Nude is always on trend, so I decided to put together this post for anyone who may be eager to try a more natural makeup look but is finding it difficult choosing the right nude lipstick colour.
People dont know how hard it is to find the PERFECT nude lipstick!
The perfect nude lipstick has to blend in with your skin tone and look natural.
Finding anything in flesh tone (from fashion to makeup) is a challenge.
My perfect nude lipstick for now is Mac Mocha.
It blends well and perfect for my skin colour.
I want Mac Freckletone next :)

Nude Lips Guidelines:
- Exfoliate - Dry chapped lips and nude lips do not work well. Make sure that your lips are well moisturized and i suggest using a lip scrub to rid the dead skin on your lips.You do NOT want dry and flaky lips.
- Cover Up - Everybody has a different lip colour Applying foundation or concealer on your lips will create the perfect base for a nude lipstick. Also, stay away from cooler nude colours with grey undertones because they can make you look dull and pale.
- Avoid White - Nude lipstick is not white lipstick! Many girls haved sported the well-known ashy lips in the name of nude. Stick to beige and very light pink tones.
- Dramatic Eyes - A nude lipstick is a perfect way to play/pimp up your eyes.Get creative with your eye makeup.A dark smoky eye will give you that dramatic look and will stand out with just the right nude lipstick.
