Charlotte’s award-winning Matte Revolution formula is the perfect texture for a ‘90s nude lip that looks like cashmere on the lips. Super soft, super chic, super cool, super model, super you! Thankfully, we’ve come a long way from the days of one-shade-fits-all in beauty, where a single pale-pink colour was considered sufficient for our entire spectrum of skin tones. Today’s best beauty brands have caught on fast, offering a host of inclusive natural shades for those your-lips-but-better vibes.

Remember, every nude shade does not directly indicate skin color. The idea is to enhance your lips in a natural and real way, not camouflage them. c) Asymmetrical lips - The best advice is to keep your lip pencil handy at all times. Even out the lip shape with your pencil and apply a smooth coat of your favorite nude shade.

Lastly, if you wish to give it a little spin, apply a single coat of pale or light pink/blush lip gloss to get the desired shiny effect.

The revolutionary, square-angled tip mimics the shape of a lip brush for a flawless application and precise finish.

Once you've found your spot-on shade, there's the texture to consider. Soft, sheeny finishes are perfect for 'no-makeup' days, while satin options are flattering on all ages and skin tones. A matte liquid will deliver serious staying power, while gloss gives a juicy plushness that becomes addictive to slather on wayyy more than you need to. Anyway, we digress. The muted nude tones with ideal hints of apricot, peach, and rose give fair skin just the right amount of color while keeping skin looking vibrant and glowing—without making you look washed out or dull. While you'll find many examples of makeup artist-approved formulas in the slides below, it can be helpful to keep some general guidelines in mind when perusing the vast array of taupes, toffees, and caramels on your own. People with fair or light skin can beautifully pull off pink- and rose-based hues, whereas medium and olive skin tones look incredible in beiges, browns, or even a berry or mauve-adjacent nude. As for deeper skin tones, there's a lot of room to play with shades ranging from creamy, dark caramels to rich cocoa. Bonus tip: If your nude lips look dark, apply a little amount of foundation to your lips to tone down the effect. Similarly, if the nude lips look light, apply a nude lip liner on the edges to give a flattering effect. b) Bottom-heavy lips - You can switch the previous step and apply a darker shade of nude on the bottom lip.
