Nude Lip Colors for Black Women

Looking for that perfect nude lipstick or gloss color to give your full lips even more pouty-ness.  Well here’s some helpful info.

Here are Anita Sharma’s Picks: For Espresso, Chestnut skin tones:
Pricey: Bobbi Brown-Cocoa, Rich Cocoa, Putty or Chocolate
Inexpensive: Clinique Different-Tenderheart or MAC-Plastique or Jubilee

Sam Fine says that with nude lips “the eyes must be strong. I achieve this look by applying black liner, brown shimmering shadows and at least two coats of mascara on both top and bottom lashes!”

AfroBella.com: The perfect nude should match your skin tone almost perfectly, covering over any slight discoloration your lips may have. A touch of shimmer or gloss amps up the look, but subtle beauty is the watchword. How can you tell that you’ve found your perfect nude? If you try it on the back of your hand, it should almost completely disappear, leaving only slight, pretty shine to let you know where it is.  The perfect “nude” lippie for a brown skinned bella might be a warm rose pink, it might be bronze, it might even be a plum or berry, or a deep, fabulous brown.

Shefall at Suite 101: Take a tip from professional make-up artists and use concealeron the lips, or mix this in with a lip color for a true nude shade. Look for dry concealer pencils to outline the whole lip line blending it back in to the face. This is a very sculptural look which emphasizes the contours of a full pout rather than just painting on color.
