Tonight's video is going to be my top 5 nude lipsticks and so to go alongside it and to possibly prep you for a nude lip haul, I thought I'd give you my top tips for wearing a nude lip.
BRONZE UP //
I always find it a little less woah when I have a slight tan. I usually take my bronzer right over my cheeks and nose for a sun kissed look and it helps to stop me looking washed out once I apply a nude lipstick.
SMOKE IT //
A deep smokey eye goes perfectly with a nude lip so don't be afraid to overdo it in the eyeshadow department. Apply a rich chocolate brown liner to your upper lash line and smudge it out - they'll go together perfectly!
PAT & GLOSS //
Matte nudes are hard to wear so I'd recommend going for something creamy. I always find it helps to pat the colour into your lips after applying for a more subtle look. Another way to wear nude is to apply a nude gloss on top and it lifts the whole look, especially if you use a gloss with slight gold shimmer in.
LINE & DEFINE //
If you have thinner lips or not much of a cupid's bow (like me) then you may want to start with a nude lip liner. Something like the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat allows you to draw and shape your lips with a beautiful matte skin toned liner. You can then apply your creamy lipstick or gloss on top without loosing the perfected shape of your lips.
Finding your perfect nude lip is great and will come in so handy when you wear a smokey eye. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect nude but you'll see my current top 5 in tonight's video. How do you like to wear a nude lip?
