Finding the right nude lippie shade is no easy task, and more often than not, if it doesn’t make us look ghostly and sick, it completely conceals our lips. Need we go on?
Thankfully, a TV show called The Doctors has dropped a really useful hack that makes finding our ideal nude lippie match a little easier – by looking at the colour of your nipple.
According to board-certified emergency medicine physician Travis Lane Stork, M.D., “nature knows best” and the hue of the areola or nipple may just be the colour that complements your individual skin tone.
While he concurs that the hack isn’t so great for those of extremely fair or super dark complexions, it’s still worth a shot. Bare in mind though that the colour of the lips and nipples often fluctuate with temperature, hormone levels and blood flow.
It’s the perfect excuse to free the nipple, if you ask us. Let us know if this nude lippie hack works for you!
