The Perfect Nude Lip Trick

April 3, 2013

The perfect nude lipgloss or lipstick… It takes a while before you find one, IF you find one! If you’re one of those girls who just can’t seem to find the right nude lip colour that matches her skin tone, here are three tips to create your own! The best part of this tutorial: it’s one for every skin tone! All you need is a concealer and a lip product! Which lip product? Keep on reading to see which one matches your preference! 

One
For these nude lips you need a concealer that matches your skin tone and a clear lipgloss. These nude lips are for girls that like very nude and glossy lips. 
What to do? Apply your clear lipgloss. Dot some concealer over it. And that’s it! That’s how you create your nude glossy lips that also match your skin tone!

Two
If very nude lips are a little too nude for you, but you still like your lips to be glossy, this is the way to go for you. Apply a sheer pink lipgloss. Dot concealer over your glossy lips and you’re done! By using a pink lipgloss, you give your nude lips a pink undertone. You can also use a peach lipgloss or any other colour you prefer.

Three
Not a big fan of glossy lips? Me neither. This is my favourite way to create nude lips! Apply a pink lipstick. I used a matte pink with blue undertones. If you have a skin with warm undertones, use a lipstick with warm undertones. Apply some concealer over the pink lipstick, rub your lips together et voilà! For this method you can also use a peach lipstick, if you prefer nude lips with peach undertones.
See how simple it is to create perfect nude lips that will definitely match your skin tone? And because you’re using either a lipgloss or a lipstick, you don’t get the frightening foundation face! These are just a few tips, but of course you can variate much: lip products in other colours or lip products with other finish (glossy, sheer, shimmer, matte). Just play with it and pout away!
