My Signature Nude Lip

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “What are you wearing on your lips?” I thought that I would make a post taking about it. Hopefully this answers any of the questions that you may have.

I like to wear matte lip colors. I like how well they stay on, and I really do not have to re-apply much throughout the day. If you want to wear a matte lip, you should always make sure your lips are nice and soft. If you have really dry lips and apply a matte product over it, it's not going to look very nice.

I make sure I exfoliate my lips at least four times a week. It's completely up to you and how your lips are. If you find that four times a week is too much, try twice a week. I get really chapped lips, so I have to try and stay on top of things and take really good care of them.  

The lip scrub I use is the D.I.Y Lip Scrub I posted awhile back. It's super easy to make and you probably already have the ingredients around your house. It gets the job done and is very affordable, so go ahead and check that out.

After you exfoliate your lips be sure to apply a lip balm just to make sure they do not get irritated.

I really do not think there is anything more sexy than a nude lip. I love nude shades. I have two holey grail products I swear by that work perfectly and look great on just about everyone.

Those two products are the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in the shade SMLc04 London and the NYX Lip Liner in the shade 810 Natural. These are my go to products.

I do use other lip products, but 90% of the time, this is what I have on. Would you be interested in me doing a post about other products I use on my lips?

How To Achieve My Signature Nude Lip

1. Make sure your lips are nicely exfoliated. If you just exfoliated them make sure you apply a lip balm afterwards.
2. When you are done the rest of your makeup and are ready to do your lips, gently remove whatever lip balm is left on your lips with a tissue. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Do not try to line your lips with lip balm on. They wont come out the same as mine. This look is very matte and I find that the greasy texture of the balm will mess with the way this will turn out.
3. Begin to line your lips with your NYX Natural pencil. I always fill in my entire lip. It really helps bring out the color of the lip cream and helps make it stay put throughout the day.
4. After that we are going to apply our Soft Matte Lip Cream in London all over our lips. The trick here is that I never apply just one coat, I apply three. This is what is going to give you that over the top, sexy pout. In between each coat you are going to let it dry. This makes all the world of different so be sure to let it dry before applying your other coats.

This is not a "no makeup" kind of nude lip. Its dramatic but very sexy!

That is it! Very simple, easy, and affordable.

I hope that you all enjoyed this post and I will talk to you all in my next one xo
