Want a custom lip shade that complements your skin tone?
Don’t think pink.
Go nude.
Whether your complexion is a deep mahogany shade or light-colored alabaster, a perfectly applied nude lip and a clear swipe of gloss make your pout pop!
Things You’ll Need to Go Naked:
- Nude creamy lipstick
- Toothbrush
- Lip balm
- Concealer
- Lipstick brush
How to Apply a Nude Lip for Dark Skin:
- Choose a lipstick color that complements your skin tone. All nude lip colors are not equal. So swipe on a shade that is within 2 to 3 shades of your natural hue.
- Banish dry skin by exfoliating lips with a toothbrush dipped in water. Moisturize your precious pout with a lip balm to achieve lips that are sexy, not flaky.
- Swipe a pea-sized amount of concealer on your lips with a lip brush. If your lips are uneven or spotted, concealer creates a smooth canvas for your lip color.
- Using a lip brush, apply a creamy nude lipstick to the top and bottom lips. Apply a clear gloss to finish the look and make lips kissable.
Tips and Warnings
- Never wear matte lipstick when painting on a nude lip. Matte lip colors can make your lips look extra dry and chapped.
- Fair-skinned beauties can wear nudes with a hint of pink. While olive and dark-skinned lovelies shine in nudes that have beige undertones.
- Draw on a dramatic eye and blush colors to create a gorgeous, instead of ghostly makeup look.
- If you dare to rock a naked lip for the evening, balance a super-sexy smoky eye and falsies with a nude lip shade that is equally high fashion and high glam.
