Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not huge on lipstick… Gasp all you want but out of all things beauty and makeup-related, I find lipsticks the least, erm, ‘attractive’. Now don’t get me wrong, of course, I do dress up my lips from time-to-time but you’ll only find me wearing darker reds (like burgundy, brick-red and maroons) or nude shades.
Now, as a beauty editor, I get to test and try a lot of makeup. Which leads me to believe that I somewhat know a thing or two about the right texture, formulation and longevity of a good lipstick. And hey, a good nude lipstick can go with just about any eye look—which is what I’m all about! With that in mind, I’ve listed down 5 nude lipsticks that are my go-to, and would most definitely recommend and repurchase if and when the need arises.
