Summer is just around the corner, and one of the hottest trends this season is nude lipstick. This low maintenance look transitions perfectly from the beach to a cocktail party. Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Rita Ora all know how to rock this trend on the red carpet.
A nude lip is not only great for a simple look, but can also pair wonderfully with over the top eye makeup. Nude lipstick is also a great compliment to a glitzy dress! Here's how to get the perfect nude lipstick look.

When choosing a nude lipstick color it is important to know your skin tone. If you pick a shade that is too light you can look washed out.
