Let’s face it: we all love that effortless “I woke up like this” glow. But achieving the no-makeup makeup look can be trickier than it seems. Fear not, my makeup minimalists! The secret weapon in your arsenal? The perfect nude lipstick.
Rocking a no-makeup look requires artistic skills. You need to strike a balance between makeup and a natural look. Nude lipstick is like a chameleon; it will blend with your natural beauty and draw subtle attention without screaming, “Look at me.” These days, there are tons of nude lipsticks available in the market and finding the right shade for your skin tone can be tricky. But don’t worry, as we have got your back. This guide lists all the top brands which offer the perfect nude lipstick to match your skin tone.
Finding your perfect shade
Before you shop for nude colour shades, you need to understand which shade will suit your skin better. Cracking your skin’s undertone is the key to finding the right nude shade for you. The trick is to hold a piece of gold or silver jewellery near your skin around natural light. If silver flatters you more, you have a cool undertone, and if gold makes your skin shine, you have a warm undertone. If both the jewellery pieces look good, you have a neutral skin tone.
