11 best nude lipsticks for brown skin: Haus Labs, Rare Beauty, Fenty & more
For those with olive or brown skin tones like mine that orange, purple or brown tones work best.
I'm not sure what it is about fall and winter that just makes me want to reach for a nude lipstick.
This wasn't always the case — a few years ago, I hated skin-toned lipsticks and swore off of them completely. Until one day, I tried on a lippie that I didn't realize was a nude and fell in love.
Turns out, I had never really figured out which shade was intended for my skin tone — but once I did, I was a huge fan.
Honestly, a nude can vary from person to person as it is closely correlated with your lip colour, skin colour and undertone — but I have learned for those with olive or brown skin tones like mine that orange, purple or brown tones will work better than a typical pink or peach.
Not sure where to start? Below, I've rounded up 11 of my favourite nude lipsticks for brown skin tones— you can thank me later!
