Pickup A Trend: Smoky + Nude Lips

Initially, my plan was to explain how to get the 'perfect' Nude lips...
When I did my research, it occur to me that I may as well cover the overall look for nude lips.

So, here goes nothing...

The Inspiration





:: SMOKEY + NUDE ::

Haha...bajet best~ :P
P.S: This eye-do is quite dark real life however, my camera-phone failed to capture actual image T__T
Siapa nak derma SLR, please...




Products I use to achieve this makeup-do:
(in sequence)

 









Face:
Red Earth Skin Perfection All-in-One Concealer
Pupa Milano Smoothing Foundation Primer
Burberry Beauty Sheer Foundation No.05
MAC Translucent Finishing Powder



Eyes:
The Face Shop Lovely Meex Cream Shadow in Grey (as base)
MAC Electra (1/3 of inner lid)
MAC Mineralism (1/3 of middle lid)
MAC Black Tied - smudge and blend ( remaining 1/3, corner and crease)
Elianto Black Eyeliner - upper & lower waterline, upper and lower lid
MAC Shroom (highlighter)
MAC Wedge - used to define brows
MAC Zoom Lash Mascara

Cheeks:
MAC Powder blusher in Peachykeen

Lips:
Red Earth Skin Perfection All-in-One Concealer (to lightly dab onto lips and around it)
MAC Wedge - line lips using an angled brush
Burberry Lip Cover Soft Satin Lipstick No.01 Nude Beige
Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss No.09 in Naked









The Result




Tips:
- To get the perfect nude lips is all about lining your lips with soft brown/pink/nude lipliners
- If you don't own any, you can opt for lining you lips with eye shadow that is closest to you skin color
- Remember to apply cream concealer all over you lips to achieve a line-less nude lips
- Choose nude colors with a hint of pink/coral to avoid looking too pale
- If not, you can dab a dash of tinted lipgloss
- Keep cheeks fresh and sheer and try not to out-do your eyes
- If you want a more dramatic look, try putting own some bulu mata palsu a.k.a fake lashes
- Remember to moisturise your face really well for this makeup-do because the key is to look fresh and flawless...



Till then, good luck & stay flawless...

  3. Think...Rihanna...:)
    Boleh je guna the same color I've used here but kene balance it up with some brown around the crease.

    For lips, you should add lipgloss with a hint of pink/coral to balance the look with you features.

    Hope this helps!
