When it comes to wearing nude lipstick, there’s a fine line between working some Tilda Swinton avant garde realness and channeling something that resembles the girl from The Ring at the Bloomingdale’s makeup counter. The secret is choosing the right hue for your skin tone. Some overarching rules for nude lipsticks: avoid grey undertones (you’ll look pale and probably not alive) and, when in doubt, always gravitate toward peach tints (they tend to be universally flattering). Scroll down for skin tone-specific tips on how to wear nude lipstick.
Does your skin have warm undertones? Opt for peachy pinks, coppers, and bronzes.
Does your skin have cool undertones? Go for a rosy pink nude.
Does your skin have neutral undertones? (This means you, olive skin tones!) Neutral beige shades are your best friends.
