My Favorite Nude Lipsticks

Hello fellow nude lip lovers. I figured after my blog about Jaclyn Hill and Lipstickgate, I'd follow up with nude lipsticks that are actually amazing. My skin tone is pretty fair, so the majority of my picks are best suited for light skin tones (sorry!) in terms of shades, but I will be talking about my all time favorite formulas in general so hopefully you can find your perfect nude. I'd also highly recommend this video and Alissa Ashley's channel.She is a fantastic beauty guru and has excellent recommendations for medium to deep skin tones.

I'll mix in some affordable options because a couple of my favorites are insane. Let me know your favorites and if you try any of these, send nudes!! (pics of your fave nude lipsticks to clarify). If you're thinking they all look the same, you're not really wrong BUT also you don't really get it.

Nude Lipliner

Pat McGrath
Shades: Contour and Done Undone

I know these are insanely expensive, but they have changed my lip liner game in the sense that I used to not wear lip liner's and now I can't live without these.  They are creamy, long wearing, long lasting and these colors!! Between the two of them, they will really work with anything.

Nude Lipsticks 

Charlotte Tilbury
Pillowtalk

I feel like this nude pink lipstick has become iconic and is my go to. Charlotte's matte revolution formula is fantastic because it's comfortable even on my dry ass chappy lips. You really can't go wrong with this perfect gem.

Charlotte Tilbury
Kim  KW

Although I'm not a huge Kardashian fan, I am a fan of this true nude lipstick in Charlotte's glorious satin finish. One of my all time favorite lipsticks ever.

Becca Ultimate Lipstick Love
Sugar

I love this cool light pinky beige for when I'm doing a more cool toned look. I also am obsessed with the formula, silky-satin lip color infused with the next generation of hyaluronic acid to keep my lips hydrated. Yes, I stole that from the Sephora description because they just said it so well.

Colourpop Luxe Lipstick
 Appy & Butter

What did we do without Colourpop? They make affordable products that are truly incredible and their luxe lipsticks are no exception. The creme lux are my personal favorite formula. Appy is described as a warm pinky beige. I also love Butter, a pale peachy nude. They have an amazing selection of colors and finishes so if you can't find your shade, it's not them - it's you.

 Colourpop Lippie Stix
 Grunge

 Put on your favorite flannel and pair it with this matte mid-toned red brown. Between that description and the fact that it is actually named "Grunge" do I even need to say more? Although this isn't nude on me, it could definitely be a nude option on deeper skin tones.

Pat McGrath Matte Trance Lipstick
1995

I miss the 90s (in case you couldn't tell) and this warm light nude takes me back. Also, Pat McGrath is a goddess.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick
Honeycomb

I love Bite Beauty's lip products, especially this beige nude dream.

Nude Lip Gloss

Fenty Gloss
Diamond Milk

This is a shimmering pearl and while not nude per se, it is just magical on top of a nude lipstick or liner. I love all three of Fenty's glosses and you can't go wrong with any or all of them, but this is the most special and unique if ya ask me.

 Bite Beauty French Press Lipgloss
 Flat White

Described as a pale pink, this gorgeous gloss is pigmented and smells like coffee! Win/win for a coffee lover like me.

Marc Jacobs High Shine Gloss
Sugar Sugar

Described as a champagne gold shimmer, this is truly the perfect nude lip gloss

Marc Jacobs Lip Gloss Stick
Mocha Choco- Lata

 First of all, how genius is a lip gloss stick? Secondly, I love me a good pinky nude. This lovechild of a lipstick/lipgloss/lip balm gives me life.

Pat McGrath Lust Lip Gloss
Faux Real

Described as a deep beige with a pearlescent sheen. First of all, Pat McGrath can do no wrong and her lipsticks, lip liners and lip glosses are perfection. I especially love this color because on me it reminds me of a grungy 90s lip gloss (if there was such a thing) but it also works on deeper skin tones!! It's so beautiful.

 Ofra Cosmetics
Apricot Dream

Apricot dream is right! I am obsessed with this sheer shimmering peach. It's shiny and juicy without being sticky. Simply stunning! I love to pair it on top of Ofra's liquid lipstick in Manila (see below).

Lip Laquer

Lancome L'Absolu Lacquer
Nuit & Jouer

I had to give this it's own category because it's a unicorn of a product. It has the sheen and comfort of a lip gloss, but the staying power of a lipstain. While I love many of the shades, 202 Nuit & Jour is a gorgeous light pinky beige. I'm in love with this color and this formula! 

Liquid Lipstick

Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint
Unbuttoned

Fenty makes my favorite liquid lipstick formula - one that my parched lips can tolerate. This peachy nude is comfortable, long lasting and lovely. It does transfer (which is probably why I can wear it since it's not tooooo matte), but I don't mind because it's awesome sauce.

Ofra  Cosmetics
Manila

Ofra also has a wonderful and comfortable liquid lipstick formula. Manila is the ultimate nude with a mousey formula that lasts long, but doesn't give me butthole lips. No one wants butthole lips.

What are your go to nudes?
