I just recently started getting in the whole nude lips or light baby pink lipsticks…however whenever I wear them I feel like my skin tone looks darker…is this just me or that’s how it looks to other ppl too???
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
It does make me look dull and tired at times but not always though...so not sure...if its because of the lipstick or the foundation.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
So nude lipstick is transparent? I wonder since a nudity would be different for a kaala and a gora for instance.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
well depends on yr complexion! if ur a bit tan or on the darker side, it may accentuate that. but if ur fair, it wudnt make u dark. i hope i m making sense here!!!

i m v much fair but lite lipstick duznt suits me ... i always use some medium or dark shade
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
I feel the same way, you know it’s like wearing gold, peachy or light pink nailpolish it does bring out a tan if you have it. where as dark reds, wine colors make hands appear lighter. however it’s summer girls should embrace the tan look and use some bronzer to make yourself a bit sunkissed looking this season.
even kareena looks good with a tanned look compared to her normal super fair thing
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
you jstu have to get the right one. if you're tan, baby pink will not suit you. you wanna get something warmer, it might look brown when you look at it but it will come on nude on your lips.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
I guess it's because we have so much yellow and warm undertones in our skin, even if we're very fair, you really have to pick the right tone of lipstick, if it's a cool tone or baby pink, it sure won't suit us, it's safer to go with a rosy beige or rosy pink lipstick which has more warmth and therefore doesn't clash with our skin coloring.
it also depends on your lips's natural colour, i noticed a lot of pakistani women and girls have very dark lips so it doesn't look right to wear a very pale shade so maybe take that into account.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
Yes it makes your skin appear darker...i have brown skin tone and whenever i wear light nude colour on me i really look darker...even though i always have this nude brown colour which looks really nude nude but not tooooo light..i hope you get me what im tryin to explain lol..
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
For nude lips, you need perfectly done smoky eyes otherwise it could make anyone look strange regardless of their skin complexion.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
you don't need smoky eyes to pull off a nude lip, make up has no rule, you just wear what looks good on you.

Some people do because it makes them look so washed out.
You always have to adjust a thing or two to pull off the nude lips, people who don't have an even tone skin complexion often have to put on foundation.
Make up has no rules? LOL I wish it was true.
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
you put on foundation because it will make you look better, not because it's a rule, hence why make up should be applied the way it makes one look and feel better, anyway, we're out of topic :)

no way. at the msot you just need eyeliner with it. again, all about balancing the color with your undertones and skin color.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of Eva Mendez-esque smoky eyes, not really the ones you see on some Arab drag queens. lol
Seapking of smoky eyes and nude lips, everyone must check out very recent Adriama Lima pictures at VS event. That too me is the most perfect way of rocking the nude lips.

can u post pix of AL from the event...i usually think she's overdone :D hah
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
I don't know how to post pictures. :(
Re: Nude Lipsticks make you Look Darker??
check out Troy Jensen's blog, there are a lot examples of nude lips with different gals and therefore skintones
again, you do whatever you want with a nude lip, but it depends on what you're referring to as "nude". to me, nude should stand for the natural colour of your lips, but to most people, i guess it just means "beige", which doesn't suit everyone, for example, my upper lip is quite thin so if i wear a pale lipstick i'll look dead because it will erase my lips, especially given the fact that my lips are naturally pale. so you should take different factors into account and try out what looks better on you.
personally i like revlon's lipstick in "blush"
