Lips


How to get that sexy nude lips you see on the poster?


For those of us have uneven color on our lips, it is a little harder to create nude lip without proper technique . It's very common to have uneven color lip, which means your lip color is darker around your lip line, but lighter on your lips. I actually have he typical uneven color lips.

Lip Care -

Lip care is important. First, you must remember to scrub it in your facial routine. Don't avoid your lips when you apply your scrubs or facial masks.

Here are a few good lip balm I recommend:

 1. Aveeno Lip Balm with SPF 15 - Very moisturizing and doesn't have any smell or taste. Long lasting.

2. Keihl's lip balm - Super moisturizing, perfect for winter



3. Fresh lip Balm -  SPF 15 and the Rose tinted lip balm - I recommended these 2 in another blog post earlier this year. I always have them in my purse. Highly recommended



Make-up - Creating Nude lip with lip liner and lip sticks (gloss)



1. Pick up a good lip liner - 

In order to cover up the darker color around your lip, a good lip liner is key to do the trick

Sephora's lip liner collection are easy to apply and longer lasting. You can choose the following color:
04 Candid Candy or  05 Native Nude (The picture is not the color I recommended, make sure you pick up the right color)

Draw the lip liner first before putting on lip stick/ gloss, you can easily blend the lip liner color into the lips, so you faded the lines. Visible lip line is a big NO-NO.


2. Pick a good lip stick for the nude lip color



High Tea lipstick is a sheer, lightly pinked nude shade, Myth lipstick is a satiny smooth, fleshy beige shade, and Honeylove lipstick pink-nude lip

Blankety lipstick (creamy), Hug Me lipstick ( a little pink) and Creme d’Nude lipstick ( creamy, beigey-nude, warmer color)
3. Lip Gloss - 

You have to go easy on the lip gloss. Clear or nude color is recommended.

I love Bobbi Brown make-up. She really knows how to create high quality products. Their lip gloss is smooth, thick and creamy. You can try Nude, Beige, or Pink Beige. They are all good colors.


Burt's Bee's lip products are amazing. Actually, I really love their lip balm too. So, back to the lip gloss. Burt's bee's lip gloss has a little shimmer. I personally don't use a lot of shimmer on my lips. But, if this is going to be evening look or going out look, you can try this shimmer lip gloss. You nude lips will catch some eyes. :)







Enjoy your nude lips~
