Bright red lipstick on dark skin skin#
"Nude is going to look barely there or slightly lighter than your skin tone," says Crimson, whereas a neutral tone might be a deep color, like purple, but works well with your skin tone without being too bright or bold. He recommends going for shades of medium brown or chocolate.īefore you start shopping for nudes, Crimson also says it's important to determine whether you really want a nude or neutral lip, as the two get confused often. Crimson says it can help define the shape of the lip and warm up the edges of the lips to make the nude liner more wearable. When you have the perfect right red lipstick for your skin tone, you can wear it any time, any day just one swipe and it makes you feel like you can take on the whole wide world. But a little liner doesn't hurt if you're up for it. "You don’t necessarily need liner if you just saturate the color in the center of your lip and press to disperse and use your natural lip line," says Crimson. To prevent the washed out look, avoid going too pale or cool, since that can be a a recipe for a chalky-looking effect that no one will be excited about, says Crimson.Īlso, remember that lip liner is optional. "Hues that have a touch of yellow or red in their undertone will make for an easier time finding the right shade of nude to match your skins undertone." So, to save you from making the same mistake, here are a few tips for shopping for nude lipsticks for dark skin.įirst, you should reach for warmer shades of nude, says AJ Crimson, celebrity makeup artist and founder of AJ Crimson Beauty. You can even try a few wine red lipsticks if you want to sport dark shades of red. I've ordered way too many lipsticks that gave me a washed out–even chapped–lip look, and not the natural glam I was hoping for. That is, if you too are a neutral dusky skin tone, your best bets are bright red lipstick shades that can be orangey, blue-based or neutral red. Nude lipsticks play up your best facial features without requiring the maintenance a bold lip does (eeek, all that smudging).īut, if your skin is darker like mine, finding the perfect nude lipstick can be a pain. Bold lips are known for stealing the show, but the perfect nude lipstick can do the same.
