First, you need to know your skin’s undertone. To find out if you have cool, neutral or warm undertones, take a look at your veins on the underside of your wrist.
Cool Undertones: if your veins appear blue or purple, you’re likely to have a cool undertone to your skin.
Neutral Undertones: if they’re more of a green-toned colour, you’re likely to have neutral undertones.
Warm Undertones: if you’re still studying the veins on your wrist and you’re neither cool nor neutral, you’ve probably got warm undertones. Those with warm undertones have bluish-green toned veins.
Now that you’ve determined your skin’s undertone, you can find your perfect lipstick shade for your gorgeous fair skin! Whether you love pink, red, nude or coral lipstick, find the shade for you to make your skin glow!

Darlings, my Super Nudes Lipstick in Runway Royalty is one of my favourite lipstick shades in my collection! A little secret for you, darlings: my go-to lip liner and lipstick combination is my iconic Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Original and my Runway Royalty Lipstick! Whether I’m at the office, meeting press, or working backstage at Fashion Week, this lip combination looks flawless on my fair skin – it’s truly a super nude!
If you love a cool-toned makeup look, reach for AIRbrush Flawless Lip Blur in Nude Blur to complete your look. This cool-toned nude liquid lipstick is a hydrating formula that can be worn blotted out or boldly swiped on for full-coverage colour. Some nudes can look too yellow or too grey on fair skin, but Nude Blur is expertly blended to deliver the natural-looking nude lip you love with one swipe.
I created my K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Nude Kate as an homage to my magical beauty muse, Kate Moss. I’ve worked with Kate for many magical years and she has been the canvas for some of my favourite makeup looks I’ve created! In years gone by, I would mix pink lipsticks and concealers to create shades of nude lipstick that I couldn’t find anywhere on the market, and once I launched my own brand, I knew I wanted to create a nourishing, satin-finish lipstick in a nuanced nude shade that expertly blends beige, brown, peach, and rose tones. That’s how Nude Kate was born, darlings – it’ll look sensational on your fair skin!
Tilbury Tip: Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude is the perfect pairing for Nude Kate.
