I used to think that nude was not a good color for me. I mistakenly thought I had to be either very bronzed or very very pale but that was because the shades I’ve tried in the past have been too beige and too flat. Enter Spring 2010, where nudes glimmer and shimmer with lightness and shine.  The new nudes are universally flattering shades for all skin colors.  Wearing a pair of nude shoes will instantly elongate your legs (check out DKNY
