How to master the nude lip trend when you've got darker skin.

 

“Trying to find a nude lipstick, is pretty impossible for those of us with darker skin tones,” explains The Glow‘s Beauty Vlogger idol and makeup pro Meneka Ratnasothy.

“They’re either too light, too pink, too grey, or just too dark.”

Step right this way; Meneka has tried and tested the colours that will suit you.

Her best advice? Try to mimic your natural lip colours with the products you choose. Plus, you have permission to blend products as you please.

Good luck!
