Here it comes:Nude Shoes for every Skintone

Time was, 'nude' didn't really mean 'nude' - it meant a sort of one-shade-doesn't-fit-all beige.

But ever since last year, brands have cottoned to making "nude" mean something other than a colour that matches white skin, with Estee Lauder, Butter London and Revlon ALL creating nude nail shades that tried to cater to different skin tones. Tights brand Falke also brought out multi-tonal nude tights in their Perfect Skin Colour collection, with shades matching a range of skin tones from pale to dark.

Now Christian Louboutin has got in on the act with its enudes collection, comprising of iconic shoes styles in five shades, which aim to "re-imagine the perception of the colour as a pale blush, and introducing it as the colour of flesh".

In a spectrum that ranges from "fair blush" to "rich chestnut", the new colours cover styles including the Batignolles, the Fifi pump, Vendome and Flo peep-toe, and according to Mr Louboutin himself, promise to "give the woman an extra lift, but not to take attention away from the legs and what she is wearing"

To celebrate the launch of the shoes (which are available worldwide), Louboutin are also creating a "Louboutin Shades" App which allows users to take a photo of their foot and find a shade to match their skin tone.
