How to Choose the Best Nude Lip Color

Q: Which nude lip shade is right for me?

Whether you prefer a long-wearing natural tone or a sheer wash of color to enhance the lips, Gucci believes there's an ultra-wearable nude for everyone. In today's Ask Gucci, she reviews our full arsenal of shade and texture options, from the Lip Suede collection to Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm.

"The differences between them have to do with the formula and finish," Gucci explains. "There are pigmented matte textures in Les Bordeaux and Les Rouges, customizable sheer colors in Les Nudes, and then our tinted lip treatments (Squeaky Clean) that create a beautiful sheen." Watch the full video to walk through each shade, from a true cool nude to a warm "your lips but better" classic hue—and how she wears them!
