lipstick, you tend to think of Kim Kardashian about two years ago, she’d wear an opaque, nude lip. I think  we’ve evolved from that, actually. We’re going cooler and trendier. However, there is no true nude for every skin tone. There could be 20 or 30 shades that fit into the category of nude lipstick for you, because nude means something different for every person.

Moreover, women should have a wardrobe of nudes. One might be pinkish while the other might be brown. So, it’s time to start rethinking the nude lipstick thing and start shopping. But,where to even start? Put a swipe of the shade you’re considering on the back of your hand, go to a natural light source, and pick the one that has the least amount of gray in it, you have got to take the colour of your lips into consideration, as that will affect the way your shade reads.

Furthermore, there is one big misconception we’ve got to clear up right now, though: you are not looking for a flesh-toned shade that matches your actual skin tone. What you want is something that’s synched up with your natural lip colour and complements your skin tone – hence the not making your skin look gray.

Light Tone Nude Lipstick

Hughes says ladies with lighter skin tones should favour pink or peachy shades.  If there’s a model in front of me and she’s pale, I’ll nude-ify her with a peachy-toned look,if it is a too beige it will go a little too far the other way – especially if it’s opaque. It’ll make you look a little zombie-like.
