Nude Lip Picks For Gold & Yellow Skin Tones

Things every girl should have: A hidden supply of chocolate, killer black heels, a pair of Spanx, and an all-purpose nude lipstick.

However, it's a universal fact that 97% of all nude lipsticks are made for those with fair or rosy skin. If you've got so much yellow or gold in your skintone (I do) that you'd never in your life be mistaken for a rosy-cheeked type (I haven't), finding the right nude is impossible. Unless you know Jerry Hutchinson, Sephora Pro Beauty Team member (I do).

His nude lip picks for the golden-skinned girls:




MAKE UP FOR EVER in Sepia 501


Laura Mercier Lip Color Shimmer in Passion Fruit



Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Peach Glaze




Pro tip: Try Jerry's DIY nude lip trick that neutralizes discoloration: Mix a little concealer with a little clear gloss. It won't look as harsh (or as dry!) as plain concealer alone.

I also have a little more tones of yellow and gold to be the rosy-cheeked type. I've tried and tried in frustration to find the nude shades right for me, but always ended up returning to the watermelons. But with this pick, i might actually have a chance! I like that the color choices he's picked out has a little bit of pink shimmers in them to add in on the summer fun.

Hey Sarah - Let me know what you think of these. I'll definitely be picking up the Make Up For Ever color. I love nudes, but pinky-toned ones just make me look like I've been dredged out of a river.
