“The ideal nude color is one or two shades darker than your own skin tone. In most cases, that is effectively the color of your areola,” explains NINA’s beauty editor Sophie. “Using a nude shade that is closer to your skin tone will make you look older than you are and clog your lips. The color of your areola has the same undertone as your skin tone, so that color is guaranteed to match your complexion.”
