Nude hues are slowly taking over my lip product collection. A few years back you'd be lucky to find anything even slightly neutral in my stash but now nude lip products are all I seem to buy. I still absolutely adore wearing a classic red lip now and again but nothing seems to effortlessly pull a look together like the perfect nude lip. Somehow I've managed what I thought would be impossible and I've whittled down my collection and selected my Top 5 Nude Lip Products to share with you. From barely there washes of colour to bolder, more solid mattes I think I've managed to cover every base. I suppose my Top 5 products are almost like a capsule wardrobe for the lips!
bareMinerals Marvellous Moxie Gloss - Trial Blazer*
bareMinerals's Marvellous Moxie glosses are the only lipgloss formula I actually enjoy wearing. They're highly pigmented, smell amazing and, mostly importantly, they're not sticky! Trial Blazer is probably my absolute favourite nude lip product of all time and I would literally buy 50 if they ever discontinued it. It's a creamy golden nude shade with subtle golden flecks in it and it looks pretty alone or over any nude lipstick.
Stila Convertible Color - Camellia
Stila's Convertible Colors are perfect to keep in your handbag and they have a very pigmented and creamy formula which I enjoy wearing on the lips and on the cheeks. I have a miniature version of Camellia, a peachy brown shade, that really warms up my complexion. Camilla has a velvet-like texture on my lips, it's not matte but I wouldn't glass it as glossy either. The Convertible Colors wear better on the cheeks but last a few hours on my lips.
MAC - Yash
Mac's Yash has a matte formula and it's probably the most neutral nude I own. On my pale skin it tends to look quite brown and I'd describe this as the less pink version of Velvet Teddy. It was originally designed for Indian skintones but I think it's flattering on fair skin too, although it does look a lot darker and less pink of my skin than a lot of swatches online. I find Mac's matte formula comfortable and not too drying on the lips and I only need one swipe for an opaque finish.
NYX Soft Matte Cream - Athens
This is a very new addition to my collection but I love the mousse-like, lightweight texture of the NYX Soft Matte Cream's so much I had to include the gorgeous Athens. I literally ran to the new NYX counter in Middlesbrough when I spotted it a few weeks ago. Athens is a warm, peachy-pink nude but I've found it can be built up to a much deeper, darker shade by layering it on the lips. I like to apply 1 thin layer, wait a minutes, then apply a second layer to achieve an opaque, long-lasting finish!
