Hello and happy March everyone! I am so, so happy to be sharing my thoughts on my favorite nude lipsticks today - because all I’ve been wearing for the past month are nudes! As ridiculous as this may sound, before this month, I didn't really have a nude lipstick that I considered my "everyday" lipstick let alone a collection of easy-to-wear nude shades. I love trying out new lipsticks so much that I never really settle on one shade before I find another one that I like better Recently, however, I've found that while I can cycle through bright lipsticks on the weekends, they're not always practical when it comes to the workweek! Plus, if I’m being honest with myself, wearing a nude lipstick simplifies things so much more - way less worrying about lipstick on my teeth or eating with lipstick on! So without further ado, my favorite nude lip products!
Marley, our foster kitten, really wanted to be involved in the photoshoot! :)
Lord and Berry Lipliner in 3035 Nude: I’ve mentioned this product in a previous post before, but it still holds true - this lipliner by Lord & Berry is one of my all-time favorite lipliners! It’s a wonderful warm brown lipliner that adds a little bit of warm color to the lips but still looks incredibly natural. My only gripe is that I wish it would last longer! Since I use it all over the lips (instead of actually lining the lips) and it’s a product that requires sharpening, a lot of times the product gets used up way too quickly.
Milani Color Statement Lipliner in Spice: Since the Lord & Berry lipliner I just mentioned above runs at around $18 per liner, I’ve been on the hunt for a more affordable dupe! The closest liner I have found is the Milani Color Statement Lipliner in Spice. It typically runs between $3-$4 which is a much more affordable price point for a comparable product! Although this shade is not an exact dupe for the 3035 Lord & Berry liner (I think it’s a tad more cool toned), for the way lower price, I’m happy 😃
Elf Matte Lipstick in Praline: This lipstick from Elf has been my favorite on-the-go lipstick! It’s extremely affordable ($3 whoo!) and is a pretty close match for my natural lip color so it’s been so nice to have this lipstick handy for long days when I need a refresh or just floating around in my bag in case I have a lipstick emergency! Plus, since it’s so affordable, I have quite a few on hand just in case I lose one!
TheBalm Meet Matte Hughes in Committed: I actually received this in an ipsy bag way long ago (Ipsy: October 2015) but didn’t fully appreciate until now (almost a year and a half later!). I love this shade because it’s a little on the pink side of things, but not so pink that it doesn’t still count as a nude shade. It’s extremely wearable but gives off those just-came-inside-after-a-frolick-in-the-snow kind of pinky vibes 😃
Colour Pop Ultra Satin Lip in Magic Wand ♥
Last but certainly not least, this color pop ultra satin lip shade has lived in every single purse I own for the past month! During the holidays, I purchased the Colour Pop On a Whim mini ultra satin lip set (Review: Here) and fell in love with the Magic Wand shade! While I'd originally gone on a Colour Pop binge with the intention of trying out the ultra matte formula, I actually ended up loving the formula of the satin lipsticks much more than the mattes. I loved this particular shade so much that I now have not one, not two, but three of this lipstick because obviously, I need one for each of my purses, too 😛
What I love about this shade is that it’s very muted and evens out the lips nicely - which makes the whole look feel more put together and allows the focus of the look to be on the eyes. Nothing too crazy or fancy - just a more put together, neutral look! I want to say that this shade is a "my lips but better" kind of shade but if I’m being honest with myself, my lips look nothing like this shade (my lips are naturally a more purple-y tone). The reason this shade falls into that category is because it looks like a shade that could naturally go with my face but actually goes with my face a lot better than my actual lips do. Whew, that was a mouthful!
The thing I love about all of these lip products is that while they are all nudes, there is still a lot of variety in the color and tone of each product! They are all extremely wearable and have made my everyday make-up routine much simpler! While these nude lip products have been amazing for me, however, a tip I have for buying nude lip products is that if you’re looking for a good nude shade, look for suggestions from bloggers who have skin tones similar to yours. I cannot stress this enough! I have made this mistake time and time again by buying a nude lip product that looks beautiful on someone else only to find that it looks absolutely atrocious on my skin tone! 😛
Have you tried any of these nude lip products? Which ones are your favorites? Are there any other nude lipsticks you think I should try? Leave me a comment, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
