Undress Your Lips

Great summer makeup requires a less-is-more approach, and nude lips are a great way to lighten up this year. The best part about this trend is that it works really well with all skin tones, and it’s an easy everyday look. I like the effect of nude lips with a light bronzer and peach blush, which when combined result in a natural glow. I also like the idea of adding contrast by pairing muted lips with a smoky eye.

Some things I’ve learned about nudey lips:

  • If your lips are naturally dark, dab on a little (and I mean just a drop otherwise
    you’ll look like a corpse) foundation before you apply your favorite beige lip color.
  • Add a little oomph to a nude lip with some clear gloss or some glimmer glammer
    with a pearly finish lipstick or gloss.
  • For a natural look, lighter skin tones should go for cooler nudes and darker skin
    tones will want warmer nude tones. For drama, do the opposite.
