Every so often, the Gwenster busts out a nude makeup look. “It’s sexy and flirtatious because it lets the eyes take center stage,” Surratt says. The key is to choose a nude lipstick with a pink or peach cast, because if it’s too flesh-tone-like, your lips will blend into your face and you can look like a cadaver (sexy — not).

Start by lining your lips with nude liner (again, to add contrast, but subtly) then stroke on lipstick, and top with shiny clear gloss. Surratt recommends Edward Bess Ultra Slick Lipstick in Nude Lotus or Tender Love, $32.
