Top 5 Nude lipsticks

Achieve that artful no make up, make up look with this classic lip shade

1
Bobbi Brown Art Stick Bare, £22.50

WHY WE LOVE IT

This has a lovely creamy consistency that feels comfortable on the lips.  It lasts for a good amount of time and can double up as a blusher.  A great travel product.

“This is a really great lip pencil that goes on super easily.  Gives really great definition across the whole lip.  Not too wet and slippery so it stays on.”

Mac Lipstick, Mehr, £17.50

WHY WE LOVE IT

A gorgeous colour that seems to suit a variety of skin tones.  A nice consistency that does’t feel too drying and has good staying power.

“A lovely pink nude which always makes me look more awake after  I’ve applied it.  It has a matt finish but isn’t too drying.”

Tom Ford Blush Nude, £42

WHY WE LOVE IT

As you would expect form Tom Ford, the packaging is amazing and feels truly luxurious. This lipstick is creamy, moisturising and stays on well throughout the day.  Definitely an investment beauty item, but well worth it in our opinion.

“Nothing else compares.  It’s pure nude love.”

Mac Lipstick Velvet Teddy, £17.50

WHY WE LOVE IT

Although a matte formulation, this doesn’t dry out your lips and as with all Mac lipsticks it has great pigmentation.

“It’s a constant struggle trying to find a nude that doesn’t wash me out but MAC tend to have the best selection of nude lipsticks that suit brown skin.  Velvet teddy is the perfect pinky/brown nude and even if I buy other lipsticks it’s probably the one I’ll always reach for.  It’s quite matte so if I’m wearing it during the day I like to wear the Fenty Gloss Bomb in Universal over the top.”

YSL Rouge Pur Couture shade 70 , £24

WHY WE LOVE IT

This feels velvety smooth as you apply it on the lips.  Both the product and packaging feel very luxurious.  Even though the colour is very pigmented, this feels very light on the lips.

“I am not really good with nude lipsticks, they either make me look ill, or as if I haven’t quite finished putting my make up on.  However, one day I had a make-over with YSL and they used this lipstick and I loved it!  It’s a beautiful semi sheer, creamy texture, and the sort of colour that is not quite pink and not quite coral.  More for day than evening as it is subtle.  I apply with a lip brush and top off with a lip gloss (Dior addict lip maximiser 001).”
