A touch of shimmer or gloss amps up the look, but subtle beauty is the watchword. How can you tell that you’ve found your perfect nude? If you try it on the back of your hand, it should almost completely disappear, leaving only slight, pretty shine to let you know where it is.  The perfect “nude” lippie for a brown skinned bella might be a warm rose pink, it might be bronze, it might even be a plum or berry, or a deep, fabulous brown.

Their skin tone and their lip colour are almost the wrong way round. Or they've gone for nude lips that match their natural skin tone but forgotten to take into account the fact that they've turned themselves mahogany with fake tan!

I've always loved the "nude" look and have searched high and low for the perfect shade. Typically I would have to settle on a colored gloss that, although had the correct tone, also had sparkles (like some sort of gold gloss, etc). I noticed recently (like maybe last spring) that mauve/lavender hues look best on me for blush with that fresh, naked feel, and as it turns out so does lip color! Mac Cosmetics has a lipglass called "Spite" which is officially my favorite of all time! Literally - mascara, Spite lipglass and maybe a bit of liner and my face is done! love.always.ADORE*** Try “Spite” Lipglass by MAC!

My all time fave is MAC Lustreglass in Beaux. It tones down the pink in my lip and gives off awesome shine. Goes with everything from a smokey eye to a no makeup day.
