It's deep.
But don't give up, my dear sisters. Celebrity makeup artist Tatiana Ward, aka Beat Face Honey, gave us the tea on how brown girls can get the "nude," or natural, lip look.
Yaaasss, Beat Face Honey, Yaaasss!
She created three natural lip options on three African-American women, using affordable brands that you can find at your local drugstore.

We found that colors that are actually marketed as nude are usually more fitting for white women than they are for women with brown skin tones. But, when we tried colors with brown names, like “java” and “coffee,” we had significantly better results.
On the first model, Ward paired the lip looks with a daytime face. For the second model, she showed how to wear natural lips for a night out. And for the third, Ward did "nude" lips with a pop of eye color.
