6 Best New Nude Lipsticks

From matte and glossy to barely there, a nude lip is one of the prettiest and most eye-catching looks of the moment. Thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the this trend, brands are coming out with new formulations and colors that are better than ever: more hydrating, longer wear and better color payoff. Below, a selection of our favorite newest nudes to wear now.

NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment

This product is so light and smooth that you can barely feel it on, even when applying, but it gives a gorgeous, long-lasting, full-pigment finish that doesn't budge or transfer. "Get it On" is a beige-tan that's perfect for those who want that classic nude lip and "American Woman" is a rosier option that looks looks amazing on olive-toned skin or those wanting a bit more pink in their nude.

PAT McGRATH LABS MatteTrance

The long-awaited Sephora launch of Pat McGrath's latest product is here and it does not disappoint. Housed in a luxuriously weighty case (and wrapped in Pat's signature glitter pouch), this lipstick feels special even before the first swipe. Of course, the application also doesn't disappoint. It's a soft, matte—almost powdery—texture and feels extremely lightweight while giving a bold color payoff. A full day wear test proved the formula to be hydrating and doesn't budge until I start eating the greasiest of foods. For those looking for a true nude, "1995" is nicely pigmented without any pink.

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

One of the best drugstore liquid launches of the year, Maybelline's SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick does exactly what the name says. It features long-lasting pigment that doesn't move and gives a beautiful matte finish. The super precise applicator makes filling—and enhancing—your lip shape a breeze. No liner required!

Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable Lipstick

This lipstick, encased in gold, is so chic that it makes me want to carry one at all times, just so I can show it off every time I reapply. But it turns out, the lipstick is also so long-lasting that reapplications are rarely needed. That doesn't stop me from sharing how much I love the product with others—thanks to the elegant and slender shape of the bullet, it's super easy to get a precise shape, and the creamy formula feels and looks great on the lips. There are a variety of nude options, but "I've Never" and "I'll Never Stop" are my two favorites.

Lipstick Queen Nothing But The Nudes Lipstick

Poppy King is known for creating lipsticks so moisturizing that it feels like you're applying a balm. She brings her conditioning formulation infused with vitamin E and hydrating natural oils to her "Nothing but the Nudes" collection, a trio of flattering nudes that delivers beautiful pigment for a range of skin colors. "The Whole Truth" is the perfect blend of peach, pink and brown for a nude that looks like your lips but better.

Too Faced Melted Latex

For those looking for a super pigmented, high-shine finish, Too Faced Melted Latex delivers a slick, honey-like texture that creates a head-turning look. It's formulated with an exclusive technology that keeps the look shiny all day without sliding around or bleeding. There are nude options for a variety of skin tones, with "Strangelove" being a particularly beautiful option for those with darker skin.
