LIP SWATCHES

Are you always looking for that perfect nude lipstick?

I have trouble with knowing what lipsticks will look like
even if you try them in store they can often look different when you get them home.

Anyway, I have done lip swatches of my nude lipsticks so hopefully this can help you.

My lips are medium pink and quite pigmented so nude lipsticks can sometimes be quite hard to find!
(Try dabbing 1 shade darker than your skintone concealer over lipbalm to blot out strong lipcolor)
Mac shy girl, Creme d'nude, Freckletone, Peachstock, ELF natural nymph, runway pink

MAC CREME D'NUDE


MAC FRECKLETONE

MAC PEACHSTOCK

ELF NATURAL NYMPH

ELF RUNWAY PINK
MAC SHY GIRL

 
DESCRIPTIONS

Mac Shy girl - Coral peach, slight texture to it, good with a golden makeup look, more peach than true nude but subtle enough

Mac Creme d'nude - definately better for fairer skinned pink toned people, true nude if it suits you, very creamy
(pale pink beige)

Mac Freckletone - brown-based peach, darker nude, better for olive/darker skins, good nude
(not pale though)

Mac Peachstock - my favourite! Opaque true pale peach (shame its limited edition) Best for medium skintones.

ELF natural nymph - surprisingly good for a £3 lipstick, really smooth, blanks out lip colour nicely,
like creme d'nude but more satin/matte (less creamy)

ELF runway pink - perfect pale pink, not too strong, good for most skintones
