The shade of nude is versatile. What’s nude to one person may not be nude to another. Understanding your undertone is the key to finding your perfect match. Warm undertones will look best in shades with a hint of yellow or orange, while cool undertones are better suited to reds and pinks.
We don’t want to see you make a mistake. After all, choosing your perfect match is a commitment that will last a lifetime. We’ve compiled a list of tips and recommendations to help you choose your perfect shade.
