It's not very often that I wear a full on nude lip. This is mainly because if I do wear colour, it's usually on my lips and I'm also scared of concealer lips and looking dead. But recently, I've rediscovered a lip product that I used to be a fan of and a lip gloss that I've loved for a very long time. And together, they're the perfect couple.
This is a much better lip swatch than I usually do isn't it?! I've discovered the perfect angle to take lip swatches with so expect a few more. I'm pretty proud of myself. But yes! This is my perfect nude lip combination. So above I'm wearing the lipstick and lipgloss together and they create a beautiful nude, glossy lip that makes the lips look a lot fuller. The lipstick and gloss in question?...
Top, Bottom -
I've always loved this lipgloss since I received it free in a magazine (Cosmopolitan I think). Although it's nude, it's pretty sheer and alone, creates a lovely wash of colour and shine on the lips. And on top of any other lipgloss, creates a beautiful sheen that makes lips look a lot fuller. It smells divine and isn't sticky at all.
I did cave into the hype surrounding this lipstick a few years ago and at first, I hated it. I hated the colour, the formula, everything. But then I found out how to work with it. Don't stroke it on, pat the colour on and it doesn't apply so heavy and concealer like. The formula is very moisturising and it's just a lovely lipstick all round.
L-R Gosh Lipstick, Missguided Lipgloss.
Obviously these swatches were never going to be incredible; they're both very nude like and match the colour of my skin pretty well. But I thought I'd include them anyway.
