Youtuber Nyma Tang, famously known for her ‘the darkest shade' series (where she tests the darkest foundation shade available in a brand’s range), named this $10 Priceline steal as one of her favourite nudes of all time.
“This gloss is so pretty, it’s like, the perfect brown gloss for those everyday simple makeup [looks]. Pop it on and you’re good to go.”

NARS Dolce Vita
Priyanka Chopra cited this shade as one of her favourite lipsticks in an interview with The New York Times. The shade is borderline plum, with a rosey-brown pigment that looks stunning on both warm and cool tones, standing out in contrast when it comes to the latter.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk
There’s a reason this cult-favourite is always a sell-out. It’s pink-to-purple undertone compliments a variety of skin tones, but it’s one that looks different on everyone. A definite try before you buy, but if it's right, you'll never need another.

M.A.C Velvet Teddy
Fans of a ‘90s-esque nude-brown lip will tell you nothing beats Velvet Teddy. The deep-tone beige matte has zero traces of pink, making it a slightly bolder choice for fair skin tones, and a match made in heaven for olive tones.
