#AtoZChallenge- N- Nude Lips

There was a time when I used to think nude shades of lipstick are only for fair girls. And so I never wore them.

Such a myth it was.

Some years back, I discovered the power and the beauty of nude shades. And I am so glad I did. Nude shades are something that every woman must keep in her kit. And please ladies, if you think it won’t suit you, then you are wrong. Maybe you’ve not found THE ONE :D :D Keep looking for it, don’t give up and I am sure you will find it one day! (I am sounding like someone asking you to keep looking for the right man ;) :D :P )

Nude shades work great if you want to attend an afternoon event, daily application, and if you want to go a little dramatic with the eyes then nude lips work wonders!

For daily makeup, if you’re comfortable and have time, you can use a lip liner. Direct application will also do. I generally prefer the direct application of the lipstick.

The lipstick shade I have used here is Wine Play, from Lakme 9 to 5 range. (Sad news is this shade isn’t available anymore).

I have coated it with Liquid matte lipstick in the shade Blush Velvet, from Lakme again. These kinds turn into matte after a few seconds of the application. Also, if you haven’t tried this shade, please do! It’s brilliant!

Another very good shade in the nudes is, Skin Deep, from Faces

If you want to splurge a little bit, then the shades Crush, Sugar Mama, Wife and Icon, from Huda Beauty are a few good options you can give it a go.

Tip: Always apply a little amount of lip balm before proceeding with the lipstick. This keeps your lips hydrated and avoid them getting chapped.

Another tip: To make your lipstick last longer (which I’m sure all of us want), dab a little compact/foundation/concealer, whatever suits you and then proceed with your favorite lip color.

Any questions? You know the drill!
