We might love our bright, poppy lipsticks, but there are always days when we just can’t do without a more subtle shade (while still looking pretty as a picture, of course!). That’s where nude lipsticks come in. Contrary to what many believe, nude lipsticks don’t mean a skin-coloured shade – that would just look as scary as wearing concealer on your lips (please don’t!). Nude lipsticks are simply natural tones or creamy neutrals that are perfect to pair with dramatic smokey eyes. We help you get onto the nude spectrum with our favorite nude lipstick brands for every budget.
