The most popular lipstick on Pinterest

And the nudie favorites of the editorial team

Nude lips, it’s a struggle. Of course, you can just as easily apply a bit of Labello or Purol if you want a real nudie color. But that’s not the point when you’re talking about a nice ‘nude’ look on your lips. It still happens far too often that you see girls walking around with a color that’s a bit too light on their lips, in contrast to the natural color of their lips that you actually want to accentuate.
Anyway: this color is popular. Our friends at Pinterest notice this too, because there is one lipstick color that is shared bizarrely often, and that is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. This color has already managed to gather one hundred ninety thousand re-pins. A favorite among the enthusiastic Pinsters, but also a hit among true makeup lovers. Here are a few more favorites of ours from the editorial team for a signature shade of nude.

Liptensity Smoked Salmon, MAC Cosmetics

A favorite of our Adeline. It provides the perfect accent for her already beautiful natural look. It’s just a tad darker than the natural color of her lips; ideal for when you want something, but want to skip red for a day.

Velvet Teddy, MAC Cosmetics

A bestseller from MAC and a favorite of among others Simone and Annabelle. Just for the name, I want to have it.

Brazilian Nude, Victoria Beckham X Estée Lauder

When May and I were in New York last September for Fashion Week, we got a sneak peek of the makeup collection with Estée Lauder. This color went straight onto my wishlist from that moment on, and is now always to be found in my bag.

Moroccan Heat, Victoria Beckham X Estée Lauder

And this one on May’s, which she immediately scored at Bergdorf just before we boarded the plane back to Amsterdam.

Sable Smoke, Tom Ford

Another nudie that you can always find in May’s makeup bag. It’s a kind of light caramel color, nice and creamy, well pigmented, and one that glides easily over the lips.
