How to Find Your Perfect Nude Lipstick… Using Your Nipples

How do you find the perfect shade of lipstick? Do you swatch on your arm or try on every single one and go through a whole pack of makeup wipes? Whatever you do, now you have a better method to throw in the mix.

Take a peak a little further South than your lips and beneath your shirt to your nipples! That is the perfect color for you! Surprised? I was too. Let me explain.

On the TV show The Doctors, we all found out that nature really does know best! PopSugar explains that your nipple color is actually the same color as your top lip. Learning new things everyday, right? Now women everywhere are looking to their own bodies to find their perfect shade.

However, are be that it doesn’t work for everybody. Makeup artist Elisa Flowers told Refinery29 that if your skin is very fair or if it’s very dark, this trick may not work for you. If you use this method, the color could potentially make you look washed out. The best way to find out is to try, I guess!

Happy nip slipping and lipstick swatching!
