Nude lipcolor is my fave, here are some good tips on finding just the right nude.........
Best Lip Look (taken from marie claire)
A nude pout is sexy now. To get it, go peach rather than beige (which can appear corpselike). Here's what works with <!--Pos Off --><!-- V/5 generated DART tag v2.1 --><!-- sstype=other --><!--DART params(7|434727|/mags/marieclaire/beauty/skin/articles:615830)--><!-- End DART Tag -->your skin tone.
Fair to Medium Skin
To keep your lips from disappearing into your pale complexion, steer clear of anything matte or sheer. An opaque gloss -- in peach or peachy-pink -- is your best bet, says celebrity makeup artist Matin Maulawizada. For maximum impact, pair with lightly bronzed skin.
Try: Lorac Lip Polish in Beauty, $17.50
Olive Skin
You've got enough color in your complexion to get away with using a more traditional, taupe-y shade on your mouth, explains Maulawizada. But slicking on a gloss or a creamy lipstick with peachy undertones will have the added benefit of brightening your entire complexion -- and will keep the look from getting too severe. Complement low-key lips with eyeliner or smoky shadow.

Try: Laura Mercier Lip Colour in Discretion,
Dark Skin
To create a nude mouth that doesn't look too white or ashy against your dark skin, apply a peachy-brown, slightly shimmery gloss, says Maulawizada. The natural color in your lips plus the slight tint of the gloss will give your pucker the perfect finish: understated, yet still red-carpet-ready. Complete the look with slightly dewy makeup and a light, allover dusting of shimmer powder.
