There is often a misconception about what the color “nude” is. Whilst people might assume that “nude” means a tone that is slightly cream, pink, and resembles a White person’s skin tone, this isn’t actually true. Technically, there are a bunch of nude colors out there that are all intended to resemble different skin tones.
This means that there is no universal color called “nude”. Nude eyeshadow palettes usually provide a range of nude colors that are designed to suit a range of skin colors (if done correctly). The colors will range from near-white shadows to brown and black shadows. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use colors that aren’t similar to your skin tone - instead, this diversity in colors means that everyone can explore with “nude” colored makeup to create natural and elegant looks!
