The thing about nude lipsticks is they come in various shade ranges, including browns, peaches, and pinks, but if you're only to pick one shade to add to your arsenal, you may want to go for a milky nude. This hue is universally flattering and easy to wear, and while putting it on may look like you're not wearing anything, it still enhances your natural lip color altogether, making it great for every day.

A milky nude is technically a nude lipstick that is closest to your actual lip shade. But when it comes to selecting one, you have to consider what looks the most natural with your skin tone. "The depth of the lipstick color should correlate with the skin tone, meaning the lighter the skin, the lighter the nude, and the darker skin, the darker the nude," suggested makeup artist Quinn Murphy in Allure.

Meanwhile, celebrity makeup artist Neil Scibelli shared with Teen Vogue that those with fairer skin may want to go for nudes closest to their lip color, and those with a medium complexion can find the most success with shades in the "caramel or a deeper pink" range. For people with deeper skin tones, "deeper berry nudes," or shades that are "lighter than their actual foundation color."
