Nude Lip: Must Have


So just like a girl's shoe closet, you also always need a nude lipstick!

When doing a dramatic eye i highly highly am not a fan of a bright lip.  It just adds too much and looks clown-ish.  Kind of like a camera loosing a focus point if too many people are in the shot.
If you want to wear a bright pink/red lip for example, do a very suttle defined eye with maybe a little winged liner.

When you like to do dramatic eyes more often like me, then thats when you want a nude lip handy!  You want your eyes to stand out so a little nude lip tones it down and keeps it natural looking.  Well as natural as you can get with all that makeup HA

My Favourite's
Mac Myth - (Left) This is a Satin finish so in my opinion you need a little gloss or something over it otherwise its like matte feeling.  Don't know about you but if I have dry lips it makes my face feel dry.  I like to mix a MAC Lustre or Creamsheen lipstick over this as the Satin finish is just too dry for my liking.  Myth is kind of like a great base for the Lustre's and creamsheens it makes the colours more visable.

Mac Japanese Maple -(Centre) This is Creamsheen finish.  It's a very silky feel but thicker than the lustre's so you could wear this on it's own however I love to mix with myth.

Mac Creme D'Nude - (Right)This is a Cremesheen finish also.  Again very silky, i love this one if you are in a rush and my go to one as you don't need to mix this its very pigmented.  To tell the truth I actually have 1 in my vanity and 1 in my bag as a emergency that way if i ever forget to put one in my bag, that is always there.

These shades are my favourite that doesn't mean they will be yours, I have small lips so I do not suit dark shades in the first place.  I also have a very pale skin tone so those of you with a darker complexion could go more darker toned nudes such as the following:
Rimmel - Nude Delight
Mac - Blankety (Amplified finish)


Any questions, just ask.

Peace!
