Your Perfect Nude Lipstick Shade Is Said to Be the Colour of Your Nipples

Are you struggling to find the perfect nude shade of lipstick? The answer may be closer than you think. In fact experts say all you need to do is check the colour of your nipples, they’re said to be the best nude hue for you!

According to the professionals on The Doctors, a medical-related talk show on NBC, a sure fire way to make sure your nude lipstick suits you is to find a shade that matches the color of your areolas. “Nature knows best,” the docs say.

How interesting! We bet you’re checking as we speak, aren’t you!

“Generally, when I’m choosing a nude in a more traditional fashion, I choose a color that is either one shade darker than my natural skin tone or one shade lighter than my natural skin tone,” Molly R. Stern tells Allure. “In doing this I never feel too washed out, as the nude color on the lips doesn’t match the skin exactly. If the [lipstick] color is too close to the skin color it can have a deadening effect.”

Many women experimented with the beauty hack and found mixed results. Most were pleased with the colour swatch while many darker skinned women felt the matching trick was not as accurate.

Still, it’s a hack worth trying for sure. I mean what do you have to lose? In fact there are so many great nude lipstick shades around at the moment that you’re bound to find your perfect match- nipple or not!
