Nude lipsticks have become a perennial favorite! We already talked about how to rock bright pink and coral lipsticks for spring so I felt like the next best shade was nude because it’s just as sexy and chic for this time of the year!

It seems easy enough; find a lip color labeled “nude” and you’re good to go…right? Nope! A nude lip is something that everyone can pull off but it has to be the perfect shade that complements your skin tone and gives you that sultry, bare pout (without the too pale or washed out effect) Much like a red, there are so many different shades and there is sure to be one for your skin tone.
If you’re still on the hunt for your perfect nude lipstick and need a few ideas, here are some of the best nude lipstick shades (drugstore and high-end) from pinky-browns to peachy-nudes that will light up your face…instantly!
Charlotte Tilbury Kissing Lipstick in Penelope Pink ($32) – This is a pink-nude beige, perfect for fair to light/medium skintones.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate Moss #14 ($5) – A soft pink-nude with a hint of peach…very pretty! This one is perfect for fair to medium skin tones.
L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Balm in Nourishing Nude ($5.99) – A cute, barely there nude that’s great for pale and very fair skin tones.
