Best Nude Lipstick for Your Skin Tone

Finding the best nude lipstick for your skin tone can be tricky. With all of the different shades available, how do you know which one is right for you? In this post, we’ll talk about the best nude lipsticks for women of all skin tones, and give you a few tips on how to find the perfect shade for you. Let’s get started!

Nude lipsticks are universally loved, and everyone should own a good nude lipstick that compliments their skin tone. Lucky for you, Red Apple Lipstick has a great selection of gorgeous nude lipstick shades for absolutely every skin tone, so I will be sharing some very helpful tips and suggestions to help you choose the perfect one for you.

What Is Skin Tone?

Your skin tone is the natural color of your skin. It can vary from light to dark, and it can be anywhere on the spectrum from pink to yellow to brown. Your skin tone is determined by a variety of factors, including genetics, ethnicity, and sun exposure.

Let’s start by covering the 3 broad skin tone (your surface skin color) categories. In my opinion, these are all you need to find the perfect nude lipstick for you.

• Fair & Light skin tones are the lightest in the range.
• Medium skin tones include a broad range from medium-light, to olive, to tan complexions.
• Dark skin tones are the darkest to deepest complexions.

Discover your undertone by looking at the color of your veins on the inside of your wrist. Although I think this is mostly academic when it comes to nude lipsticks.

• If your veins appear to be blue or purple, you have a cool undertone.
• If your veins appear to be green, then you have a warm undertone.
• If your veins appear to be both blue and green, or you cannot tell if they are either blue or green, you likely have a neutral undertone.

Your natural lip color

Just a brief mention of your natural lip color. There is really no way to know that a natural lip color always matches a particular skin tone. Natural lip colors are all over the map, but they play an important role if you want to find the perfect nude lipstick shades for you.

I suggest you pick a nude lipstick shade that is either lighter than your skin and lip tone or darker, but not the same.

Some nude lipsticks are tinted more brown, and some more pink, but you for sure want the color to pop in a soft way.

The Best Nude Lipstick For Fair/Light Skin Tones

Lighter skin tones look best with pink nudes, shades that have light pink undertones. Those with Fair skin tones should avoid any nude shades that have yellow undertones since these could wash the face out. Some great RAL lipstick options for Fair and Light skin tones are:

The Best Nude Lipsticks for Medium Skin Tones

Those with medium skin tones should look for nude lipsticks with pink or peach undertones, that are either slightly lighter or darker than their complexion.

If you have an olive complexion, look for peachy nude shades as these can help balance the green undertones in your skin. Golden beige nudes also look great on olive complexions but avoid nudes that are lighter than your complexion, they can end up looking like you have concealer on your lips.

Caramel and taupe shades are great options. Tan complexions should look for nude shades with peach undertones. These RAL lipsticks are some great options:

· Oh My Guava– nude pink shade with less brown and more pink undertones, works great with any undertone but very flattering for those with cool undertones.

· Spice ‘N Easy– a medium spicy orange with a brownish-red undertone, great for warm and neutral undertones.

The Best Nude Lipstick For Dark Skin Tones

Dark skin tones look amazing with milk and dark chocolate nudes. Deeper berry nudes also work great for those with dark skin tones. If you have a deeper skin tone look for darker nudes, brown and caramel shades with hints of red, it can be as dark as a shade lighter than your foundation color. These RAL options are great for darker skin tones:

These are my suggestions for the perfect nude lipsticks for each skin tone. The majority of these shades will look great on all skin tones as a general lipstick color, but the focus here is on shades that are going to make the perfect nude color. These lipsticks are the ones I think will look the best for each particular skin tone category.
