How to choose the perfect nude lipstick for darker skin tones

I was watching one of my favourite YouTubers yesterday and as she was getting ready, she applied some nude lipstick that left me cringing. She usually gets it right but this one time I didn’t find that particular lip colour flattering. If anything, I found that it left her looking ashy. I immediately thought of those days, as kids, when we would lick our lips until they were grey!

Nude lipsticks have become popular especially if you’re going for a no make-up make-up look. Our Caucasian sisters seem to have it in the bag when it comes to nude lipsticks. Most of them just have to go for light pink shades that easily blend in with their natural lip colour.
