Achieving the perfect nude lip has been a gamechanger for me, providing a subtle yet sophisticated look suitable for any occasion. Here’s my comprehensive guide to mastering the nude lip, from preparation to selecting the perfect products available at Sephora.
First, I prep my lips by exfoliating once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and ensure a smooth application. My top picks for a lip scrub are Fresh Sugar Lip Polish, which gently exfoliates with brown sugar crystals and moisturizes with shea butter. I also use a lip mask weekly to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate my lips. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, infused with vitamin C and antioxidants to hydrate and soften, and Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, which provides intense hydration with shea and murumuru seed butters, are my favorites. To maintain a smooth texture, I keep my lips moisturized daily with Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm, rich in avocado oil and peptides to nourish and restore.
Next, I choose the right lip liner to enhance the shape of my lips and keep my nude lipstick in place. For my medium skin tone, I find Huda Beauty Lip Contour 2.0 in Honey Beige, a long-wearing creamy formula perfect for defining lips, and Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Medium, a versatile shade that complements medium skin tones and prevents feathering, work best.
When selecting the perfect nude lipstick, I consider my skin’s undertones to find a flattering shade. My top choices include Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in Uncuffed, a rosy nude that flatters medium skin tones with a long-lasting, soft matte finish; MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy, a deep-tone beige with a matte finish that’s universally flattering.
To complete the look, I sometimes add a lip gloss for a shiny finish or a lip setting spray for long wear. Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow adds a high-shine finish with a universally flattering rosy nude shade, and Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Toffee provides a rich, opaque color with a glossy finish. For long-lasting wear, I rely on Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray to lock my lip color in place all day.
Some of the best-rated lip care products available at Sephora include Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, highly rated for its deep hydration and smooth application; Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Balm, known for its restorative properties and long-lasting moisture; and Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, popular for its overnight hydration and softening effects.
