Best Nude Lipsticks For Brown Skin

Let’s talk about nude lipsticks. Because honestly, brands have been playing us for years. Somewhere along the way, nude became code for pink. And even though that might work for lighter skin tones, for brown skin it’s usually not nude at all. It’s just…pink. If you have brown skin then you’ll know that nothing kills a look faster than swiping on a apparent nude and realizing you’ve basically got a pink lip situation happening.

So here’s the truth - finding a proper nude when you have brown skin isn’t as easy as walking up to a counter and asking to see the best nude lipstick collection. You’ll end up with something that either looks straight up pink, or a flat brown that blends right into your skin. Neither of these work.
