It’s easy to get the nude lips look right. However, experts suggest to reserve bold and dark shades while going for rarer high-on-couture occasions this winter season.
While sporting nude lips, you can opt for two different eyes’ make up. You can highlight the eyes with a smoky look or use bright eyeshadows for an evening out. Keep the eyes clean and line them with the 70s winged eyeliner and let the lips be nude and glossy. Makeup expert Komal Gulati says, “Let the focus stay on eyes and play them up with bright or smoky make-up and keep the lips nude and glossy.”
Who should flaunt the look?The principle rule of shades — darker shades make you look slim and light hues add up to the bulk —applies here as well. According to experts, people with thin lips should avoid using darker shades, as bolder colours can make their lips look even smaller. Similarly, bright colour such as red looks best on fuller lips.
So, if you have thin lips, then use darker shades with caution. Opt for lighter, nude or pastel colours for a fuller pout. And if you have fuller lips, you can carry off the dewy nude look easily, but opt for earthy shades.
Choose your nude shade wisely
It’s very important to understand your complexion and use the nude or pastel shades accordingly. Gulati says, “Go for colours such as peach, coral, pinks and beiges, if you have a fair skin tone. While pastel earthy shades such as beiges and softer browns go well with the dusky or darker skin tones.” For a more dewy look, you can use normal pastel lipstick or matte shades and coat it with extra gloss for a soft dewy and fresh looking face. Kohl eyes look great with nude lips and gloss.
