10 Best Nude Lipsticks | My Favourite Natural-Looking Lipsticks

While I really like the look of bright and bold lipsticks, in general, I find that they just either don’t suit me or my life. The fact is, bold lipsticks require a level of maintenance and care that I am rarely willing to put in when I am wearing lipstick. So, basically, I reserve my bold lipsticks for special occasions and I stick to my nude lipsticks for daily wear.  Now to be clear, no one nude lipstick will suit absolutely everyone, so before we begin I just want to mention that a lot of these will be noted as the best nude lipsticks for fair skin because I am just speaking from my perspective and my skin happens to be quite fair.  However, I am also sharing a few tips on how to find your perfect nude lipstick so even if the ones I note today aren’t for you, hopefully, the tricks I’ve shared will help you find your perfect neutral lipstick.    Woman holding pink lipstick shade and applying it while looking in the mirror. 10 Best Nude Lipsticks | My Favourite Natural-Looking Lipsticks  

2 Tricks to Finding Your PERFECT Nude Lipsticks 

Your Lips but Better… Really. 

So the first trick to finding the perfect nude lipsticks is to actually look at your natural lip colour. Begin by exfoliating and moisturizing your lips and then try to find a lipstick that closely resembles your natural lip colour. Make sure you use a scrub and lip balm before matching your lip colour though, otherwise you may end up selecting a lipstick that looks too fair or washed out on you.   

The Nip Test

If you want a nude lipstick that is slightly different from your natural lip colour, then try the nipple test. Most people’s nipples are slightly darker, peachier, or pinker than their lips and this is a good indication of what would look great on you like lipstick. Try to find something that matches your nipple colour closely for a lipstick that’s a nude with a subtle twist.    best nude lipsticks drugstore, best nude lipsticks for fair skin, best natural looking lipstick colors, best drugstore lipstick for fair skin, natural looking lipstick shades, best everyday lipstick, best natural lipstick, best lipstick for fair skin with pink undertones

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillowtalk

I’ve talked about and used Charlotte Tilbury’s Lipstick in Pillowtalk a number of times, so I am sure it comes as no surprise that it’s one of my very favourite lipsticks.  Charlotte Tilbury’s Lipstick in Pillowtalk is the perfect soft peachy rose nude lipstick and it really one that I would consider very close to my natural lip colour. I love this lipstick for everyday wear, but I also find it pairs beautifully with more dramatic looks. It’s a really versatile lipstick.  In addition, the matte formula of this lipstick is surprisingly comfortable. While I am always drawn to more balm-like lipsticks, this matte lipstick is the exception.  best nude lipsticks drugstore, best nude lipsticks for fair skin, best natural looking lipstick colors, best drugstore lipstick for fair skin, natural looking lipstick shades, best everyday lipstick, best natural lipstick, best lipstick for fair skin with pink undertones *** If you have a deeper skin tone then you may want to check out Charlotte Tilbury’s newest nude lipsticks in “Pillow Talk Medium” and “Pillow Talk Intense” (Pillow Talk Intense is in the KISSING Formula which is more of a satin finish, not the matte revolution formula)  If you don’t love matte formula’s, then I highly recommend you check out Charlotte Tilbury’s other products in Pillow Talk (they are all stunning!): – Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Lip Bath Gloss in Pillow Talk – Charlotte Tilbury Lip Lustre Lip Gloss in Pillow Talk

Clarins Natural Lip Perfector 

My typical go-to lipsticks/lip-balms are ones in a natural colour that are super moisturizing. The Clarins Natural Lip Perfector is just that – a beautiful wash of colour that is super moisturizing and comfortable on the lips. I actually own 2 of the Clarins Natural Lip Perfectors and I love them both so much.  The one I am actually wearing as I write this is “Intense Maple #17″ which shows up on me slightly more reddish and berry-toned than my natural lip colour. I wouldn’t consider this as much of a nude shade on me, instead, I would say it gives a bit more of a punchy pop of colour than my usual nude lipsticks do. However, it is so comfortable and it wears off like a balm so it’s a great daily wear lipstick. In addition, this would be an excellent nude lipstick for those with deeper skin tones. The shade I wear most frequently though is the “Intense Rosebud #16″ as this is really a perfect nude lip colour on me. It’s slightly deeper than my natural lip colour and it has a really beautiful rosy-peach tone to it that I just love!

Burts Bees Blush Basin

When I was in high school my favourite lip balms were always from Burts Bees. I used to always use the Burts Bees Lip Shimmer in Peony (I still really love this one!) and so when they came out with the Burts Bees Natural Satin Lipsticks, I was really excited about them.  I actually have a bunch of shades now because I love the formula so much, but the one in particular that I find to be such a beautiful nude shade is Blush Basin. It has a really beautiful blush tone to it that’s soft and rosy and super wearable.

Emani Lipgloss in Social Climber

If you follow me on Instagram, then you likely know I am a big fan of Emani makeup products – in particular, their foundations and lip products.  Emani Lipgloss in Social Climber is one of those colours that I just always find myself turning to. It’s such a beautiful blush pink gloss and it’s a bit unique for a gloss because it’s quite opaque rather than sheer. I would almost consider it a lip cream.    best nude lipsticks drugstore, best nude lipsticks for fair skin, best natural looking lipstick colors, best drugstore lipstick for fair skin, natural looking lipstick shades, best everyday lipstick, best natural lipstick, best lipstick for fair skin with pink undertones

FRESH Lip Balm in Petal 

I’ve talked a lot about Fresh Beauty here on the UU because I’m a big fan of the brand overall. I love their skincare, but even more so I love their lip balms. They are super creamy, moisturizing, and beautiful. While their simple clean balms are great, their tinted balms are really where it’s at.  I have a few of the Fresh Beauty Tinted Lip balms, but the one I would definitely consider my favourite is called “Petal” – its a beautiful soft pink rose tone that is such a great wearable colour. It fades nicely as you wear it so you don’t have to worry about reapplication and it just feels SO comfortable on the lips.

Charlotte Tilbury In Love with Olivia 

If you read my Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 Review then you likely already know that the shade “In Love with Olivia” (inspired by Olivia Palmero) was one of my favourite nude lipsticks in the collection. This shade is a corally-pink nude that I absolutely love. It’s such a beautiful shade for everyday wear. Like many satin lipsticks, it isn’t the most long-wearing lipstick however it fades very naturally on the lips and doesn’t break up or cling to areas as it wears off (like some liquid and matte lipsticks can).

Tarte Sea Colour Splash Lipstick in Colada 

The Tarte Sea Colour Splash Lipsticks are some of my favourites, I absolutely LOVE the formula of them. In particular, the shade Colada has been one of my favourite nude lipsticks for quite some time. It’s a beautiful peachy-nude tone that seems to just work so beautifully with every style of makeup – its very versatile. In addition to Colada, I am also a big fan of Salt Lyfe and Beach Babe from this lipstick collection.

Milani Colour Statement Lipstick in Nude Creme

I have yet to try a Milani product that I don’t like, and that includes their lipsticks. Their Colour Statement Lipstick in Nude Creme is a particular favourite of mine. This shade is a bit more on the pink/rose side of nudes and it has a bit of a shine to it so I would consider this a satin-finish lipstick. It’s very comfortable to wear all day as it does have that lovely balmy feeling to it.       best nude lipsticks drugstore, best nude lipsticks for fair skin, best natural looking lipstick colors, best drugstore lipstick for fair skin, natural looking lipstick shades, best everyday lipstick, best natural lipstick, best lipstick for fair skin with pink undertones

Bite Beauty Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon in Leche

Many many years ago, I purchased a double-sided lip crayon from Bite Beauty. One side had Leche in it (I wish I could remember what the order side was!) and ever since trying it back then, I’ve absolutely loved it. This lipstick is a stunning medium-coral-pink nude. This lipstick has a very creamy matte finish and it applies a fully opaque colour in one swipe.

Bare Minerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in Grace

The Bare Minerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick in Grace is one that I just recently picked up but have been really enjoying since getting it. It’s a pale pink nude shade with a satin finish so it feels quite moisturizing and comfortable on the lips.

    I am a huge fan of Revlon Matte Balm lip crayon but never tried the other ranges. Nars lip crayons have long been in my list to try however, I am still on my spending ban and hopefully I'll get to try some later in the year.

      Revlon is great because it's so affordable and the colours are so pigmented. I love their balms so much since they really don't sacrifice colour or the comfort of a lipblam! Good for you on your spending ban, Shireen! I seriously should do that too! =|

    I was obsessed with the NARS Train Bleu when I swatched it, then I put it on and it was a whole different story. It turned Barney purple on me, which wasn't a good look. Ha! Love each of your picks girl!

      Awe that's a shame, Jaime! It definitely has a purple undertone to it, but I have found it appears more of a black-burgundy on me. When it fades it just makes my lips look really dark red!

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
