My Favorite Drugstore Nude Lipsticks for Tan Skin Tones

Whenever I tried buying nude lipsticks at the drugstore, they would always look too light against my tan skin. I recently found a few beautiful nude lipsticks that are inexpensive and thought I might share! For reference, I am a MAC NC40/NC37.


Swatches from left to right: Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick Delish 255, Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick Totally Toffee 215, Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick Nearly There 205, Maybelline Colorsensational Pearls Lipstick Luminous Lilac 715

Here are the lipstick swatches on my lips:

My Thoughts:

Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick Delish 255
This is a gorgeous peachy color that works so well with tan skin tones. I purchased this from Amazon.com for $2.97 with free shipping! What a great price for such an amazing color.

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick Totally Toffee 215
Another great nude with a subtle pink undertone. I love the Maybelline Colorsensational lipsticks because their formula is so long lasting. This is one of the more creamy shades with minimal shimmer. Purchase it from Amazon.com!

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick Nearly There 205
Nearly There is the perfect everyday lip color in my opinion. It is subtle but the golden shimmer in it gives a very elegant look. Purchase it from Amazon.com!

Maybelline Colorsensational Pearls Lipstick Luminous Lilac 715
As you can see in my above photo, I use this lipstick quite often. I wear this lipstick when I have a dramatic eye or for everyday wear. It is a pink toned nude and really compliments tan skin tones. The shimmer gives the appearance of bigger lips. Purchase it from Amazon.com!

What are your favorite nude lipsticks? Please comment below, I would love to know :) xoxo
