Nude

I just discovered that there is now a brand that has stopped attaching the maddeningly vague and downright useless label of “nude” to a single shade of lipstick. There is finally a collection of “nudes” for people of different skin tone.

    Shows what I know, I would have thought that ‘nude’ meant ‘transparent’ and wondered why someone would want transparent lipstick…

    Nude is just a more polite way of saying naked or skin tone.
    People say a “collection of nude (colors)” because saying a “collection of skin (tones)” verges into Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs territory.
