SIX STEPS TO ROCKING THE NUDE COLOUR

The nude beauty color is the new technique used in the world of fashion and beauty whereby heavy, bold or daring colors are toned down for a natural look. The importance of going nude is to bring out a fresh and natural appearance from every woman and its very obvious that female celebrities like Rita Dominic, Nadia Buari, Dencia, Becca, Nhlanhla Neiza and Yvonne Nelson are now championing this exact course from their red carpet to their sidewalk appearances. 
No need to push the nude fashion look just yet, simply adapt it to the emerging trend and instead of thinking worthless, go with natural beauty for the last quarter of the year. Africa is vibrant and so is her fashion but here is some tips on how to rock that beautiful nude look right here in Africa!
1. Match a colorful Ankara (local fabric) or very colorful dress with a nude pair of shoes. We would suggest heels because a pretty, well tailored and colorful Ankara dress would only come out classy and sexy on a great body when standing on some great nude heels. Check out some amazing Louboutin nude heels which, E! Star, Kim Kardashian and Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson would wear too! Check out, http://www.jumia.com.ng/Eliza-BLUSH-BLACK-54990.html

2. Rock on a nude lip to any event on a sunny day and get that fresh face still glowing for hours despite the heat. There is no need applying a bold red under the hot bright sun. You might end up shinning more than the sun itself. The nude lip helps your look become so flawless even the sweat can’t it take away. Brides are advised to go for a nude lip to stay fresh and beautiful all through the ceremony. You could apply a gloss at some point to glitter.

3. They say black attracts heat and that’s very correct. Substitute a dark look for a natural refreshed nude color dress and see the difference. It’s a difficult color to pull but as a lover of fashion and style, a nude colored dress is the best for an African event. Whether a top on jeans like Nollywood actress Rita Dominic or a full dress, nude is appropriate for your December parties!

4. For fair skin ladies, going nude on your blush is pretty important when you are in daring colors. Avoid heavy makeup when your outfit already screams out loud. You might end up looking like a Christmas tree. The dark skin sisters would prefer a red lip or deep pink to bring out their facial good looks which is not so bad pending on how heavy it’s been applied.

5. A nude nail polish enhances the beauty of a lady’s fingers. It’s neat and looks like you are not wearing anything on the nails. Ditch the traditional red cortex for a lasting nude nail polish on a little black dress and feel like the most beautiful woman on that date. Not a bad idea right?

6. What about going for nude colored pants? It’s sleek, sexy and pretty. See Nicky Minaj rocking in one below and watch her attitude. Be careful not to wear a nude top as well. Always go for a darker top on a nude pair of pants. With that, the pants could be visible and admired.
