NUDE LIPS FOR PRETTY BROWN GIRLS! -xoxo

Actresses Teyana Taylor, left, and Keke Palmer attended “Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family” Los Angeles Premiere at The Dome at Arclight theater in Hollywood this week. Both ladies ROCKED nude lips extremely well and so can you!

If you’ve been having trouble perfecting the look for yourself, don’t just look to the color beige and call it a day. The perfect “nude” lip for women of color might be a warm rose pink, it might be bronze, it might even be a plum or berry, or a deep, fabulous brown.

When shopping for nudes, try the color on the back of your hand - first. The gloss should basically disappear, leaving only slight, pretty shine to let you know where it is. Play with the colors until you get your look just right! The idea is to appear effortlessly beautiful – not cold and corpse-like.

These Laugh SHINE Repeat colors are perfect for brown girls looking to create the nude look: Raisin, Coco Puff, Bronze Ice and Go Bare. ($16, Laughshinerepeat.com)
