In case you girls haven't noticed, I like pinky-nude lipstick...a lot! While going through my collection today, I realized that not only do I have a lot of lippies that are variations of the same color, but I also have a lot of MAC lipsticks. I can't really explain my little obsession, nor can I completely justify it either. I just love them! I think the main reason is that I love nudes, but I need some pink in order to avoid looking washed out or chalky. I'm secretly envious of all the girls out there who can pull off a truly pale lip. Kim Kardashian immediately comes to mind. With her beautiful tan skin and dark features, she can do a nude lip like no other! I personally am a bit on the lighter side of the complexion spectrum, especially during the winter months (Is it Summer yet?) A pinky-nude is a perfect solution to my problem. A bit pink, a bit nude. Extremely wearable. It looks great with smokey eyes, or with more natural looks. In a word,
Perfection.

See, they all look sort of similar. But different enough I guess =)
I'm so with ya when it comes to pinky nudes! I love them and in my eyes, they are all very different from each other!!
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of colours as well. Blankety is one of my faves!
ReplyDeleteI have always been a bold lip girl but lately I've been wearing a lot of pinky nudes. They seem to go with whatever eye makeup I'm wearing!
ReplyDeleteI was worried about doing it on myself too especially putting it in as highlights but it turned out ok, plus I new it was going to be gone after a few washes in case I screwed it up. ;-)
If you think your friend might like any of the shades you should enter for her. :-)
I love your pinkynude collection! Plink is one of my faves. How are you liking myself lipstick? Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm also a huge fan of pinky nudes! They just go with everything and I looveeee them <3 I'm jealous of your collection!

I am a big fan. I have way to love and blankety. I also recommend Hue, and tea rose from NYX. Plink! is on my get list. You are not alone in this obsession!
ReplyDeleteI love pinky nudes! They are the best! They always look great with anything else you use on your face!
ReplyDeletewow love the collection i dont own too many lipstick because its always easier for me to just apple gloss over a nude lipstick but these are so pretty
ReplyDeleteThe All Races All Ages All Sexes collection isn't out yet in the UK, but like for all the launches, I plan my wishlist lol. And I was contemplating whether to pick Myself lipstick up or not :) I'll make sure to check it out when its available next week!! I'd love to see a look of you wearing it!! xx
ReplyDeletethey're so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment hun! I would love to see your set up/storage as well, so whenever you do post it, I'll be on top of that!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this post too as I am also quite pale (whether I want to believe it or not) but I love the nude lip a la kim kardashian. So in the winter times, it's more the pinky tones than the lighter beige-y whites (like Close to Real or Darling). I like the looks of Myself... I should try it out.
Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your sweet comments girls. I highly recommend trying any of these out if you're in the market for a good neutral color. I am very happy with my little obsession!
