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!

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 🙂
