Women with medium olive

complexions should steer clear

of any nude that has yellow

undertones, which may make skin

look sallow. Instead, pick a peachy

beige shade that will enhance your

skin tone.

Nude for Medium to Dark Skin

For medium-dark to dark skin

tones, there are quite a few

shades – from a creamy nude to

a deep brown, that will suit your

complexion. If you naturally have

a lighter lower lip than the top lip,

Miss Saigon is perfect for creating

even colour while balancing out

the undertones in your complexion.

To get the right neutral tone for

dark skin tone without it looking

like concealer on your lips, our

colour maestros at Burlington

Arcade have created N2N (Nude 2

Nude) a dazzling bronze-brown,

available exclusively in-store.

If for a contemporary twist, you

prefer a lighter nude than your

skin tone, always opt for a golden

chocolate shade with caramel hues.

Spin City will reflect the natural

tone of your lips and give it that

pink glisten perfectly suited for

you.

In any case, you can never go

wrong with our Colour ID Lab

because it’s 100% personalised.

#FINDYOURCODE AND YOUR PERFECT NUDE

There are seasonal beauty trends,

and then there are those trends so

hard-hitting, so loved by women

the world over, that they stand the

test of time. We’re talking about

the nude lip. Unlike exuberant

red or feminine pink, which have

their place, the nude lip is cool,

nonchalant and sophisticated.

But it’s not without its dilemmas,

with an infinite amount of beautiful

skin tones, how do you know what

the best nude lip colour for you is?

Alas, we’ve done the legwork...

Finding your true nude is mainly

about finding the shade closest to

your natural lip colour, but it’ll be

easier for you to know whether

to go browner or pinker based on

your complexion and undertone.

Here’s your nude-lip cheat sheet.

Nude for Cool Skin Tones

If you have pale cool-undertone

skin and you’d like to decrease the

pink in your complexion, go with a

cool brown with a hint of rose that

will flatter your features. Our La

Piscine Colour Brilliance Lipstick

can help with that.

If you want to further tone down

the pink of your lips, The Met from

the Colour Brilliance range, a sheer

peachy-rose beige, will look fresh

without washing you out. Avoid

using an orange-based nude, as it

can make light complexions look

paler.

Nude for Warm Skin Tones

If you have a warmer or a neutral

skin tone, a rosewood shade

always looks most beautiful. Not

only will it enhance your natural

complexion, but it’ll illuminate

the tones in your cheeks and eyes.

You can’t go wrong with the Miss

Saigon 5 Secs Express Hydrating

Lip Colour. If you have olive skin

with golden undertones in your

complexion, go for Wanderlust

from Colour Brilliance.

Nude for Medium to Olive Skin

For some medium skin tones,

sometimes the perimeter of the lips

is darker than the actual lip. In this

case, find a colour that matches

the outline, such as Lima from the

Matte Velour collection. It provides

perfect balance with mauve tones

that will boost your complexion.
