We wanted to know: Is there a perfect shade of nude lipstick for every skin tone? So we asked six black women to test several nude lipsticks to find their ideal shade.

The women began by detailing their experiences finding makeup in the past, and the overall consensus was that it's hard AF.
Next, each woman tried six "nude" shades. Note: None of the shades that matched their skin were actually called a "nude."
They weren't exactly impressed by the lack of diversity in the names of the lipsticks.
But eventually, each woman found a shade they wanted to apply, and some of 'em actually looked pretty damn good.
But a few ladies had more success than others.
So what's the verdict on finding a nude lipstick if you're a person of color?
Of course, this would all be a little less complicated if the makeup industry just started carrying nudes in all skintones.
