The nude lipstick look is considered as one of the most timeless trends that still has a powerful effect in the beauty world. 

However, the one thing about wearing a nude lipstick is that you can either look bomb or, washed out. Just one incorrect technique, and you'll end up as the latter. 

So how do you pull off the trend without looking like a zombie? Take a cue from these 3 tips for a more effortless look.

  
1. Identify Your Undertone

Here's a quick way to find out- Hint: look at your veins. 

If your veins are: 

- Greenish: warm undertones

- Blue/purplish: cool undertones

- In between or Unsure: neutral undertones

Once you've uncovered that, it's time to choose the right nude for your lips. Experts suggest the following:

Warm undertones: peachy pinks

Cool undertones: rosy pinks

Neutral undertones: neutral beige or peachy

2. Choose the Right Texture

Avoid choosing matte lipsticks as they'll make your lips look harsh.

Instead, ones that have a creamy or shiny formula will work best because this kind of texture enhances your lips by making them more supple.
