A quest: Finding the perfect NUDE lipstick
A friend called me up today asking "super weird question, how do I find the right nude lipstick? I always get one that is too dark or too light!" I laughed because we have all been there and it wasn't a dumb question at all. "Nude" is a broad name for an array of colors. If you think about it, theres hundreds of skin types and tones. So "nude" isn't one exact color, think of it as a color range. If you are fair with pink undertones you will wear a different nude than a girl who has medium olive skin tone. So the quest begins, finding the right nude for YOU!
So I would suggest you go try them on before you buy. The darker your skin, the darker your nude lipstick will be. And vise versa, If you are like casper, then... you know you need a very light neutral tone nude. Pick nudes that will compliment you skin tone.
