Trend: The Nude Lip

Anyone else notice the nude lip trend? I am all over it. I think it looks AMAZING with a great tan. Dark smoky eye with a nude lip. GORGEOUS! Jennifer Lopez works this look flawlessly.



My absolute favourite right now is Smashbox's Lip gloss in "Pixel". The formula is so moisturizing, I don't even need a coat of lip conditioner before I apply. It a very subtle light pink, almost iridescent. I use it for everyday.

Another wonderful colour is Nars Lipstick in "Sexual Healing". This one is an iridescent golden pink. If you haven't tried any Nars products, please do so. The lipstick, lip gloss, and eye shadows are fabulous. I love MAC, god knows I love MAC, but Nars takes it to the next level. Highly concentrated, wearable, beautiful makeup. However, in comparison to MAC, you will be paying well over $30 for a lipstick at Nars. You know in magazines where they do the "splurge" or "realistic" comparison? Well here you go. Eh, you live once right?



Another new colour Nars released from the Summer 2007 Collection-"Striptease". It's shiny, non sticky, and highly moisturizing. The lip glosses, come in over 35 shades. Nars is available at Sephora Toronto, and Holt's.



The nude lip look is freeing, refreshing and unpretentious. Try a pink-ginger tone if you're pale-skinned, or an bronze-gold tone if you are dark-skinned.

For the dark skinned ladies try MAC's Plushglass in "Wet, Wild, Wonderful". It's sheer lip colour with a pearlized high-shine gloss finish. It visibly plumps the lips to make them look luxuriously healthy and well-conditioned. Contains vitamin E for added environmental protection. Secret ingredient to plump lips? Cayenne Pepper. Just telling you what I heard from a MAC artist! Don't worry, it doesn't hurt, but it really plumps!! (Right Dani?)

It's summer ladies! Time to work it!
