Fall 2011's nude, no makeup look is one of the hottest trends alongside the bold lip. It is important to know what nude lip color to select when wearing a nude lip color. Here are some tips for your nude pout!
The Right Nude for you!
- For fair or pale skin: With lighter skin tones, avoid beige lipsticks, which will just wash you out. Instead, look to pink, peach, or pale apricot as your base shade. Tip: apply a lip liner in a color one shade darker than your natural tone to give your nude tone a brightened effect.
- For the golden girls: If you've got lots of golden undertones in your skin, go for creamy, caramel-toned nudes and warm beiges. Avoid anything too cool, like grays or silver-toned shades.
- For olive tones: If you've got olive skin, you're a lucky gal. Just about any nude shade will look great on you from beige to bronze to pinks.
- For skin with yellow undertones: Think light, creamy-toned beiges like latte or mocha.
- For dark-toned skin: Go for chocolate tones such as rich golden browns and coffees
Prepping Your Lip!
- make sure that your lips are well conditioned before you apply any type of color to them.
- exfoliate at night before bed to remove all of the dead skin cells that are on the surface.
The Application:
- To apply your lipstick, begin with a layer of foundation over the surface of your lips
- Apply your nude lipstick shade, and add a hint of gloss across the center of the lower lip to give your mouth a sexy pout.
