The prettiest pale shades for natural-looking lips. If you’re not in the mood for a lip colour that screams ‘statement’ but still want to look polished, a sweep of rose pink, honey brown, or a creamy nude can be all you need for a touch of understated chic. With a more subtle colour there’s less worry of needing to applying it with surgeon-like precision or getting it smudged or smeared on the teeth.
