From satin and matte finishes, to soft peaches, blush tones, and balmy buff hues, there's a lipstick for everyone.

Peachy beiges, sultry blush shades, rich earth tones—the spectrum of so-called "nude" shades can seem impossibly vast. And yet, right alongside a classic red lipstick, the looks is also one of the most timelessly elegant, universally flattering makeup styles around. Need proof? Look no further than the soft, barely-there nude lip that Jennifer Lopez chose for her Georgia wedding to Ben Affleck.

Whether you are seeking a matte brown, natural pinks, true beiges, or even a balmy buff, there's a nude lip color for you. Here, some of our favorite shades to suit every skin tone.

A delicate pink-y taupe, this iconic "your lips but better" shade is a classic—and has been worn by the likes of the Duchess of Sussex for many years.

Want to go mod '60s with a creamy beige? This Tom Ford lipstick is your choice.

A true beigey, café nude with a mix of warm and cool tones, and all of the '90s vibes. Not only is this hue pretty much universally flattering, but the velvety matte finish (it has a slight sheen) is super moisturizing and comfortable, so you'll never feel like you shellacked your lips.

Should you fancy a sheer option to catch the light, this warm nude with deeper tones is a great—and natural—"your lips but better" option.

If lipstick isn't your thing, then just a trace of pigment may be the way to go. Enter: Bisou Balm. It gives just a hint of pigment, and the shade Calisson is giving serious Brigitte Bardot vibes.

A taupe nude that pulls peachier than pink, this is a perfect pick for those who want to try liquid lipstick, but don't jive well with heavier consistencies.

It's the refillable packaging that makes this option a no brainer, but the sheer shade that adapts to your skin's pH makes it a winner for every skintone.

Another richly pigmented and luscious formulation for deep skin tones, this semi-matte lippie is hydrating and comfortable. We love Dark Night, but the whole collection is meant to fit a broad range of complexions.

Divine Rose is a warm, pale nude, for those who want to commit to high contrast with their skin. Bonus: it's super saturated in pigment, so one slick is all you need.

For those who prefer a little shine, this beige-tinted balm leaves lips looking glossy and turns up the volume on your natural lip color.
