According to the fashion pros, a fashion forward nude lip can be achieved by paying attention to the texture of the product and your own undertones. Your lips should look fresh, never pasty or pale.
One thing we can all agree on these days is, there's nothing trendier than a glossy lip. Something about a high-shine finish that not only turns heads, it also sets off your face, your outfit and for some, even your confidence.
Best Lip Gloss for Darker Skin
So we've created a list of best lip gloss for darker skin that work for women through the winter, fall and spring:
Grown Alchemist Lip Balm in Vanilla & Watermelon
This lip balm looks too-cool-for-school, but it's what's inside that has us hooked. The all-natural, petroleum-free formula contains castor-seed oil and beeswax to soften and moisturize and is thick enough to protect your lips from the harshest of elements (extreme cold, strong winds, your boyfriend's three-day stubble). And the subtle watermelon-and-vanilla scent—made with real watermelon-seed-oil and vanillin—is truly good enough to eat.

NYX Butter Gloss
When I tell you, this is like the perfect nude for every day, it's perfect! Buttery soft and silky smooth, Nyx's decadent Butter Gloss is now available in 12 more sumptuous shades! Each glossy color delivers sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky, leaving your lips soft, supple and kissable. The delectable shades include Peaches And Cream, Peach Cobbler, Cherry Cheesecake, Maple Blondie, Fortune Cookie, Madeleine, Praline, Sugar Cookie & Raspberry Tart.
EOS Lip Balm Smooth Sphere
In addition to being the cutest lip balms ever, EOS's adorable spheres are exceptionally good at maintaining soft, healthy-looking lips (which is probably why they previously won a Best of Beauty Award). Instead of petrolatum or parabens, they soothe and hydrate with jojoba oil, shea butter, and vitamin E, leaving a light, silky barrier on your lips. And the delicious scents like vanilla mint and summer fruit? They're naturally derived as well, which means you can apply, and reapply, with abandon.
