Ok so I know I promised you nudes...
You're excited...
You're waiting...
You're ready...
Me too!
I'm so excited! Extremely excited!
FOR HUMANS TO STOP WILLINGLY WALK OUT OF THEIR HOMES LOOKING LIKE CLOWNS.
No, I'm not showing you my actual nudes you perv. Why would you ever want to subject yourself to such torture?
What I will be showing you are my favorite go too's for a natural/nude lip on medium/deep skin.
Now Sis(lol) you know and I know that, that nude lippie you're trying to rock was not created for your skin tone.
Please guys it's a New month! Walk away from the taupe, the cream, the pastel pink, the stone and "nude". You know that's not for you. Just like nude underwear doesn't blend that lipstick doesn't. Stop doing it to yourselves.
Lip liners are your friend but they don't work miracles.
Accept that differing shades of brown are your nude and flourish. Bless up.
As per usual all picks below will be a link to the products (once it's available). In every photo I am wearing NYX Black Brown Lip Pencil as a lip liner blended out, I wear this with EVERY lip I do
part habit/part I like how it looks/part you should always line your lips B.
Here are a few you can try:
Abu Dhabi by NYX $6.00
This is really cute and not too white that it makes your lips look ashy, I also love the formula(super creamy but still matte)
Embellish by Colourpop (discontinued) $6
This lip color is like the Holy Grail to me, I have been looking for a Dark Chocolate brown and colourpop blessed me with this gem and swiftly took it away(BRING IT BACK!!!). This color is what I imagined Kylie's"True Brown K" to look like on my skin. True Brown K looks more like Limbo(below) on deep brown skin based on my research.
Limbo by Colourpop $6
This colour is everything it's a true brown and looks much more nude natural in person on deep brown skin.
Frederique by Lena Lashes(discontinued) $20
This is a burgundy brown not nude but good for a dramatic neutral look.
Tootsi by Colourpop $5
This is a bit light for me but I don't mind it once lined and for $5 it's not bad. This a pinkish greige (Grey and Beige) colour
Are N Be by Colourpop $6
I love this shade so much, it probably doesn't count as a neutral but what the heck!
This Mauve colour will win your heart.
Toolips by Colourpop $6
This deep plum brown is definitely a neutral that anyone can wear but works well for a brown girl nude.
Sanctuary by Kat Von D $20
This nude coffee is definitely sure to please. Kat Von D has a bunch of browns in her liquid lipstick line if this isn't your cup of coffee you're sure to find another in the line.
Bare It All by Wet n Wild $1.99
Bare it All is a little on the taupe side but manageable once lined works well on deep skin tones and it's $1.99
Salem by Lime Crime $20
This True Brown Matte Lipstick by Lime Crime was my first brown girl nude purchase. I love the formula and it smells like cake batter. I later replaced it with Limbo (above)
Orchid by Smashbox $21
This gloss is a mauve brown shade. I'm not fond of glossy lips but this definitely deserves a spot on the neutrals list. This came in value set with 4 or 5 other gorgeous colours.
Mochalicious by Wet n Wild $1.99
Mochalicious this brown shade has pink undertones and compliments brown skin well and for the price is worth a try.
Honourable Mention:
Chocotease by Mac $21
This is a warm chocolate brown shade, it's a perfect brown girl nude.
Cognac by BITE $24
This is a dark brown which is perfect for deep skin tones or if you're looking for a nice dark brown lippie.
Black Brown Lip Pencil by NYX $3
This is the pencil used on my lips it blends well with my skin tone and hasn't failed me yet.
Suede Splash by Burt's Bees $9
I've been hearing good things about the new Burt's and Bees lipstick and this shade looks promising for a nude.
Obviously there are numerous different cosmetic brands and shades of brown for you to try. This is just a quick share for all girls but also for my brown girls on a quest for the perfect nude or brown. For whatever reason the general idea of nude is taupe, cream browns, stone and pale pinks which are fine for fairer complexions but for brown skin we look cray.
Like I mentioned previously Kat Von D expanded her line including more browns, Colourpop has also recently dropped some nude creme lippes, NYX has some great options and BITE has some promising shades.
Nude- clothing or makeup resembling the wearer's skin.
Take this and work your way to the perfect nude for you.
Nudes and Neutrals are very popular right now. Go forth and prosper in a world of nudes, browns, muted pinks and burgundy. Flourish!
Also remember to moisturize your lips regularly (lip balm works well), stay hydrated and avoid bad vibes.
Xoxo
