While the autumnal berry tones are in full swing in the lip department at the moment, I'm already preparing my lips for the winter months. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to bold lips, wearing purples and reds on a daily basis terrifies me. I feel like people are staring at me and thinking 'who does she think she is?' silly I know as no one probably cares what colour my lips are! More subtle colours like nudes and pinks are my safe haven, I feel they suit my skin tone better too, so when I saw this Maybelline Colour Show Lipstick in Nude Perfection (£4.99) I just knew I had to get it.
The lipstick is different to a regular lipstick in the sense it comes as a thick pencil as opposed to a tube. It is very easy to apply and really pigmented. I just run it over my lips a few times and they are full of colour. The colour itself is very non-offensive and a classic nude tone, it can be easily worn everyday but also dressed up with smoky eyes for a night out. It looks quite matte when applied and while this may work on some, I have quite dry lips, so I just swipe a little bit of Vaseline over the top and make it a bit more moisturised.
Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture that truly did the shade justice, but in my opinion this is a top contender for being a classic winter nude. The colour is really complementary to my skin and lasts for a good while throughout the day. Even more, with it being only only £4.99, it's very purse friendly!
What lip look will you be wearing this winter?
I love this colour! These pencils are just so good. I'm going to be doing a review of the shades I have next week sometime, if you fancy taking a look :) xxx
