A quick scroll through #nudelip on Instagram proves that “nude” isn’t just a single color - "nude" is an entire rainbow of neutral tones. And the really cool thing about it? It changes its meaning depending on who the subject is. On one woman, it means creamy-beige. On another, it means caramel brown. Basically, it's is the chameleon of colors.
Its changing-definition can actually make it harder to find the best nude lipsticks - the probability is high that the buzzed-about lip colors at any given moment will be all wrong for your skin tone.
But thanks to a recent push for inclusivity in the beauty world, makeup brands are taking note and making sure that their lipstick color ranges include lipsticks for every skin tone, not just one or two. Here are some of the best lips - no matter what shade you’re looking for - on the market right now.
