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?

On Sale NOW at Sephora - My Recommendations

No one loves a good sale more than me. Especially when it comes to makeup. Because makeup is my crack. I love that Sephora has been doing their "weekly wow" and featuring products once a week at a discounted price. I'd highly recommend checking them out and also follow Trendmood and Trendmood deals on Instagram so you can stay up to date on all new makeup releases, steals and deals.

So if you don't know, now ya know. Below are the products that are currently on sale that I would grab while ya can!!

Beca Liquid Crystal Glow Gloss

https://www.sephora.com/product/liquid-crystal-lip-topper-glow-gloss-P420606?skuId=1936624&icid2=products%20grid:p420606

These aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I think they are stunning. They are on trend with the whole holographic thing, but they are subtle and give your lips a really pretty crystal, juicy, duo-chrome look.

UD X Kristen Leanne Kaleidoscope Palette 

https://www.sephora.com/product/kristen-leanne-kaleidoscope-dream-eyeshadow-palette-P428609?skuId=2039402&icid2=products%20grid:p428609

I was surprised to see this one on sale because it came out pretty recently. Quite honestly, I had no intention of picking this one up because the bright colors looked a little intimidating. Then I saw all my favorite Youtubers creating such gorgeous looks with this palette (I'll insert some links below) and giving it such great reviews, that at $20, I decided to grab it. If you are looking for a more neutral palette, her Daydream palette is on sale for $13. I passed over it only because I have so much like it in my collection, but if you are in the market for an everyday shadow palette, I've heard great things. These are limited edition so I'd say get them asap if you likey.

Becca Light Chaser Highlighter 

https://www.sephora.com/product/light-chaser-highlighter-P420604?skuId=1936574&icid2=products%20grid:p420604

Becca makes some of my all time favorite highlights. The light chaser highlights are a little different than their regular ones, but still gorgeous. For $17 I'd say try yourself some champagne flashes Bellini.

Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil 

https://www.sephora.com/product/high-pigment-matte-pencil-P283905?skuId=1488253&icid2=products%20grid:p283905

I'm obsessed with Bite Beauty lip products. Their lipstick in honeycomb is in my top five lipsticks ever in life. The lip pencils are so creamy, they last long and glide on like a dream. At $10 so you should probably just get all of them.

Natasha Denona 

https://www.sephora.com/product/lip-color-matte-P417344?skuId=1909829&icid2=products%20grid:p417344

While on the lipstick train, this weeks Weekly Wow has some Natasha Denona lipsticks. So I'm going to be honest, I've never tried her lipsticks. But I love her makeup. It's super expensive, but they eyeshadows are incredible. She also has some beautiful blushes, highlights, foundations so I'd imagine her lip products are good too. There are some matte options as well as some shiny options. Anytime you can get Natasha Denona on sale, I'd say go for it.

Kat Von D - Lock It Brightening Powder 

https://www.sephora.com/product/lock-it-brightening-powder-P415231?skuId=1885268&icid2=products%20grid:p415231


I love this powder!! It really does set and brighten my undereyes. I'm actually so upset because they are sold out of my shade. But if you have medium to deep skin tones, I'd highly, highly recommend this powder.

FAB Trilogy 



https://www.sephora.com/product/fab-trilogy-P423674?skuId=1971456&icid2=products%20grid:p423674

First  Aid Beauty has been a lifesaver for my dry skin. I love their moisturizers and primers so much. I think this kit is a great way to check out some of their products if you are in the market for some great skincare.

Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Brush

https://www.sephora.com/product/shade-light-contour-brush-P392128?skuId=1654128&icid2=products%20grid:p392128

This is such a great brush.  I love that it's double sided because it's great for travel and can be used for bronzing, contour, blush and powder.
 
 While I'm here, I figured I'd share a few non-sephora deals while I'm at it. Hautelook often has some great make up deals. Currently they Kevyn Aucoin. I think the Neo-Trio Palette is an amazing steal.

https://www.hautelook.com/events/216610/products/2409030/kevyn-aucoin-neo-trio-palette?color=NO%20COLOR

TJ Maxx is also a fun place to find amazing makeup deals. They also have Kevyn Aucoin, Burberry, Milk Makeup, Nars and more!

https://tjmaxx.tjx.com/store/jump/product/women-beauty-makeup/Duo-Cream-Eyeshadow/1000335854?colorId=NS4373423&pos=1:11&N=4099689032

What are you picking up? Or are you saving for Ulta 21 days of beauty? I'll be sure to post some recommendations for that one as well! 

Makeup Steals and Deals

Between Sephora's Weekly Wow's, Ulta's coupons and deals and so many affordable makeup brands that are amazing, you can have an incredible make up collection and not have to pay a gazillion dollars. These products are either on sale or just a really great bang for your buck in general.

Sephora Sale

Urban Decay Metals Meallic Eyeshadow
On sale for $27, this palette will give you every glittery shade you could ever need in life. I like applying them to my lid with my finger of a flat brush sprayed with fix plus (or setting spray of choice)

https://www.sephora.com/product/heavy-metals-metallic-eyeshadow-palette-P425746?skuId=1995786&icid2=products%20grid:p425746

First Aid Beauty Fab Trilogy

https://www.sephora.com/product/fab-trilogy-P423674?skuId=1971456&icid2=products%20grid:p423674

Becca Liquid Crystal Glow
I think these lip toppers are beautiful if you want an extra little pop on your lip

https://www.sephora.com/product/liquid-crystal-lip-topper-glow-gloss-P420606?skuId=1936640&icid2=products%20grid:p420606

Becca Apres Glow Face Palette
I mentioned this in my ride or die. I absolutely love this face palette. I love the bronzer, the blush and the highlights and pretty much use every shade in the palette. I highly highly recommend this one especially at the sale price of $46
https://www.sephora.com/product/liquid-crystal-lip-topper-glow-gloss-P420606?skuId=1936640&icid2=products%20grid:p420606

I'm obsessed with Bite Beauty. Their lipsticks are on of my all time favorite formulas. These lip pencils are only $10!! Stock up while ya can

https://www.sephora.com/product/high-pigment-matte-pencil-P283905?skuId=1321645&icid2=products%20grid:p283905

Cover FX Illuminating Kit
The dewy setting spray is a ride or die for me and I also looove the custom enhancing drops, they are just very expensive. This kit is such a great deal because you can try the spray, the primer and the drops and with the drops, a little goes a long way! I love mixing the drops into my foundation for an extra dewy look.

Bang for Your Buck

So these products aren't on sale, I just think they are such a great price for the quality product you are getting!

Fenty Mini Set
The Fenty lip bomb is one of my ride or dies. It's so juicy and pretty and I've heard awesome things about fenty highlights as well. This is perfect to throw in your purse!
https://www.sephora.com/product/bomb-baby-mini-lip-face-set-P427643?icid2=:p427643:product

Beauty Blenders and cleaner
There is not much that's better than the original beauty blender. I basically use my beauty blender for everything. Foundation, concealer, powder, blending out cream contours and even highlight. So two get two beauty blenders and a big cleaner for $45 is a pretty good deal.
https://www.sephora.com/product/two-bb-clean-P406235?icid2=:p406235:product

Becca Jet, Set, Glow
Two of my favorite primers ever and my favorite undereye color correcting cream? SOLD
https://www.sephora.com/product/jet-set-glow-prep-prime-kit-P425741?icid2=:p425741:product

The BH Cosmetics and Carli Bybel Palette
This palette is so stunning, definitely one of my all time faves. You get beautiful eyeshadows and highlights to create so many looks! The shadows are pigmented and blend like a dream, the highlights are stunning and this palette is $22.50! An absolute must have

https://www.ulta.com/carli-bybel-deluxe-edition-21-color-eyeshadow-highlighter-palette?productId=xlsImpprod16261025&sku=2511567&_requestid=12088740

Blush Bliss Palette
As you know, Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes are my favorite blush formula. For $40 you get four beautiful blush shades
https://www.ulta.com/blush-bliss-blush-palette?productId=xlsImpprod16801756

Real Techniques Sponges and Brushes
I absolutely love  Real Techniques beauty sponges and brushes. They work so well and are so affordable

https://www.ulta.com/flawless-base-set?productId=xlsImpprod15361243

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Mini's

I actually do like the Huda formula because it's more moussey than drying. These mini matte's do last a long time and all the nude and pink colors are of course my jam.

https://www.sephora.com/product/liquid-matte-minis-P420241?icid2=:p420241:product

Morphe
To be honest, I didn't really like Morphe's eyeshadows at all until the Jacyln Hill palette came out and they were pressed differently/reformulated. Now I'm a fan. I have always been a fan of their brushes however. The eyeshadow palettes give you so many colors for such a reasonable price and the brushes are pretty good. Below are a few of my faves.

Brushes

I think this eye set for $25 is amazing and has all your eye makeup essentials crease brushes, blending brushes, liner brushes, pencil brush, brow brush.

https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/sets/products/set-702

I think this brush set is also a really great deal and comes with all the basics.
https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/sets/products/set-502-10-piece-deluxe-vegan-set

I will also say that I love this beauty sponge, especially for the flat side
https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/beauty-sponges/products/highlight-contour-sponge

Eyeshadow Palettes

You already know the Jaclyn Hill X Morphe palette is a ride or die
https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/eyeshadow-palettes/products/jh2-jaclyn-hill-ii-palette

The 35O2 has all your beautiful warm tones
https://www.morphebrushes.com/collections/eyeshadow-palettes/products/35o2-second-nature

Setting Mist
This is a really good setting spray. I love the bottle and the mist is just the perfect amount
https://www.morphebrushes.com/products/continuous-setting-mist

My Colourpop Faves

Colourpop is a magical brand of makeup. It's so affordable, the quality is amazing and they come out with an overwhelming amount of products. I decided to do a dedicated Colourpop Favorites blog. Which could change any minute, because did I mention they have a trillion new products launching every single day? If you haven't checked out colourpop you really must. And although their liquid lips aren't my fave formula, if you are looking to try a specific color such as a bright red or deep purple, but you don't want to spend a ton of money then this is the way to go. You will probably see that I am a fan of nudes. But colorpop has so many fun and unique lip colors.

Note: The concealers are really nice as is there brow pencil and eyeliners. I'm not going to recommend specific colors for brows and concealer since that will be based on your skin tone and brow color. Eyeliners i love the honeydude, mr,bing and the black, but the fun colors are great as well! Oh and their brow gel is bomb and super affordable.

I have starred my all time favorites
