NO LINER NEEDED Nudes for Medium - Dark Complexions

There are so many ways to create a nude lip but I feel like no liner nudes for darker skintones don't get much love. Whenever I see a lippie advertised as a nude, it usually looks somethin like this:

Most brands are guilty of naming beige toned lipsticks as "nude," <cues eye roll🙄> so I thought it would be helpful to share some "pure nudes" (wtv that means) for darker complexions - nudes that you can easily grab and apply without adding a lip liner. Check out the swatches below!
