(updated with a video lesson) 

It takes courage to go nude. And, let’s face it, a lot of people don’t know how to go nude correctly. Sometimes you just want to turn away in horror! But going nude is the wave of the future.  

And here are the 5 tips to follow when going nude:

1. Picking the Shade

Look for a lipstick two shades lighter or darker than your skin color. Don’t go for the same shade as your skin color, that will definitely make you look mouthless (not a good look).

2. The Lipstick and The Complexion

If you’re lighter in complexion, consider a light to neutral pink like Urban Decay’s Peroxide or Rush; if you’re darker in complexion, consider a beige like Urban Decay’s Jailbait. (Urban Lipsticks cost $22)

3. Trying before Buying 

Go to the makeup counter and try this shades on before you buy. Test drive it in different lights. See it in natural daylight, and office and restaurant lighting. This is definitely one makeup you don’t want to buy blindly.
