Nude lipsticks for different skin tones

Hey “BD beauties”!

Nude lipstick is a known trend all around the beauty community especially during the spring summer season! But many people have the perception that ‘nude’ is a pale beige shade that makes you looking death. The correct definition of a nude lip is also another word for what we say ‘your lip shade but better’! Therefore the term nude lip will differ from to each skin tone, skin undertone etc.
