5 Comfortable Nudes


During the Summer months a matte bright lip is my worst nightmare. Because I tend to wear more of a BB Cream rather than a foundation, harsh and intense lipsticks can look very weird, so instead I like to wear something comfortable, sheer yet still with some pigment. So here's a quick rundown on a couple of pretty comfortable nudes to wear in the Summer time. 

L'Oreal Paris Privee Color Riche Lipstick in J-Lo's Nude  I'm a big fan of the L'Oreal Color Riche collections, they are so hydrating, comfortable and the staying power is pretty incredible. I definitely think these not only look but feel luxurious for a drugstore lipstick.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution 'Pillow Talk'  is a lipstick I'm pretty sure you're all sick of hearing about - I have a full review here  so I won't harp on too much. Now I know I said that I hate matte formulas during the Summer, but this is far from matte in my opinion. It's incredibly creamy and makes my lips look fuller and a better version of themselves.

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G 'Bitch Perfect' - Another lipstick that I never stop talking about on this blog - full review here. Much sheerer in formula than Pillow Talk, Bitch Perfect is a beautiful classic peach shade perfect when you have a bit more of a tan and to pair with a bronze/glowey makeup look. 

Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color 'Naked'  - Now my sincere apologies for the horrific swatch here but there's a very good reason. I don't own a lot of lip pencils so sharpening them is a little frustrating. I purchased a sharpener specifically for this lip pencil but I can't find it anywhere and it's such a specific size lip pencil, I can't just use any - how annoying. Lip pencils aren't a product I tend to pick up but I don't know why could be the sharpener debacle. If I need a quick lipstick fix during the day/have forgotten my lipstick this is perfect for a shimmery gloss/like lip colour. I adore the colour, it's shiny and although the wear time isn't the longest, you get a lot of product in a lip pencil so you don't feel so bad re-applying. 

Lastly is the beautiful Clinique Pop Lipstick 'Nude Pop' - mine is still only a mini (I gave my full sized one away) but this product lives in my on-the-go makeup bag. If someone decides on a spontaneous after works drink, or I've forgotten my lipstick to touch up on the day, I know that I can always rely on this to save the day. It's very hydrating, smooth to apply and is so glossy and vibrant that it gives you an effortless look.

  13. I have a couple Revlon ones (a lip butter and another generic) I always forget to wear lippy! I also hate pencils that you have to sharpen, I always look for the twister ones, they're handy.
