The sky's the limit when it comes to tones and finishes. If you like a super glossy lip, then choose a gloss or a matte color with built-in gloss, like Cover Girl's Outlast, which has color on one end and gloss to add once the color dries on the other. Matte lipsticks and stains do last the longest if a long-wearing lipstick is important to you, and they're hot right now. If you like a traditional lipstick, then you can go with a color that's frosty or one that is more creamy. Great selections for most skin tones include Smashbox's Be Legendary Lipstick in Nude Mood, which is a great peachy-pink nude. Or try starting with NYX Cosmetics' retractable lip liner in Natural, topped off with NYX's Velvet Matte lipstick in Beach Casual, which has a satiny finish. Going nude can be hot, so give it a try
