Nude lipsticks: The good, the bad, and the ugly.



There's no doubt that these 5 lipsticks have been used a lot, but as 'blanked out' lips look is getting fairly out-dated, and the return of the bold colours is back, I've decided to put these lipsticks to the back of my drawer, but before I do, I thought I'd do a quick review of them...From left to right they are:

  • GOSH Velvet touch lipstick in 134 "Darling"
  • E.L.F Mineral lipstick in "Natural Nymph"
  • Revlon matte lipstick in 001 "Nude Attitude"
  • Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in 700 "Nude delight"
  • Finally another E.L.F Mineral lipstick in "Nicely Nude"

First is the GOSH, glossy finish, not great staying power, but it has a nice scent to it, kind of like M.A.C ones. The E.L.F. lipstick, this is whiter than you think, it's very drying and VERY matte, probably my first ever full on nude lipstick, looking back, big mistake if you have any warm tones in your skin, just makes you look dead!

Revlon next, really nice peachy nude, which I prefer to the white based ones, very matte so I'd wear a lip balm underneath to stop you from getting a really dry finish, but this does also mean it has good staying power. Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipsticks are more like tinted balms to be honest, not great colour pay off, or staying power, so something just to slick on every now and again, without needing a mirror.

Finally the second E.L.F isn't really a nude at all, unless you have naturally very pigmented lips, then this will just match your natural lip colour, it's pretty but nothing special, just an every day girlie pink/peach.
