The Best Nude Lipstick For Dusky Beauties - 1

Nude lipsticks can look stunning on dusky skin tones but what you need to keep in mind is that a neutral lipstick is definitely not going to labelled nude in the tube. If it looks nude, it’s probably too light and will end up looking like a concealer on your lips.

What you need is a shimmery bronzy brown that reflects light, so it adds definition to your pout instead of merging with it. Still haven’t found your perfect ‘nude’?

Girl Metal Liquid Lipstick – Polished, a liquid lipstick that’s enriched with Vitamin E and Argan Oil.
Soft, Matte Nudes
