I have always thought that a strong red lip may help you get through anything. I’ve been trying to get into the nude lip trend lately, and it’s been doing well. As a black woman, I’ve quickly learned that nothing can prepare you for how disappointing it is to shop for makeup for dark skin. If you have a darker skin tone, which may even be a combination of several tones, it might be hard to find nude cosmetics that do what they say they will. Here’s how to finally obtain that gorgeous bare lip. All of these brands don’t test on animals, which is a plus!
CoverGirl’s Nude Attitude from the Queen Collection
You may get it here: amazon.com
Cost: $19.99
You can easily carry off this color, whether your lips are more pink than brown or you just prefer a softer, more subtle look. One thing I love about CoverGirl’s Queen Collection is that it is made just for black women. It makes it so much simpler to find nudes that match your skin tone.
Limbo by ColourPop
Buy it here: colourpop.com
Cost: $6
I would write sonnets about this little chocolatey jewel if I could. While everyone has been going wild about Kylie Jenner’s True Brown K lipstick (which is quite hot, I must confess!), ColourPop’s Limbo has been the best color since day one. This deep brown matte lipstick looks nice on all skin tones, which is the finest thing about it. PSA of the day: Limbo will make you look like you have your stuff together, even if you were out partying the night before.
L’Oreal Paris’ Spice
Get it here: amazon.com
Cost: $5.97
It’s time to admit that Spice is pretty much my everyday outfit. This was the first nude lipstick I had bought that I didn’t have to shudder at or toss away in anger. It goes on so smoothly, and the deep color makes it great for any event. And sure, taking selfies in your room is fine!
“Making yourself look better doesn’t always imply aiming for the shiny look. More women are now interested in a finish that doesn’t shine. You may also get a perfect, soft glow with the correct tools and methods.

NARS Satin Lipstick in Christina
You can buy NARS on Amazon.com
Cost: $22.90
Okay, ladies, this one costs a little extra, but it’s worth it. It has berry undertones, goes on sheer, and looks great with your natural lip color. I really love how light it appears, and I believe it’s great for the office. Do I need to say more?
CoverGirl’s Mocha Loca from the Queen Collection
Get it here: amazon.com
Cost: $9.89
Mocha Loca is the safest choice if you’re trying brown lipstick for the first time. It’s a light brown, so it won’t stick out as much as a darker color like Limbo or Spice.
NYX’s Dirty Talk from the High Voltage Line
You may buy it here: nyxcosmetics.com
Cost: $6
This lipstick is not only high quality, but it is also a good price, which practically seldom happens. The deep color goes on evenly and will help you get one step closer to a perfect face.
NYX’s Ruffle Trim from the Lip Lingerie Line
Buy it here: nyxcosmetics.com
Cost: $7
A beautiful matte lipstick is a must-have for everyone who loves cosmetics. I always line my lips with NYX’s Cocoa Slim Lip Pencil before putting on Ruffle Trim to make the gradient look more natural. The end results are SICK.
