Nude lipstick can be paired with anything from a smoky eye to a most casual look achieved with a swipe of liner, blush, and mascara. The main thing is to find a lipstick that flatters your complexion. This will create chic, effortless magic and instant gratification. The trick is to find the nude shade that’s slightly darker than your skin tone, yet works in a complementary fashion. When a lipstick color is too light, it can make you look sickly and pale. When lipstick is too dark, it no longer looks natural. Therefore, pay attention to your skin’s undertones in order to find the right match.
