CURRENT FAVOURITE NUDE LIPS COMBO


From left to right - Ben Nye mocha rose lipstick & Revlon colorburst Sunbaked lipgloss







Hey there! As most of you might know, I love love love nude lips.A nude lip is hands down my daily go-to colour. As I have so many nude lip products in my collection; I try and switch it up as often as I can. I'm the type that sticks to what she likes, so as soon as I discover an amazing lipstick, I could wear it for a whole year and ignore everything else. Not good! So I try and mix it up a bit. I started using this revlon colorburst lip gloss last week and I am loving it. These 2 products give a slightly deep nude; so this combo might not be the best for those with fair skin, but it will work a treat on women of colour or if you ever get a tan. Both the lipstick and gloss are quite pigmented; I only swatched each product once in the picture above and as you see; great colour pay off. Also, this combination lasts for about 2 - 3 hours on me. I eat a lot, so most lip products don't last that long on my lips lol.

What is your favourite go to lip colour? Would love to know!

CURRENT FAVOURITE DRUGSTORE NUDE LIPSTICKS (WOC FRIENDLY)

From left to right - Milani Teddy Bare 29, L'oreal Taffeta 233, Ben Nye Mocha Rose, Rimmel kate 08, Wet n Wild bare it all E902C







I am a HUGE fan of nude lipsticks. I tend to wear a nude lip on a daily basis and don't really reach for my pink lippies as much. These 5 are my current favourites and I love how creamy and moisturising they all are; with the exception of the Wet n wild Bare it all. This particular lipstick is very matte and pigmented but not that drying to that's a plus. Also, did I mention how affordable they all are?
I have been told by a few women of colour that they find it difficult to choose a suitable nude lipstick for their skin tone; these 5 are a great pick and also, I find lining my lips with a dark brown lipliner is the perfect way to get any lipstick to work on your skin tone. Please don't opt for a light nude lipstick without a brown lip liner, I'M BEGGING YOU lol.

Both the Milani Teddy Bare and Wet n wild Bare it all are mainly sold in the states, but you can easily buy them from online outlets and ebay sellers.
