I love the nude lip thing…it looks so nice on girls..I tried every nude lipstick, light pink, light beige, i just can’t pull it off! I look washed out, weird looking…and yes i do make sure to do a nice dark smokey eye when i do try the nude look…still doesn’t work…I don’t like the way I look! I could just wear it for fashion…but I don’t feel comfortable when I don’t like the way I look in the mirror…i always end up putting my dark pink lipstick over it…
maybe not all desi’s can pull this look off? I know sometimes the nude lipstick doesn’t look good on dark skin tones, mashallah i have light/med skin tone…maybe its my lips shape? i have no idea..i really wish i could though, I love nude lips only on OTHERS!
I am in the same boat. Smashbox’s “Sublime” suits me though and a few Cover Girl ones. I look washed out with light color lips. Its harder for medium skins to find light lipsticks that suit them. I have seen African American women who look gorgeous in some nude shades which look awful on me.
I love the look too.. I have really dark lips though so I usually just wear a dark lipstick.. usually Verve by MAC and then use the nude lipgloss over it. The combination doesnt dull me out and it actually looks really good
My lips are quite pigmented…they’re just so pink I find it hard for me to pull off a true nude lip. I tend to go for pinky or peachy nudes instead of a beige nude.
I wouldn’t be able to pull off the traditional nude lips either. I realized my lips are more off a berry color anyways, so if I want to go nude I opt for pigmented lip glosses or whatever
