Nude makeup that is!
Hello Friends!
Nude makeup is a massive trend this summer. I’m not usually
one to follow trends but I can’t deny that I love the look of nude lips and
clean makeup. I decided to put my reservations aside and jump on the bandwagon
for once. These are the nude products that I currently own and my thoughts on
them.
I was so excited when I saw this brand of eyeliner in a nude
color. I already own the 001 Black kohl pencil and I love how easily it applies
and that you can smudge it across your waterline for an edgy look. I also have
the Soft Kohl pencil in 071 Pure White, which I use as an inner eye highlighter
and on my waterline to brighten up my eyes. However, I just recently tried the
nude version for the first time and I have to say it doesn’t do much. It did
cover up the marks my mascara left in my tear duct area but other than that I
didn’t really notice a difference. It’s almost as if you’re not wearing
eyeliner at all which, maybe that’s what it’s supposed to do but why pay money for
a product when you can just simply not wear eyeliner in the first place? Maybe
I’m missing the point but it seems rather redundant to me. It is a nice
eyeliner and I’m sure I’ll use it simply because it sits in my makeup bag but
other than for a natural, nude look I’m not sure what more you can do with this
one.
This lipstick is very misleading. It’s gorgeous under the bright lights of your nearest drugstore, but I wish I’d read the reviews on it before buying it. I have extremely pale, nearly see-through skin and this color does nothing for me. If you apply more than one coat it turns brown/beige and looks too harsh. However, I found that if I apply a small amount then finish it off with a pink colored lip-gloss it works perfectly. The downside is that you have to be extremely careful applying this especially if you’re out somewhere. This isn’t a lipstick you can apply without a mirror unless you like that dark, back from the dead look. The upside is that this tube will probably last me a lifetime because of how sparingly I apply it.
Okay, so I’m guilty of being a fan of Baby Lips since before
I discovered this shade. I also have the peppermint one that I use constantly.
This nude color is exactly what I was looking for in a lip color. Now this is a
color you can apply on the go, without a mirror and without worrying that
you’ll look like you just dug your way out of a grave. The formula is so creamy
and moisturizing and the color is buildable so you can choose how much or
little you want to display. This tube has made its home in my purse and I have
to say I find myself picking this over my Kate Moss lipstick most days. It’s an
effortless, fun color and that’s exactly what I was looking for
This is the pink lip gloss that I’ve been applying over my
Kate Moss lip stick. This lip gloss which is actually called a liquid lip balm
over on Almay’s website is lovely. It’s light and cheery enough to use on it’s
own but also pale and sheer enough to enjoy as a glossy coating over your
favorite color. This color is on the edge of nude/baby pink and I adore it. It
helps that there are subtle sparkles in it to pick up the light on a warm
spring/summer day. Also, it smells like icing, if that doesn’t sell you I don’t
know what will.
Here are some pictures of me wearing the Rimmel London eyeliner
pencil and the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm on a night out!
See you soon friends,
