My Favorite Nude & Mauve Lippies!

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday!  I LOVE NUDE AND MAUVE LIP COLORS.  This is old news, but because my collection of nudes and mauves is so extensive, I thought I'd share my top ten favorite lippies.  I've mentioned most of these lippies in previous posts, but if you want to read more about why I love each one, keep reading!  You'll soon realize that I have quite a taste for cream/liquid lippies and NYX Cosmetics lol.  So in no particular order, these are my favorites!

(I also tried to find photos of me wearing each lippie but I'm not that great at remembering to take selfies, so only a few of the colors have my face with them, but do ya really care about that?)

- NYX Lingerie in Bedtime Flirt

Described as a "red toned pink" on the NYX website, this liquid lip color has been my every day color since I got it a couple months ago.  It's pretty long-wearing, but like most lip colors, won't stand up to oily foods or big bowls of spaghetti.  I love that this lippie is a MLBB (my lips but better) color which makes it perfect for every day.  It's great for days when you want to go natural, however, the formula can be a little drying, so exfoliate them lips before you apply this!  The Lingerie line is all nude colors, so if this one isn't for you, check out the other colors they offer, because there's something for everyone!

- NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Soft-Spoken

The description of this color says it all - "mauve nude".  I also mentioned this lippie in my March Obsessions and I still love it.  This formula is super light and almost feels like you're not wearing any lip product.  It's perfect for the days when you don't want your basic nude lip, but something that'll make your lips pop without stepping out of the nude/mauve lines.  Like the Lingerie, it's a lasting formula but won't stand up to oily foods or spaghetti.  It's still a great color for every day and compliments any complexion.  I haven't met someone who doesn't look good in this color.

- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Rome

You're probably looking at the photo of Rome and thinking that it looks exactly the same as the previous lippie and you aren't wrong about the photos, but on the lips and in the swatches it's a different story.  This "medium nude with red undertones" is definitely more red toned.  I actually wore this color all day today and a few people told me they loved it!  The soft matte lip cream line is my absolute favorite because they're super soft on and every color is different.  I probably have like half of the colors.

- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes

Cannes is my OG favorite.  I wore it every day senior year paired with another lippie that I will talk about later.  On the NYX website it's described as a "matte muted mauve" but I feel like it's more of a pink mauve, rather than a muted mauve.  It seemed like everyone was just as obsessed with Cannes as I was and although the rave has slowly died down, I still go back to this lip color quite often.  It compliments my light complexion well and is a really easy color to wear - it literally goes with any makeup look.

- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm 

Stockholm is described as a "mid-tone beige pink" on the NYX website, but I definitely categorize this as a nude, not a pink.  It's the closest color you'll find to a "true nude" in my lipstick collection and I absolutely love it.  I used to be a huge L'Oreal Fairest Nude fan, just like everyone else, but I've only been reaching for Stockholm since I got it, when I want something more nude.  I love that this nude doesn't wash me out, because I'm already super pale.  It compliments a smoky eye like no other. If you have a paler complexion, definitely give Stockholm a try!

- Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita

I'm sure I've raved about Lolita multiple times already, but I just couldn't leave it off this list.  I wear it at least once a week and get compliments every time I do.  I didn't feel like this "chestnut rose" lip color worked for me at first, but once I got used to it, I wore it everyday until I got a new lip color. This lipstick never fails me.  It passes the oily foods test and the spaghetti test with flying colors every time.  The only downside is that like most liquid and cream lipsticks, it'll emphasize every crack if your lips are dry, but nothing a little exfoliating and lip balm can't fix!

- Urban Decay Sheer Revolution Lipstick in Rapture

Urban Decay's original Revolution lipstick in Rapture is one of my holy grail colors, and when I saw that they made a sheer version, I was a little skeptical.  I got this lipstick at Ulta when it was one of their beauty steals and I was taken.  I never thought I'd like sheer anything, but this lipstick changed me.  Since Rapture is one of my HG's, it was fated that I love this too.  It's a little more natural and more wearable for everyday.  It's a "sheer dusty rose" so it's on the more mauve-y end of the spectrum and y'all know how I love my mauves.  If you're looking for a good everyday lipstick that has a little more color to it, definitely check this one out!

- Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss in 104

Like Cannes, I used to wear this every day of my senior year of high school and even paired the two together sometimes.  To this day I still love this lipstick so much and often find myself reaching for it when I need a lip color that will go with anything.  It's a mauve rose, two of my favorite things, and it definitely has a lasting formula when set correctly.  This lipstick is super affordable but really hard to find because so many other people love it as well.  You'll definitely find me sporting this color at least once a week.

- NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Natural

The one and only lip liner I wear and absolutely love is this NYX one in Natural.  I pair is with most of the lippies on this list, including but not limited to Cannes, Lolita, and Kate 104.  I've worn it a couple times by myself, but I prefer it with another lip color on top.  It's not drying like a lot of other lip liners.  Natural is a "deep-tone beige" you can use it to vamp up a lighter lip shade, or use it as a base for any lip color since it's a more natural color.  If you're looking for a lip liner that you can wear with virtually any lip colors, give Natural a try!

Here is a cute little chart each lip color I mentioned! (Rapture and Kate 104 got switched around in the flash row, sorry!)

And those are my top ten favorite nude and mauve lip colors!  If you love any of the lip products I mentioned or have a new nude or mauve to suggest, leave them in the comments!  There's always room in my makeup collection for more of anything!

Thanks for reading!

Love, Cat <3
