ALL ABOUT THE DARK NUDES

A few years ago there was no way you would have seen me leaving the house wearing a nude lipstick. I am not lying, I couldn't go anywhere without a red or vampy lip. A lot has changed since then and I have seemed to tone it all down slightly and I seem to concentrate more on my eyes now and for those times when I do a darker eye I always complement them with a nude lip.

Here I've selected a few nudes that I love for when I have an elaborate eye or for when I'm not fancying a high maintenance lip (aka, lazy days). Some of these don't look too nude but once you applying them to your lips they are. Even tho I now wear nudes they still have to have some colour for me to be happy with it and all of these do. From pink base to brown, I love them all!

Starting from the left, this is probably the lightest one I have and it's the L'Oreal Color Riche JLO Nude. This definitely has a pink base and it looks very soft and delicate. I must admit is not my favorite as I feel a bit 'naked' without much colour on my lips but for those who love the 'nude' look will love this one.

Next up is my favorite of them all. It's the New Look Lipstick Apricot. Apricot has more of an orange undertone and it looks great when you have a very dark eye shadow on because it balances it out perfectly. Even tho it's a nude colour you can still tell that you're wearing lipstick, which is exactly what I want from a nude.

The Rimmel Coffee Shimmer looks super dark on my hand but once it's on your lips it's actually a very soft brown. This one I find I need to keep re-applying it every couple of hours.

Next is another on my favorites is the L'Oreal Erotique (Posted about it here). Even tho when I did the Battle of The Lipstick against Revlon Minsk that one won, I still think that Erotique is out of this world. It looks so natural and it's perfect for an everyday look.

And last but not least, Maybelline Caramel Cream. Again, like Coffee Shimmer, this looks darker on my hand than it does on my lips. Caramel Cream has a brown/orange undertone and it's not as shimmery as CS. I really like this one as it has a semi-matte finish which I love and it stays on for a good few hours.



So here's some of my 'dark nudes'. Do you have any of these? What are your favorite ones?
