The Understated Hero: Nude Lips Edition!

There is so much beauty in simplicity. I think this is why I love neutrals so very much. The element of not being out rightly bold yet possessing the capacity to make a statement is attractive to me. That being stated I am sure many of you noticed how much I have been loving nude lips lately. I have been wearing specific combinations recently that have not only been perfect for saving time in the morning, but oh so pretty! Here are my current nude lip essentials some I wear together and some I wear on their own.

Sleek Makeup Lip 4 in Ballet
I love the Sleek Makeup lipstick quad because it has four shades of neutrals with different textures that allows me to mix and match colours to get my desired intensity. This palette also comes with a lip brush in it for on the go touch ups.

The Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream is gorgeous! It is the perfect nude for me, you can definitely wear this topped with a gloss however I opt to wear it on its own and let its lovely velvet finish be the star. It's wear time is very good, and it doesn't dry out my lips to the extent that some other lip creams can. 

The next set of products I always always always use as a trio! On their own they're just alright but together........uhhmaazzzinngggg!! I start by lining my lips with lip liner from Ben Nye in French Toast; perfect chocolate brown lip liner. I blend that out and top with Milani's Colour Statement Lipstick in Nude Crème, which is too light for me on its own. Then I top with NYX Butter Gloss in Tiramisu. This combo is long wearing because of the layers, moisturizing and just plain gorgeous!

Tip: Don't give up on those nude lipsticks that are too light for you! Use a darker lip liner and blend it out before applying the lipstick/gloss.




What are your favorite nude lipsticks and combination? I wanna know!
