Nude lipstick is like a little black dress– it’s a timeless look that’s here to stay.
The beauty gods have always told us that the right nude lipstick should be similar to your skin tone, but if you’re like many women, that can make you look washed out. You don’t want that!Contrary to popular belief, nude lipsticks don’t have to be so”nude” after all. In fact, this season it’s all about neutral nudes, meaning thinking beyond the natural tone of your lips. Think dusty rose tones,
That’s why I’m going to ask you to put everything you’ve ever heard about nude lips to the side and listen up!
Contrary to popular belief, nude lipsticks don’t have to be so”nude” after all. In fact, this season it’s all about neutral nudes, meaning thinking beyond the natural tone of your lips. Think dusty rose tones, greyige, and even dark brown tones. Sure, you can wear a color that’s a shade darker than you lips, but why not experiment with a wider array of colors? While you’re at it, you may want to consider trying new formulas and texture. Matte lips are cool, but we’re seeing a lot of fun options for textures right now, and my favorite is definitely the metallic trend.
The great thing about having so many choices is that you have options; however, so many options can be overwhelming for some people. Does that sound like you? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with my roundup of my favorite nude lipsticks! The best part? All of my nude lipstick picks are under $20, so they are not only beautiful, but budget-friendly too!
