Nude Perfection
Nudes are such a tricky thing, more so than any other lip colour. I avoided them for so long because I could never find a shade that suited my skin tone - they all looked too much like I'd applied foundation to my lips. However, this Maybelline Color Drama velvet lip pencil in 'Nude Perfection' is a shade I feel would suit a lot of skin tones, especially those in that tricky fair-skin area.
It is deeper than the average nude and has a pinky brown tone to it that is flattering on even super fair skin. This is definitely one to try if you're in the same boat as me and struggle when it comes to finding that perfect nude shade, especially since the Maybelline Color Drama formula is one of my all time favourites. They are ultra pigmented, smooth, creamy and just a dream to apply due to the formula and the format. I have also seen a few comparisons of this shade to MAC's coveted Velvet Teddy, but as I don't own this shade I can't say for sure!
What is your favourite nude of all time?
Gorgeous colour! I need something like that xx

Love this one. It's similiar by colours with my Mac lip pencil which I apply and shade, and lips look little bit bigger :)

This looks like such a great colour, and Maybelline is always so affordable too! x

A brown infused nude seems to work on my skin, too, especially when paired with a dark smokey eye. And I love that these are affordable. And the stick form. And... well, I think I´ll have to get one.

I think everyone does! x
ReplyDeleteWhat lip pencil do you use? It sounds like a lovely effect. x
ReplyDeleteMaybelline are one of my favorite drugstore brands! Their quality vs price point is so great. x
ReplyDeleteThis would look so beautiful with a smokey eye! I have to try it. x
ReplyDeleteI definitely want them to bring out more colours too! There are too many brights for my personal taste, and I think some more neutral/wearable shades would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't find my perfect nude lip pencil yet, but thanks for this review! I will definitely try Maybelline:)

I am so desperate to find a MAC Velvet Teddy dupe, I feel like I just need to stop pansying about and just buy it haha but maybe I'll give this one a go first! I also find Maybelline are really good with their lip products! Lovely post :) xx

That is a beautiful shade + i love those chubby lipstick pencils.
ReplyDeleteOhh it looks like such a beautiful shade <3
ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of side by side swatches and they look so similar! I definitely think this a great substitute until you get your hands on Velvet Teddy. x
ReplyDeleteIt really is! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely check it out, it's such a staple shade.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do! I struggled to find my perfect shade as well. Nottinghill Nude by Rimmel is a good one too, but I think is more brown-peach than this. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by! x
ReplyDeleteMe too! They are such a great format. x
ReplyDeleteIt really is! Definitely one to try. x
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing shade, love it!

Love this shade! I'm the same with nudes, A LOT don't suit me, but this one is so flattering! It definitely reminded me of Velvet Teddy as well.

This looks like a nude I'd love! I agree that I always feel like I look foundation-lipped in nudes, so when you find the good 'uns you can't help but keep repurchasing!

Looks like such a nice nude! MUA also do a pretty good one for that KyJ look on a budget, only £1!

ReplyDeletexx Angie | http://www.thefashionfuse.com/
It's so stunning! x
ReplyDeleteThis and a rimmel one are the only two I've found that suit me! I think it's the pinky brown tones that make it flattering. x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! This is quite a pinky brown shade, so I think it would suit a lot of people. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation! x
ReplyDeleteMaybelline's lip products are always so incredible! x
ReplyDeleteThey look so nice on paler complexions! x
ReplyDeleteIt is! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do, you won't regret it! x
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to look into the Kate ones, Rimmel's formulation is great. x
ReplyDeleteThat's why I love it as well! It can be so hard to find nudes for pale skin. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do, I'm sure you'll love it! x
