So what color is best for that oh-so-sexy nude look? More than a color, it's a subtle tint. Keep your coloring in mind when you choose a lipstick shade.

Here's a big advantage to nude lips: Using less color on your lips means you can play up your eyes with bold shades and even metallic hues. It gives you a fresh, clean look.
The best way to apply lipstick:
1. Start with soft, kissable lips. Condition your lips by gently exfoliating them before bedtime. Complete the process by slathering your lips with petroleum jelly and buff with a damp washcloth.
2. When applying lipstick, first place a layer of foundation over the surface of your lips.
3. Apply your favorite nude lipstick shade.
4. Want a sexy pout? Add a hint of gloss across the center of your lower lip.
5. Glam up your lips for that special evening out by using a tinted lip gloss. This gives your lips lots of shine, but a subtle, natural-looking color.
6. To make your lips look fuller, add a touch of red lipstick to the center of the bottom lip. Blend it in well and then top it off with a bit of gloss.
