NUDE LIPSTICK

 Nude Lipstick A Make-Up Staple

Update your Make-Up Bag With An On-Trend Nude Lipstick

Nude lipsticks are outselling red hues for the first time in three years. Perhaps down to the influence of a-listers like Cate Blanchett, Kate Hudson and Amy Adams - who have all been sporting nude lips on the red carpet this year - and perhaps down to the trend for bare-faced beauty.

There will always be a time and a place to work a classic red lip, but for every day, we don't think you can beat a subtle nude. More and more brands are now catering to different skintones: Maybelline, L'Oréal and Illamasqua, to name just a few, have recently launched nude collections dedicated to different skintones and colourings.

The science is simple: Opt for brown tones if you are blonde, pinky hues will suit pale skin and darker beige colours will work well on olive and black complexions. There are a few true nudes to suit all and you will definitely be able to find the perfect version for you.
