My lips are quite pigmented, and a lot of nude lipsticks tend to wash me out, but this sheer, buildable formula works amazingly on my lips, and the colour is a gorgeous natural brown shade. As for me, my number one nude lipstick is the Glossier Ultralip in Cachet. There is a nude for everyone, and in a bid to make that hunt a little easier, we’ve asked 14 nude-lipstick aficionados what their favourite nude lipstick is. The key is to find a colour that is effortless and essentially blends with your natural lip colour. As a rule of thumb, if you’re on the warmer end of the spectrum, opt for a warm-toned nude, and if you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum, go for a cooler-toned pink. Find a shade that works with your undertones. The trick in picking a nude that works for you is " that we choose a shade that's subtle but at the same time harmonises the skin," says Sasha Ghodstinat, Code8 global makeup artist. The quest to find my nude lipstick has come to an end, and I can confirm it’s a good place to be.Ī nude lipstick is what the little black dress is to your wardrobe-it’s a staple, a classic and always the right choice. There has been ashiness and some rather horrible mishaps that should never be made public.

Is there anything more satisfying than finding your nude lipstick? As a Black woman, this journey has not been smooth sailing.
