What Is A Nude Lipstick?
Nude lipstick has various interpretations. While some think a nude shade implies one similar to our skin tone, others believe nude is just another word for neutral. Just as there is not one definition of nude, similarly, you will not find one true nude for all skin tones. Nude lipsticks range from pinkish to brownish shades.
A nude lipstick shade should resemble your natural lip color and complement your skin tone without making it look gray. Here are some tips for picking nude lipstick that is best-suited for your skin tone.
How To Choose A Nude Lipstick
- While trying a shade, look at some swatches under a natural light source. Select the shade with the least amount of gray in it.
- Pink or peachy nude shades are suitable for ladies with light skin tones.
- If you are medium-toned, almost any nude shade can work for you. Do not choose something too light as that can make you look ashy.
- For dark skin tones, a nude shade with red undertones is perfect. Go for a dark brown lip while creating a nude makeup look.
Note:
Do pick a lipstick that matches your actual skin tone. Cha Cha Woska, a certified makeup artist, says, “When using matte nude shades- prep your lips with a sugar scrub before applying the lipsticks”
Let’s now look at the 15 best nude lipsticks available in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear a nude lipstick with a bold eye makeup look?

How do I prevent nude lipsticks from feathering or bleeding outside my lip lines?
Always start with exfoliating and moisturizing the lips, after which, use a lip primer to set the base of the lip makeup. Outline the corners and edges with the liner to prevent smudging.

Are there any techniques to make nude lipsticks appear fuller or create the illusion of plump lips?
Yes. Apply bronzer on the corners of your lips for a plump look. You may also overline your lips with a dark lip liner for a fuller and covered look.
