As a woman with dark skin, a “nude” lipstick that may work on someone with a lighter complexion may leave me looking as though my lips are chapped and dry. Kind of like Tyrone:
Okay, maybe not as bad as Tyrone’s but close enough. That was until I realized that “nude” lipstick on women with dark skin has a whole other meaning. Nude typically involves shades of brown or, at the very least, a brown lipliner to give a more natural appearance. Check out these lovely examples for inspiration:

These colors look great on these ladies, especially 1,5, and 10. I’m really loving the first one!
This makes me so happy!
The lady with the natural hair(pic 5) looks really good. She looks fresh, easy breezy and authentic.
Second best is the lady with the faux locs, the specs really suit her and she has a gorgeous smile. Beautiful indeed 🙂
these women are soo beautiful. they really have not gotten the attention they deserve.
I’m loving it! The lipstick shades blend in perfectly! Very nice indeed!
Very beautiful!
Now THIS is news I can use. Thanks so much! 🙂
The lipsticks are great. Moving forward, can we kill the “highlight bright as headlights” trend? It’s only cute on Rudolph.
