WEDNESDAY: NUDE LIP COLOUR PT. 1

i thought i'd start of makeup madness wednesdays by taking a look at NUDE LIP COLOUR. having rocked heavy berry tones and festive reds throughout the closing months of last year, i thought why not start january with a clean slate? ..literally.




The 2 key things to remember with a nude lip is to decide whether you are wearing it 'matte' or as i like to call it 'shiny' ! 
and this doesn't just count for the lip colour itself - consider your base//eyeshadow//bronzer//blusher to keep the look consistent.

Below is the MATTE look:







***although a matte finish has slightly fallen out of favour of recent years, a revival does seem to be on the cards. 
THINK: 60's / Olsens / Alexa Chung
TRY: NYX MATTE COLLECTION


Whereas this is the 'SHINY' look:







***much more popular in recent years has been the dewy finish to skin - perfect for spring + summer. works well with a simple eye or something a little more dramatic..
THINK: NARs Sheer Glow / Jennifer Lopez / Vanessa Paradis
TRY: MAC CREME D'NUDE
