The best one for you shouldalign with theundertones of your skinand ultimately complement your skin tone.
While some online reviewers say this lipstick is a bit drying, we didnt experience that.
We highly recommend checking out this range if youre looking for a specific nude shade.
The formula issoft and powdery, it glides onto the lips easily and offers buildable, opaque coverage.
Plus, itseasy to re-apply because the formula isnt too thick or dry.
The colors look richer and more saturated in person.
We loved that itsmoothed the appearance of our lipsand gave them a juicy-looking finish.
The matte formula offers animpressive color payoffand applies smoothly to the lips.
Once applied and set, its prettybudge-proof.
It has a supersoft, airy, almost whipped texturethat offers rich pigmentation while remaining light-feeling on the lips.
This formula does transfer quite a bit, so we dont recommend wearing it while eating meals.
However, the creamy formula is easy to re-apply.
Both of them offeroutstanding pigmentation that applies evenlyand coats the lips in ultra-saturated color.
It features a matte lipstick on one end and a corresponding nude lip gloss on the other.
Both formulas arecreamy, comfortable, and easy to apply,and the matte lipstick provides strong color payoff.
Sewell says that the first step in finding your go-to nude shade is understanding yourundertones.
