Hello my lovely Fashionistas! It is Make Up Monday time!
Apologies for the title, it is a tad tacky but thought it might just get your attention.
Finding a nice nude lipstick with my complexion isn’t easy. Most often nudes are actually lighter than my lips or skin colour and that makes me look a little odd.
So here are the ones I found that have a slight tinge of either mauve or pink, to give me that better than bare lips look and still seem nude enough to pair up with dark smokey eyes.


From top to bottom:
- Melli Cosmetics Cupcake
- Maybelline Bold Mat7
- Australis Velours lips Pa-Ree
- MAC Viva Glam 11
- Rimmel Long Lasting Lipstick Kate 14
What do you think Fashionistas?
Am I missing your favourite Nude lippy? Please share yours!
Til Next time,
I love MAC viva glam. Nudes are a tough one because they change in different lights. I always end up buying one with too much pink but think I might look at a few of these. Thanks Barbe x

Very hard to photograph Jenni, even though i took those lipsticks within 15 minutes in the same position, they all look very similar. I have been told Bodyshop has some nice ones too. x
The Rimmel Kate looks really good!
nice texture too Katie! I bought a set of 6 in a duty free pack and each one is gorgeous. thanks for commenting x
I agree, I like nudes with a tinge of mauve. The Australis one looks awesome on you though 🙂
Thanks May! You want nude you don’t want it to disappear x
Awesome blog! My favourite nude is MAC’s Hug Me
