16 Nude Lipstick Shades for the Perfect Nude Lip

Pillow Talk is everyone’s perfect shade! When I first dreamt up my signature Pillow Talk shade, I wanted to create a pinky nude lipstick that mimicked the natural nude and pink tones that are present in lips. The beauty world became instantly obsessed with my now-iconic nude pink lipstick shade, and since then I’ve created a whole universe of Pillow Talk products including Pillow Talk Fair, Medium and Intense to give every skin tone their perfect pinky nude lipstick! Celebrities, stars, beauty editors, makeup artists and influencers around the world have raved about Pillow Talk - it’s the pinky nude lipstick I reach for constantly because it truly suits every mood, moment and makeup look!

Rose tones are timeless, darlings! Rosy lips are radiant, romantic, and give your makeup look a petal-soft, blushed appearance. Rosy nude lipsticks pair the natural beige tones of a nude lipstick with a flush of rose. They have an enchanting, soft-pink look that beautifully complements both pink and nude makeup looks. I created my Icon Baby Lipstick as a rosy nude lipstick that exudes red-carpet glamour! The warm, rosy nude lipstick shade is infused with pearlescent pigments, giving lips an ethereal rosy glow - it’s the perfect Hollywood nude lip!

Nothing says 90s glam like a brown nude lipstick, darlings… Brown-toned nudes like So 90s Lipstick can look chic on every skin tone - they give you that sultry, supermodel brown lip that looks destined for the runway - but they look especially enchanting on deeper complexions. So 90s is a love letter to the beautiful, brown nude lips that defined the decade; it’s a true chocolate brown that makes me so nostalgic for the 90s!

Warm, peachy nudes combine the minimal, natural beige and brown tones of a nude lipstick with a warm pop of peach that lifts and enlivens the look of every lip colour. Peach nude lipsticks are a perfect choice for anyone that prefers nude lipstick shades that aren’t too cool or too dark; they often appear lighter and brighter on the lips than your average beige or taupe, but also possess the nude base that makes them look natural as if lips are flushed with a pinch of soft peach. To get the peach nude lipstick look, try applying Yes Honey Lipstick - it’s a luminous light peach lipstick that gives lips a sweet peachy lip glow!

Mauve nude lipsticks are at the intersection of nude and pink. They share pink and purple tones that give them a moody, mauve appearance on the lips while peppering in brown and beige tones that grant them their status as a nude lipstick. The nuanced tones in a mauve nude lipstick must be carefully balanced so they don’t end up reading too purple or too pink. I created Supermodel Lipstick as a magical mauve with a super-nuanced blend of rosy and beige hues. It creates the perfect fashion model mauve nude lipstick look that’s born for superstardom!

Sweet, delectable caramel tones look gorgeous glazed over your lips. A caramel nude lipstick gives your pout that warm, buttery look - it’s like your lips are fresh from the oven and golden brown!

In my career as a makeup artist to the stars, I have been known to mix lipsticks, concealers and pigments to create custom nude lipstick shades that are perfect for the look I am creating. Working with my fabulous friend Kate Moss, I would blend pink lipsticks with pale concealers to concoct the perfect light nude lipstick that popped against her skin and gave her that signature cool-nude 90s lip. Fast forward to creating my brand, I formulated my Nude Kate Lipstick as an homage to all the iconic looks I have created on Kate - it’s a light nude lipstick with a careful balance of pink and beige. It’s the secret to instant supermodel lips!
