I think this is something you learn as your experience make up, but everyone has their favourite type of 'nude' lip colour.
As for me it has to be a pink/ mauve nude!
Below are some of my favourite lip products in my favourite nude colour.
Left to right:
Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45.
Rimmel Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 42.
These lipsticks are great, especially for the drugstore! They are really moisturising & comfortable to wear. The smell is little weird but you get that quite a bit with drugstore lipsticks so I think it can be forgiven as these two colours are just beautiful nudes.
Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive.
I'm not a big lip lacquer fan but this one by Soap & Glory is actually quite nice as it isn't a matte finish. This makes it really moisturising and pretty long wearing (as it doesn't dry & crack). It also smells amazing, like ice cream.
MAC Lipstick in Twig.
This one is a little more on the brown side compared to the rest however I still love it. I feel like this is a great nude shade by MAC that isn't talked about enough! If you can't get hold of whirl, give this a try. It's a little more pink but that probably makes it look a little less aging.
Fleur De Force Lip Gloss in 020 Written in the Stars.
This is very new to my collection as it has not long been launched but it has already made it into my favourite list! Firstly, it's about time someone did a gloss instead of a lip lacquer (I'm totally over lip lacquers, sorry), as they're soooo much more wearable. This is honestly going to be a handbag staple of mine as it's buildable enough to wear on its own or to layer on top of another lip product.
Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Fauxmance.
Again I love a good lipgloss to finish off a lip look & these Benefit ones are perfect. They're so comfortable to wear and smell delicious! They aren't quite as pigmented as the Fleur ones though, so are better to layer over other lip products.
MAC Lip Liner in Dervish.
This is my go to lip liner! It's the base I use for all of my nude lip looks. I love this on it's own & combined with other products. Sometimes I use a lipstick or simply just a gloss like the Benefit Ultra Plush or the Fleur De Force.
What's your favourite type of nude?
If your favourites are similar to mine, let me know some mauve nude must haves of your own!

I personally am the sort of person who loves a glossy lip, even in fall.
These are some of my favourites glosses & they are Benefit's Ultra Plush Lip Glosses.
Firstly can we take a moment for this packaging. Benefit always gets a 10/10 on packaging for me!
This carnival style packaging is super cute.
The glosses come in a variety of very complimentary colours, airing more on the nude/ neutral side of lip colours. Which I personally really like in a range!
I think the most important thing to mention about the formulation is that they are NOT sticky, in any way, shape or form! Which makes them so comfortable to wear, to the point where you forget you're even wearing a gloss.
They aren't overly pigmented just like a lot of glosses, but I love to layer these over other lip products to create a really glossy lip look.
You can see the colour pay off in the swatch image below.
These two shades are fauxmance (top) & A-Lister (bottom). Which I got in last years Benefit advent calendar and I have to say I get SO much wear out of these two shades.
Overall these are a great gloss & I would highly recommend them!

New product launch!
Rimmel have just launched a new nude lipstick range under their Kate Moss lipstick line.
There are five shades in the range & they have also released a range of nude nail polishes along side these.
I imagine the aim of this line is to compete with Maybelline's nude lipstick collection, however I've never seen them available in the UK.
I picked up two shades from the range which I felt were the best for my skin tone. The shades I got were 42 & 45.
My general thought on the range is that it's a bit pale. I feel like there isn't much choice for women of colour. I've very pale and even I couldn't wear some of the lightest shades in this range without result being 'concealer lips'. Which is not a look I like!
With regards to the formulation of these lipsticks, they're a creamy slightly glossy finish. I think a similar range with a matte formulation would be a great next step for Rimmel!
They are very comfortable lipsticks to wear as well, which I like.
Above are some swatches of the two shades I got, 42 is on the left & 45 on the right.
Granted, to some these shades look very similar but each is slightly different & will suit certain skin tones better than others.
My personal favourite is 45, I feel like the slight pink tone suits my skin tone & hair better.
At only £5.49, I definitely think they're worth checking out.
Hopefully you can find one that's your perfect nude!
I'm actually hoping they expand the collection from only five lipstick as more shades are definitely needed.

Lip lacquers seem to be the 'it' product of the moment. Every brand is making their own version so I thought it was about it I gave some a try.
These are Make Up Revolution Salvation Velvet Lacquers.
I decided to only pick up three because if I don't like them I haven't lost much.
Here are swatches of the three lip lacquers:

I hauled this product back in December & have had quite a few questions about it.
So to me that calls for a review video!
This is the Make Up Revolution Awesome Eyeshadow Collection.
So this is an eye shadow palette combining neutral and colourful eye shadows.
There are 100 eye shadows in the palette & the palette costs only £12!
The colour variety in this palette is great. They also vary in finish which is good.
Although this does result in a differ in pigmentation. The matte shadows aren't as pigmented as the others. I think this is generally the case with more cheap eye shadows though.
Below are some swatches of a few shades out of the palette. You can see the differ in pigmentation here. I would also like to note these swatches aren't from just one swipe, more like three/ four.
