Exactly what you need for a soft glam moment.

For far too long, when the word "nude" was mentioned, most people would only think of beige.

So whether you have fair skin, or have been blessed with a beautiful deep hue, we've found something that will work for you.

Eight of the best nude lipsticks for each and every skin tone, ahead.
