The Nude Lip!

Originally the cool and casual effect, the 'Au Naturelle Look' has been revamped to a glamorous a la mode.  Not everyone can pull this off, however.  Sometimes simple can be too much for some, but, here are some ways to make the best of this trend.
RULE 1: only Lady Gaga can pull of a lip color that is lighter than her own skin color, so NEVER EVER choose a color that is too light because you will look ill and it will wash-out the rest of your face. 

The Kim:
This is very light.  Not for everyone, but if you are interested I used Painterly Paint Pot as a base and Turkish Delight Nars lipgloss on top.  

The Blake Lively: This is inspired by the Gossip Girl, so it's slightly more pink.  I used Toché Eclat and Beauty Rush gloss in Bubblegum.  It's more glossy, flirty, and fun. 




The Rihanna:  Best used on darker skin tones, this look was created with a Clinique concieler in a darker color followed by Clinique's Pink Bamboo lipstick. 

The Hudson:  a little more elegant, just like Kate Hudson.  I used Benefits' Bow maker as a definer and liner so the lips didn't completely disappear.  Next, I used foundation in the Mac color Light. 

Be careful!  This look is like Marmite.  The light loves it, or hates it!
