Nude lipstick

Nude lipsick has been in this season it is lipstick that is close to the shade of a person’s  natural skin tone. Wearing nude lipstick is meant to enhance the lips without being too dramatic.

Dos for wearing nude lipstick

• exfoliate your lips regularly with a gentle scrub preferably with a wet toothbrush to remove dead skin
• choose a colour that is perfect for your skin tone don’t go for colours that are two shades lighter or darker than your natural lip tone
• use a lip balm or moisturising primer before applying lipstick Vaseline can be used as well
• add gloss after applying lipstick to create more volume

Don’ts

• don’t choose a colour that is lighter than your natural shade
• don’t use frosted lipstick (Frosted lipstick is lipstick that gives opaque coverage), opt for a matte lipstick (long-lasting nature of matte lipstick gives a drying effect) which you have to top up with some gloss.
• don’t apply foundation to your lips before or after applying a nude lipstick
• don’t use lipliner unless it is exactly the same shade as your lipstick

Vasanti

For us black ladies, the darker your skin tone the more chocolatey/coffee your colours should be, and the lighter your skin tone the more golden your colours should be. If you are extremely light, you can go for rosy colours.
