Fashionista: Nude lip liner can be a makeup routine game-changer: Its versatile nature means it can be used to define lip shape, color-correct tone, create the illusion of fullness, fill in unevenness, enhance lip color and serve as a pigment-enhancing base for other products. But “nude” is never a one-shade-fits-all proposition.
Dusty pinks, rosy browns, warm terracottas, cool mauves and even rich chocolate browns can all qualify as neutral nudes, depending on your skin and lip tone. Rather than looking for a lip pencil with a shade name that includes the descriptor “nude,” focus on the formula’s undertones, keeping in mind whether your natural lip tone leans warm or cool, and whether pink, brown, peach or mauve most closely matches your bare lips.
Ahead, we’ve culled the top nude lip liners in a wide variety of finishes, price points, formulas and, of course, shades. Keep scrolling to find your perfect match.
