New Delhi: Nude lips are a key element for a minimalistic and subtle but pretty and bold look. Be it the stunning pink peaches or milk chocolate tones, the best part of the nude lips trend is that it can be customised suiting to your skin tone. The problem is that getting perfect nude lips might be tiring and time-consuming, but now it is not.
If you like subtle or nude make-up looks, but are too busy to get one quickly, do not worry. Here are five simple and quick steps to get you sophisticated and lovely nude lips:
1. Exfoliate
Start with scrubbing off the dryness with an exfoliating lip scrub to create a fine base for the look. When you are applying any makeup on the lips, you would not want the crude skin to be evident. While rough lips can hide below dark shaded lipstick, it is difficult when it comes to lighter shades.
2. Hydrate
The next step after scrubbing is to get your lips to be moist. After shedding the roughness, it is the dryness that has to be dealt with. To lock in moisture, one can use a clear lip balm. However, take care that the lip balm is not too oily or glossy as that would affect the look.
3. Prep with base
After getting the lips hydrated, it is time to prepare the base for the nude lips look. Since lips can often be darker than your skin tone or can have darker outlines and lighter inline, you may prim your pout with a light layer of foundation or concealer. This helps to achieve a more even-toned base. A lightweight concealer will be effective in neutralising your natural lip shade.
4. Pick the right shade
It is important to know what matches your skin tone, to pick the right lip shade. Sometimes matte nude shades cannot give the desired finish, it is better to use a moisturising and creamy formula-based lipstick that matches the skin tone.
5. Finishing touch
To give the final touch and avoid the makeup from being flat, use a liner that’s a shade darker than your lip shade. This will help you to get a defined and bold pout.
