These nudes are the heavy hitters of my lipstick collection. I love a bright or bold lip, but most often I reach for a nude. Neutral, nude, beige, peachy, cool toned, light, natural, pale- these are all the words I would use to describe these perfect shades.
When I was picking out the colors I wanted to focus on for this post, I went for nudes that were not too orange, warm, too pink, too dark brown, grey, or purple. These are flattering with just about any look, and during any season.
Sometimes I feel super boring when I choose to apply a nude when I’m doing my makeup, but I can’t help it. They are reliable and such a no- brainer! I made sure to leave out products that I don’t like the formula of- those too drying, bad consistencies, or that wear uncomfortably for one reason or another. All of these lipsticks are some that I highly recommend checking out. The shades pictured below are ordered from low price to high end.
Colourpop
Midi // Pale pink neutral goodness.
Echo Park // obsessed.
Magic Wand // obsessed again!
NYX Lingerie // Make sure to put Chapstick under these but they are a nice budget option! They need a couple layers. They aren’t my favorite formula in the world but I like them for a drugstore liquid lipstick.
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Abu Dhabi // classic liquid lipstick.
Milani Matte Naked lipstick // *heart eyes emoji*
Milani Amore Matte // I can’t remember the name because the sticker fell off… Adore maybe? The formula of this feels high end.
Maybelline Warm Me Up // this color makes me so happy and I can’t put my finger on exactly why. Everyone needs it!
ABH Pure Hollywood // Remember when this color was all over Instagram? Pure Hollywood is a great shade to mix with bold shades to make them more wearable and lighten them up.
ABH Stripped // This is so wearable and looks so pretty with a deeper nude lip liner.
Stila Caramello // not much to say other than I love this!
MAC Lady Be Good // Great mix of neutral and peachy
Nars Raquel // formula is next level
Bite Amuse Bouche Honeycomb // ditto of the Nars!
Buxom Nude Lip Foundation Undressed // I have used and abused this. So matte and precise for an easy application.
Kat Von D Bow and Arrow // um… They changed the formula of this color and it is way more cool toned now. I have the “old” formula… Kind of heartbroken and hoarding this because they changed the color.
Ofra São Paulo // newest addition to my lipstick collection- BEAUTIFUL. The picture shows it still wet because I was being impatient, it dries down just a tad darker. Ofra’s formula is top of the line too.
Dose of Colors Truffle // ideal.
The Ofra, Kat Von D, and Dose of Colors are probably my favorites out of the whole bunch. What are your must have nude shades?

My favorite of all the lipstick is the dose of color nude liquid lipstick
