Fashion Week’s known for all the unique visions, refreshing color combinations, and sometimes shocking trends…and the same can easily be said about the hair and makeup. We’ll be honest though—there’s nothing like the quintessential element of your everyday all-natural look: the nude lip. It’s understated, it’s wearable, and it won’t distract from your killer outfit. Based on the spring 2012 runways, here are five perfect nude lip colors.
Ivory/Fair Skin
Christian Siriano
Try Bobbi Brown’s Lip Color in Beige. To keep it from blending too closely to your natural color, swipe a coat of lip gloss or balm over the color.
