How To: Wear Elegant Nudes

Text by Aparrna Gupta

This season saw a surge of sunset shades, whites, blues and nudes on the ramp. Verve speaks to make-up experts on how to dress your face while you slip into haute runway colours

Elegant Nudes
A palette of pale pink, shimmering champagne, warm caramel and breezy beiges with a focus on textures and silhouettes, was spotted on the ramp

Colour Code
Nudes like whites go with almost everything. So play with colours on your face as per your mood of the moment. If elegance is what you are looking for, go for chocolate-smokey eyes and a nude mouth. However, to give your dress a glamorous lift, Fernandes feels the trick lies in pairing gold and colour. Use a deep or light gold (depending on the shade that complements your complexion the most), apply a few coats of mascara to open your eyes and paint your lips in a coral or red.

Beauty Tip
While going with a nude lip colour, select a shade that doesn’t make you look pale.
