Nude Pouts101!


Fall 2011's nude, no makeup look is one of the hottest trends alongside the bold lip. It is important to know what nude lip color to select when wearing a nude lip color. Here are some tips for your nude pout!


The Right Nude for you!

  •  For fair or pale skin: With lighter skin tones, avoid beige lipsticks, which will just wash you out. Instead, look to pink, peach, or pale apricot as your base shade. Tip: apply a lip liner in a color one shade darker than your natural tone to give your nude tone a brightened effect.
  • For the golden girls: If you've got lots of golden undertones in your skin, go for creamy, caramel-toned nudes and warm beiges. Avoid anything too cool, like grays or silver-toned shades.
  • For olive tones: If you've got olive skin, you're a lucky gal. Just about any nude shade will look great on you from beige to bronze to pinks.
  • For skin with yellow undertones: Think light, creamy-toned beiges like latte or mocha.
  • For dark-toned skin: Go for chocolate tones such as rich golden browns and coffees



Prepping Your Lip!

  • make sure that your lips are well conditioned before you apply any type of color to them. 
  • exfoliate at night before bed to remove all of the dead skin cells that are on the surface. 
The Application:
  • To apply your lipstick, begin with a layer of foundation over the surface of your lips
  • Apply your nude lipstick shade, and add a hint of gloss across the center of the lower lip to give your mouth a sexy pout.

Mapping it out!



I came across this great visual map which illustrates where we should apply our contours and highlights. 
Contour - darker foundation or powder
Highlight- your regular foundation or a light shade  that will be blended in with the contour for a     blended finish.


Check out my refresher video on highlighting and contouring after the break.

Foundation overhaul with changing Weather!

As we head into the cooler months you might  notice that your skin color has lightened due to the change in climate. This will signal to you that maybe you might have to go a shade or so lighter with your foundation to keep it looking natural . To know if you are due for a change pay special attention when applying your foundation if there is a distinct difference between your face and your neck. 
Do a daylight check with your mirror out doors to see what your face looks like in natural light. If it looks like you are wearing a mask then you need to go lighter.
Even though you might have to adjust your foundation, the darker foundation you used in the Summer will still be of use as you can use it to contour your cheeks, nose, temple and jawline by applying it in those areas,so it will not go to waste.
