How to: Nude Lips | Superdrug

Nude lipstick is that secret weapon for when you want to rock the natural look or are keen on drawing all of the attention to your eyes. Follow or step by step guide on how to get the look and find out what nude shade works best with your skin tone.

What Nude Lipstick Shade Is Right For Me?

Just like with concealers and foundation, finding that perfect nude lipstick shade depends on your skin tone and whether you have a warm, cold or neutral undertone. If you are not sure what your undertone is, find out more in the ultimate guide to foundation. If you are:

Light

If your skin is very light and you are naturally prone to redness, go for a nude that is more pink than beige. A darker nude shade will add definition to your look.

Medium

If you have fair to medium skin, glossy nudes with a pink undertone will make your complexion look energized and vibrant.

Tan

Go for darker beiges if your undertone is warm. If your undertone is cold, pinkish nudes will do wonders for your complexion.

Dark

If you are keen on a statement nude lip, go for a shade darker than your natural skin tone. For a day look, opt for a lighter shade with hints of pink.

Deep

Go for a lighter hue if you have a warm undertone. If your undertone is cold – rosy nudes will look fantastic on you.
