Nude Lips: Hack the Hype & Slay Every Day

Struggling to find the perfect nude lip? Fear not! This hilarious and informative guide spills the tea on nude lips: from flattering shades for every skin tone to application hacks that avoid disaster. Get ready to kiss bland lips goodbye and slay the nude lip game like a boss!

Let’s face it, ladies (and gents who like a dab of color), the quest for the perfect nude lip can feel like searching for the Holy Grail… except with more swatches and existential dread. We’ve all been there: staring down a sea of beige, pink, and brown tubes, each promising to be “your new MLBB” (that’s makeup-speak for “My Lips But Better,” by the way). But let’s be honest, sometimes “better” ends up looking like you forgot your lipstick and just dabbed on some leftover concealer.

Fear not, fellow lipstick warriors! This guide is here to crack you up while also unraveling the mysteries of the elusive perfect nude lip. Consider it your personal makeup spirit guide, minus the incense and chanting (although, if that’s your thing, no judgment).

Double Liner Drama with a Nude Balance: Create a dramatic eye look with a double liner technique. Use a black gel liner for a classic winged liner and a colored pencil liner (like brown, blue, or green) smudged along the lower lash line. Balance the drama with a soft, matte nude lip in a neutral shade.
