How to Figure Out Which Shade Of Nude Best Suits Your Skin Tone

With the many different shades of skin complexion, there are also so many different shades of nude. So just because it’s called nude, doesn’t mean it would fit your skin, and what’s the purpose of buying nude that doesn’t match your skin tone? There are so many different shades of nude now online, especially from the popular British brand Nubian Skin, but if you’re shopping at a regular shop, or confused between 2 shades, then the advice is to go for the lighter shade.

According to Karen Laporte, senior manager of customer experience at Journelle in her interview with glamour, “Don’t worry about matching it perfectly to your skin tone, if you can’t find an exact match, err on the slightly lighter side as opposed to going darker.” She explained further, “A lighter color will look better under sheer or white blouses and dresses.” What she’s suggesting is, if the lighter shade is only slightly paler, go for it, but if the difference in shades is significant, then opt for the darker shade.

Ade Hassan, founder of the British lingerie line Nubian Skin said, “Often you find that going slightly darker in the absence of an exact match works well for invisibility under clothes.”

It is very unlikely that you would find an identical match to your skin tone, so it’s important to figure out which nude shades best suits your complexion. A tip most make-up artists use to figure out the most flattering nude shade for an individual is to check the inner forearm.

Cathy Volka, executive vice president of global licensing for Donna Karan International advised, “The inner forearm is the truest match to your natural skin tone, consider that when deciphering the best tone for intimates.” The trick is to identify your non-sun-kissed coloring by looking at the parts of your body unaffected by sunlight, like the inner forearm as mentioned, or better yet the side of your body right underneath your armpit. It should give you a better idea of what your true nude shade should be.

Celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine illustrates another easy way to decipher your nude shade- you need a big mirror and a white bath towel. The white towel is to provide the right surface for your skin to pop. Against the white towel, your skin should have a blue, yellow, or green cast which represents the cool, warm, or neutral undertones respectively.
