One of the beauty looks that transcend the seasons is the nude lip, having its extended moment in the spotlight, showing up on celebrities, runways, and in magazine editorials. Not since the early nineties when Mac�s Spice Lip Liner and lipstick ruled across the board has the neutral lip been so ubiquitous. Not to be confused with a bare lip, the nude lip actually has color and depth and leaves the lips looking done rather than ignored. So, no, you can�t just whack on some lip balm and call it a day if you want to channel this flattering beauty look.
The difference between spring�s nude lip is that it isn�t overly matte like previous seasons. Look for formulas that are creamy for depth, or have a touch of shine, to avoid that nude-mauve cadaver lip that flatters on one, especially when it is combined with a very matte complexion, excessive contour, and obvious lip liner. Speaking of lip liner, choose a neutral shade that compliments a variety of skin tones and lip colors, or match your lipstick color. Use a lip brush to blend, blend, blend. Repeat after me: no visible lip liner.
There are nude lip shades to match every complexion so do your research. For a neutral makeup palette match it with a nude eye color, and pay attention to groomed brows and lashes, as these will stand out more without much variation in color, to complete the look. A nude manicure finishes the look and doesn�t make the nails compete with the face.
For a rosier neutral palette, try nudes with undertones of pink, which looks great on lighter skin tones and gives the complexion a fresh look. Copper and peach tones do the same for darker complexions. Avoid nude colors with shades of mauve as this is not an undertone of skin, and the point of a nude makeup palette is to enhance and define your actual skin and features.
Whether you want to achieve a barely-there nude lip, or an overall neutral palette with depth, there are more shades and formulas than ever before and one size does not fit all. Try several different shades and textures for a variety of beauty looks, and you will be right on trend. The new nude lip is here to stay � at least until the beauty pendulum swings sharply in the other direction.
