The Best Nude Lipsticks For Dusky Skin That Won't Wash You Out
Oh how much I love the 50 shades of nudes that I see! A swipe of nude lipstick is perhaps the easiest way to look date ready without making much effort. However, picking the right shade of nude is a tricky job. Finding lipstick shades for Indian skin isn't easy. If you choose a wrong one and it ends up clashing with your skin tone, the look may go a bit off track because putting on a nude colour is our way of looking alive without making our face the highlight of the moment or without looking too flashy. A lot of people end up choosing a shade too light, too beige or too opaque but the right shade of nude will make your face look fresh and youthful.
To select the right shade of nude lipstick, you first observe your skin tone along with your natural lip colour. The trick here is to tone down the pink of the natural lip colour by using warmer or cooler tones. The right nude is neither too orange or pink nor too grey. Between the general shades of toffees, caramels and taupes, it is good to follow some basic guidelines. While pink and rose-y nudes perform better on lighter skin tones, dark cocoa and rich caramels work like a charm on deeper skin tones. As for the olive or dusky skin, beiges, browns and berry-based nudes are meant for them. You'll know it when you try it. So here are a few nude lipsticks for dusky skin that won't wash you out but will look great.
