Fall 2014 Means Going Nude----Well, Nude Lips, That Is

Nude lips.

Wish we really liked this more natural-looking color.

Let's face it---reality TV and selfie star Kim Kardashian has ALWAYS rocked the perfect nude lips. (In fact, Kim wrote about nude lips in her blog back in May).


But for many of us, nude lipstick equals pale and deathly-looking.

We believe that if you have BIG, voluptuous lips by birth or by the sting of a cosmetic needle, then nude lips look better on you for some reason.

Here's the beauty trend alert!!!

For fall, neutral tones are THE lip shade of choice, according to Harper's Bazaar mag-June/July issue.

So, how do we find the BEST nude lip colors for our personal skin tone?

Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath tells Harper's "Beauty Bazaar" how to do this right:

Fair skin......Try pink-based colors.
Darker complexions........Try caramel shades with a hint of bronze.
And top off nude lips with a high-shine finish.

Hmmm. We are in between......with a light olive complexion. Now where do we go?

Guess we all have to try a few shades before settling on the perfect nude lips.

Pat McGrath gave a list of nudes to choose from:

1. Estee Lauder, Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Impulsive ($30).



















2. Aerin Rose Lip Balm Lipstick in Cabana ($30).


3. Flower Beauty Kiss Stick High-Shine Lips Color in Apricot Blossom ($6.98).













4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Brazilian Tan ($7.99).

Good post because I've been looking for info about nude lipstick. I have fair skin so a pink- beige would be better. I agree that if your lips are very full, a neutral looks better on you.
