Beauty Bandit: All About the Nude Lip!

Nude lips. The versatile look that every girl needs in her beauty arsenal. This look is so easy to rock and even easier to dress up or dress down. You can take your look from day to night, no sweat! By pairing this look with a little mascara and bronzer, you will be looking oh, so chic and effortless. Pair it with a smokey eye and you will be ready for a night out on the town with your girlfriends. You can even pull off a fab mod-inspired look by pairing the nude lip with a strong cat eye and a light dusting of blush.

A few key tips every girl should know before rocking this killer look. Make sure your lips are in tip, top conditioned shape. Use this DIY plumping scrub via Poppy Juice to achieve an amazing moisturized pout. Mix 1 tsp of ground cinammon, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and 1 tbsp of sugar. Now that your lips are looking luscious, apply a little concealer and blend all over your lips to cancel out any natural color. This will insure the true nude will pop on your pout. Lastly, be sure to steer clear of nudes that are too light for your skin tone. You can run the risk of looking washed out or dead. When in doubt, dab a little gloss over your lipstick.

Here are a few of my all time favorite nudes that won't break the bank:
