If you love your lip colour but like something soft in look but still bold, I think you will absolutely love this new launch from MAC. To arrive at this roundup, we not only asked a pro makeup artist for his top picks for all skin tones, but we also scoured internet reviews and tested some front-runners (for a good cause, obviously).What is MAC Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick? MAC Powder Kiss Velvet Blur Slim Stick Lipstick Review We then used these insights from our research and testing to assign a star rating from one to five (five being the best one being the worst) to certain products on the list. Our team also incorporated their own personal experiences testing products in their own lives. To compile this list, our team of editors and contributors spent hours researching the best products on the market in this category, evaluating their key features-like ingredients, shade range, or design-in addition to reviews from customers and other trusted sources. And if in doubt, bin anything that has changed smell, texture, or color. In the case of traditional lipsticks, 18 to 24 months is a good benchmark, but always check the packaging to manufacture details to be sure. Sadly, most makeup products do have an expiry date, nude lipsticks included. You'll also find finishes ranging from satin to matte. The products on this list range from translucent washes of color, like the Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick, to full-coverage lipsticks like MAC Matte Lipstick. Finish & PigmentationĬonsider what finish and how pigmented you want your nude lipstick to be-whether you want a full-finish look or just a sheer hint of color, a velvety or glossy finish. If you experience dry lips from time to time (and don't we all!), seek out a nude lipstick that's infused with hydrating ingredients like shea butter, oils, vitamin E, lanolin, and hyaluronic acid for smooth application and wear.

His general rule is to pick something that contrasts your skin tone to bring balance to your makeup-so if you're naturally warm, find a cooler shade (and vice versa).

What to Look for in a Nude Lipstick Skin Tone & Undertoneīrown tells us that in order to find a nude lipstick that truly looks great, it's vital to seek out a shade that works with your undertone. We’re also giving honorable mentions to Chanel Rouge Coco Flash in Boy (view at Nordstrom), as it’s super hydrating and comfortable, as well as the NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment Collection (view at Sephora) for having some of the best long-wearing nude lipsticks we’ve ever tried. Okay, so we’re 99% sure that Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk is one of the most iconic lipsticks of all time, so we’re going to peg that as our top pick Brown also agrees.
