I love love love a NUDE lip! It’s SEXY, CHIC, and SIMPLE! The key to finding the right nude lipstick is to TEST THEM OUT! The same shade of nude doesn’t flatter every skin tone, so don’t exactly go off of what your friend may wear!

Here’s a few tips on how to find the right nude lip for YOU!

1. First EXFOLIATE & MOISTURIZE your lips! This provides a smooth surface for any lipstick you choose to wear. Just use a wet, soft baby toothbrush and gently rub it against your lips. Follow up with a little bit of lip balm!

2. A nude lip looks great with a smokey eye (One of…My favorite look!), or you could go simple with a little splash of color on your eyes, or a bright pink on your cheeks (so you don’t appear washed out), and lots of mascara for beautiful lashes!!
