Nude Lip Liner for Dark Skin Tones

“For deeper complexions, I always suggest a warm brown for added depth,” says Williamson. Try the The Lip Bar Straight Up Living Lip Liner. If you’re looking to add a “barely there line,” she suggests choosing a cool medium brown like the NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil in Hot Cocoa (as seen on Williamson in the photos here).

Nude Lip Liners for Medium Skin Tones

According to Williamson, cool, mid-toned nudes can work well for medium skin tones. A deep beige with neutral undertones like the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lip Liner in Nudes for Life is a solid choice.

Nude Lip Liners for Light Skin Tones

“Lighter complexions should look for cool browns with pink undertones,” says Williamson. One such option is the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner in Totally Toffee. You can also choose a rosy-toned neutral like the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Naked.
