We made it! Our second week into 2021 and it’s been an eventful two weeks, to say the least! Hope you all have been keeping safe and taking care of your mental health! Today I want to talk lipsticks – specifically in nudey pink shades! Putting on the right lip shade is usually the icing on the cake when it comes to putting together your outfit! Depending on my outfit and the occasion – I’ve never been afraid to go bold! In fact, I love wearing a bright bold lip – it’s fun! With that being said, somehow majority of the shades I own fall between a nude and pink shade. What can I say… I know what I like and I like having multiple options! Obviously, I am not a make up artist and the makeup I own was purchased by me and I’ve definitely had my fair share of “fails”. I love online shopping but some things like make up and picking out shades, especially for women of color, is hit or miss! Thankfully I have bought enough of shades to know which one works for me and my skin tone! I’ve picked my top 6 nudey pink lippies that I love and I would 100% recommend, specifically my ladies with similar complexion!
Each of these lippies are different – some are matte (what I usually gravitate towards) and some are gloss and they range from $5 to $38. I will list them out from most affordable to most expensive and identify the type below.
1) NYX Butter Gloss
-
- Shade: Praline
- Price: $5
- Type: Gloss
Newest to the collection but obsessed with the price! Sometimes a glossy lip is all you need to complete your look without even trying!
2) Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick
-
- Shade: 23 Copper Blush
- Price: $15
- Type: Matte
The Sephora lip stains are underrated! There are so many colors to choose from and they are long lasting! I have too many shades to count!
3) Mented Cosmetics Gloss

Here for the representation! Love a brand that is color inclusive and WOC owned. If you haven’t checked out Mented Cosmetics yet, wait no further! You won’t be disappointed. When picking out shades, their models range from various skin tones allowing you to easily gauge which shade would fit you!
4) MAC Matte Lipstick
-
- Shade: Taupe

Oh man! I forgot I even owned this one and I’m glad I created this blog post leading me to find this little treasure. When I first got into wearing lipsticks, MAC was my go to. This shade is the PERFECT nude for me!
5) Kat Von D Beauty Everlasting Liquid Lipstick
-
- Shade: Lolita in Chesnut Rose

KVD’s Lolita is my ALL TIME favorite and my go to! I currently own 5 of them and keep them in multiple purses and my car because I’m too scared incase it got discontinued LOL!
