Satin nude lipsticks

Nude lipsticks are muted, low-chroma shades close to the natural colour of lips or skin, from pale beige and pink-beige to caramel and rose. A cool nude reads rosy or pinkish, a warm nude reads peachy, golden or caramel, and a neutral nude sits in between. How a nude reads depends mostly on its lightness compared with the skin around it. A satin finish keeps full colour and adds a soft sheen, so a satin shade reads slightly brighter than its hex value. It sits between matte and gloss: the colour stays opaque, while the light sheen softens the edges and adds a little dimension.
