    Default Nude lips

    Does anyone do this? Ive seen alot of girls rock the look...and alot of people get it sooo wrong haha like when they put concealer all over their lips and it starts peeling off ick

    I havent a clue how to do it though? The only sort of nude lipstick I have is MAC's myth but its way too pink/light on me now I have a tan. Also my lips are quite pigmented red so some stuff doesnt show up very well on me (I have pics of me and my colouring if that would help anyone) I have tried alot of lipsticks on and they never seem to actually make my lips nude Does anyone have some suggestions?

    Some pics of the look I mean



    And nothing to do with this but omg its raining so hard outside and I just heard thunder like Ive never heard before and seen the biggest lightning flash lol

    Well, I'm not an expert here. But you do have to go w/you coloring. I see a lot of darker skinned people getting it wrong, or maybe tv is making it look bad. I look in magazines for ideas/color suggestions, Allure is kinda helpful. I think with any lipwear you need a primer to make it stay. They have those 'last all day' lip products, but I've never used them. I love the look also, especially with lots of eye makeup. Have you heard of Mally products, sold on QVC? She's very instructional, check out the colors, if you don't want to buy them, you could look for similar in a lower priced product. Good luck, let us know your coloring, that would help.

    I believe "Making Faces" by Kevyn Aucoin covers that.

    My copy is packed in a box somewhere or I would tell you how to do it. I used to wear my lips like that and honestly I don't even remember the technique because I haven't done it in so long.

    just regular base or concelar, then powder. then just clear lip gloss. I do this but not at the club, it looks like you didnt have any lips when its that dark. But very cute for a day time look.

    I struggled with the nude lip thing forever, and looked ridiculous. It looked like I just had foundation-colored lips.

    Then a friend of mine who does makeup for a living told me that for many skin tones, a true "nude" will never flatter the face. Instead, she recommended a try a nude shade that has a pink base.

    My lips are also very red naturally, so she also said to look for a nude pink with a hint of gray.

    She actually said I should look at cheapy brands until I found a shade that looked good, then take it to MAC or Clinique and have them match it.

    So I tried Rimmel's "Airy Fairy", a very matte nude pink with just a touch of gray to it.



    I know it looks very pink, but it doesn't go on that way. It just looks nude and gorgeous, especially with a smokey eye. And I've tried it on all different skin tones on my friends, and it just flatters a whole range of complexions.

    ^It's GORGEOUS! I had Clinique match it, but I just use the Rimmel brand every day, because I wear it constantly, and it'd be expensive to keep going to the Clinique counter haha.

    or you could just get the mac or whoever to let you test them. Even if you buy it and dont like it you can return it.

    What about Sephora.com? I think they have suggestions about makeup looks?
    I like the way Kim Kardashian does the nude lip. I'm sure there's stuff about her makeup out there, maybe that'd work for you? Good luck!

    Yeah love dark eyes and nude lips...I think pinky nudes look more flattering than the really beige ones too...
    Bexxx the cheapy Collection 2000 range have a lipliner Nude Pink, I use that all over my lips and then light pink/clear/nude lipgloss on top, it is quite pink as opposed to beigey nude but I think it looks really good.

    I'd suggest just going to MAC and telling them what you're looking for.... I've got a great gal at MAC that is amazing for things like that, and there's a reason why you have to be a makeup artist for 2 years before you work there.... I'm glad this thread is here! I've wanted to do this myself lately.

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know, there's lots of nude lip color suggestions in next month's Allure mag, (July issue, just now out, I don't know if you get it there, or if you can get the products). They mentioned a new Revlon Matte line, Nars brand, Styli-style brand (out in Aug.) On the cover they used an Estee Lauder nude lip color on Fergie, the model. I'll come back & list the exact color names. Right now a scary storm it on its way..

    I'm a huge fan of rockin' the nude lip color or pale lips at work, and the best thing so far i've found is the burt's bees lifeguard. Its white and it goes on giving a lighter pink tone and/or more nude color.

    Personally, I just use my cream concealer under a clear not-so-shiny gloss. Of course, I have to be very careful that my lips are moisturized but very clean, or else it does get that peely look some times.
    Exotic dancing is like any other job.
    If you work in an office, you wear dress shoes and a suit.
    If you work in a restaraunt, you wear skid resistant shoes and a uniform.
    If you work in a strip club, you wear 7" stilettos and lycra g-strings.
