When Makeup Goes Wrong: Nude Lips

My Dearest Beauties,

Let us talk about another very common makeup mistake. Nude lips are beautiful, they are my personal favorite. But, your lightest concealer cannot replace the shade of the right nude lip color. The trick is to choose a nude shade that is at least two shades darker than you skin tone. Think of the natural color of your lips or even a muted version of it. As you can see in the images below it looks a bit off. Lips are supposed to look inviting and luscious. Our lipsticks should make us look healthy, even on those days when we actually don’t feel healthy whatsoever. 

Can you catch the difference? I think the natural muted nude lip on the second set of pictures is more natural, realistic and youthful.

Tell me about makeup mistakes you have noticed on other people or yourself on the comments below.

Much love,
