Happy Monday beauties!
I love a good nude lipstick because it goes with different looks especially flattering if you pair with smokey eyes. You see what I am saying?!
You need to know your skintone when it comes to choose the perfect nude lipstick because sometimes the wrong nudes can wash you out and believe me that would not be pretty.
I have a fair to medium (Mac NC 20) and slightly yellow undertoned skin, and now I will show you my all time favorite nude lipsticks that suit my skintone really well, and if you are someone that have the same or similar skintone then they would work for you as well. Hope this helps!
First up, it's a recent purchase. It's the Rouge Dior Lipstick in the shade 169 Grège 1947. I love this colour, it suits me really well and I think it would look good on any skintone, well perhaps a tad too light on dark skintoned girls. This was the shade that Dior used on Natalie Portman when she shot for the Dior commercial. It looked beautiful on her and that's one of the reasons why I bought it, I am not gonna lie. But it turns out to be really lovely on me so good shot I guess. Hah!
This lipstick is so lush! It's creamy, light and has a nice smell to it. It's a satin finish but quite glossy to be honest so you don't need a gloss over it. It's a peachy nude and with a slight beige to it. I mean you just can't go wrong with Dior lipsticks. They are expensive but well worth it.
I can't talk about nude lipsticks without talking about Mac nude lipsticks. I mean Mac has some really lovely lipsticks and their colour range is incredible. I guarantee you'll find the one you want from Mac let's just leave it like that. The shade I have here it's called Peach Blossom.
It's a cream sheen which means it's moisturizing, has a nice sheer wash of colour but opaque enough, it feels very comfortable on the lips, and quite glossy. It has the signature vanilla scent like all Mac lipsticks do. It's a peach pinky nude and it is seriously gorgeous.
I have featured both the Dior and the Mac ones in my Lip Product Addict Tag blogpost so make sure to check it out by clicking here.
Next up it's the Femme Nude Lip Stylo in No.5 Nude from Hourglass. This is rather different than the last 2 nudes I just mentioned. It is a matte finish and very opaque with some shimmers running through, but that being said it looks very natural on the lip.
It's so light and creamy I just can't get over how good it feels on the lip. It does not have any smell which is ok. Would be perfect for someone who is sensitive to scents. The colour is a peachy goldeny colour, very warm toned. Lovely! I mentioned this lipstick in my Top 5 Favorite Lipsticks blogpost, I'll link it here for you.
Last but certainly not least is the Avon Lipstick in Pout. Make sure to check with your Avon Rep because Avon does some really nice coloured lipsticks.
This is another peachy pink nude lipstick but more on the pinkier side (can you tell I like peachy nudes?) it's very pretty. It's quite opaque actually which I am very happy about. Smells lovely, very lightly scented and glossy. The only problem I have with this one is the texture. It's creamy yes but a little patchy in a way. It dries out my lips a little as well which I am not impressed. But it's very affordable so if you are looking for a cheap alternative to the first 3 lipsticks I mentioned above then the Avon Pout is the way to go.
That's it guys, those 4 are my preferred nude lipsticks and I hope I have helped you in a way in terms of choosing your "perfect" nude. Let me know your perfect nudes by leaving comments down below or tweet me @eflicciardello
