Nude lipsticks with pink undertones that make the skin appear warmer -- like CoverGirl LipPerfection Lip Color in Crème, $4.99, or Bobbi Brown Lip Color in Blondie Pink, $25 -- look best.
If you have darker hair and eyes, but you still have a pale skin tone like Emmy Rossum, you fall under the fair skin tone category.
Like porcelain tones, you should still look for a pinkish hue, but a softer undertone like L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour in Fairest Nude, $8.95, or Lipstick Queen Velvet Rope Lipstick in Star System, $50.
Medium or tan skin tones like Kate Beckinsale don't need to look for nudes with a pink hue -- instead, try a beige color with slight hints of peach.
Shades like Sonia Kashuk Satin Luxe Lip Color in Barely Nude, $9.99, or MAC Lipstick in Myth, $16, are flattering options.
