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.
