Everyone loves to glam up, but this season fashion mags are awash with celebrities toning down the bright and bold for a more natural look. Nude makeup is this season’s biggest trend yet. Subtle and chic are in and how! But you need to know what works with your skin tone to avoid looking washed out.
Neutrals and barely-there shades come with endless possibilities. At Nykaa, we’re all about conquering our beauty fears and pushing boundaries, so here’s a tailor-made guide for the perfect nude makeup to light up your face whatever your skin tone. Here’s an expert tip: When in doubt, go with pinky beige shades instead of brown-based nudes to add that fresh faced glow just this side of looking washed out.

Read on, to know more about the best nude makeup cosmetics and products that will help you to master the “undone but well done” look and nailing the neutral makeup trend:

Pale & Chalky Skin Tone

  1. If you have a pale, ivory complexion, avoid nudes that are too close to your own skin color.
  2. Go for warmer nudes with pink undertones. Think light peaches and pearly pinks. These hues will add a healthy, subtle flush to your complexion.

MEDIUM & OLIVE SKIN TONE

  1. Your skin most likely has some yellow or red undertones to it, so going for warmer makeup shades may give it an unattractive, ruddy look.
  2. Try cooler-toned nudes like gray-beiges or light taupes.

DARK & DUSKY SKIN TONE

  1. Dusky-skinned beauties are the most compatible with nude colors, as the shades contrast nicely with their complexion.
  2. Try nudes with golden-red or light brown undertones for a sheen-like finish that lets your skin really glow.
