Nude colors have been popular shades for clothing and makeup for several years now. Nude is particularly popular because the colors appear natural and simple.
Everything you need to know about the color nude
The term “nude” as a color comes from English and can be translated as ‘naked’ or “skin color.” Accordingly, nude describes a particularly delicate makeup or a look made up of natural shades that are based on skin tone. Nude can therefore be used to describe a color palette as well as a look.
- Nude tones are delicate and light colors that resemble human skin tones. The palette includes beige, cream white, champagne, light brown, dusky pink, and very light pink and peach tones.
- In fashion, light shades are timeless and radiate delicacy and femininity, which is why they are very popular in the fashion world. Nude colors can be combined with a number of garments and accessories. For a simple and elegant look, nude can be combined with jeans or basics. Bright accessories and jewelry are ideal for adding special accents.
- Delicacy is also the focus of a nude look. The outfit appears elfin and feminine. The fabrics are rather light and almost transparent. This tone is particularly effective in delicate blouses, silk tunics, or chiffon dresses. This shade is particularly glamorous when worn as evening wear.
- Its delicate color makes the nude look perfect for the fresh spring season. However, thanks to its understated nature, it can also be combined with other pastel shades or darker autumn tones such as curry yellow or dark red.
Nude as makeup
Nude colors have become very popular in recent years. Many women choose nude as their makeup, as the shade appears very natural and can be adapted to their own skin tone.
- The aim of nude makeup is to make the face appear as natural as possible while emphasizing its natural beauty. Since everyone’s skin tone is slightly different, the personal nude palette is completely individual.
- Makeup artists rely on translucent, skin-colored nude tones. A transparent foundation, beige or light pink or light brown eyeshadow, and a lipstick color in dusky pink or beige are what make up nude makeup.
- Since the makeup is subtle and inconspicuous, the look is suitable for any occasion and any time of day. True to the motto “less is more,” nude emphasizes a natural look.
- When applying so-called nude eyes, it is important to find the right shade that harmonizes naturally with your own eye color. Brown eyes are particularly fortunate, as almost any shade suits them, especially darker or warm colors.
- For nude lips, it is crucial to ensure that the nude lipstick color does not make the complexion appear too pale. Common shades of nude lips range from peach to beige to apricot. Matte lipsticks are often suitable.
- Then there are nude nails. Here, too, the shade depends on your individual skin tone. For example, darker skin tones harmonize well with nail polish in shades such as cocoa or soft brown. Lighter skin types can use pastel colors such as dusky pink, light pink, or hot pink.
