I often wonder when the beauty industry will call “nude lipsticks” for what they are: beige. I’m guilty of it too, if only by social construction. However, it turns out, my lips are not beige; they are actually almost the same color as my face. So for me, a true nude lipstick is going to be something in the brown category. To acheive this look, I used two lipsticks: Bite Beauty Molasses, which provides the base shade and outstanding moisture, and Power from the L’Oreal x Balmain Collection on top. Here are the results:

Here’s a live action video of the lipstick, and what it truly looks like on me. It was taken in direct sunlight. This is the closest it looks like to my naked eye.
