These Nude Lipsticks Look Like Your Lips — But Better
March 26, 2021
In comparison to bright, bold hues, it’s less daunting to pull off nude lipsticks, but more difficult to find the perfect shade match. In the makeup world, the term “nude” means something different to everyone. To land on the right neutral, there are several things to consider, including your undertone and natural lip color. Some trial and error is inevitable, but with so many nude shades to choose from, the collections below are a great place to start. From long-wearing liquid lippies to lightweight glossy formulas, click through to shop six collections of neutrals.
L’Oréal Paris Les Nus by Colour Riche
Housed in chic metallic packaging and formulated to provide a smooth, pigmented finish, you’d never guess these lippies cost less than $10. Choose from 12 neutral shades, from a soft, rose pink to a spicy, orange-tinged brown.
Maybelline New York Color Sensational Ultimatte Slim Lipstick
For intense color payoff and a lightweight feel, look no further than the Ultimatte range. More Buff, More Truffle and More Taupe are three of our favorite neutral shades from the collection.
NYX Professional Makeup This Is Milky Gloss
If you’re more of a gloss kind of person, check out this line of long-wearing formulas. The glosses have a unique hydrating and opaque formula and come in eight shades that’ll enhance your natural lip color.
YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick Balm
These luxe lippies feel like a hydrating balm, yet provide medium coverage. The brand recently added three new neutral shades (Nude Transparent, Beige Satin and Burnt Zellige) that work well on all skin tones.
You can find pretty much every finish and shade within this expansive collection. The bold blue, purple and neon pink shades are always tempting, but don’t sleep on neutrals like Naked, the perfect nude pink.
The Lip Bar Liquid Matte Lipstick
The Lip Bar is known for its inclusive shade ranges and comfortable matte liquid formulas. We love that the brand showcases each hue on models of varying skin tones, so you can get a feel for how it will look on yours before you click “add to cart.”
