Lip Stash by Hue: The Nudes

Hi, everyone! For those who have been reading my Lip Stash by Hue posts so far (thank you!), you might be wondering "does this girl wear any lip colours that aren't neon bright?" It's true, I'm all about a vibrant lip, but even I crave a more muted shade now and again. So here they are, the nude lipsticks in my stash! As you'll see, none are your typical matte, concealer-lips sorts of formulas. Instead, most have a satin or glossy finish that renders the nude hue more wearable. Matte nudes tend to really wash me out, so I need a bit of shine! The shades range from soft milky pink to tawny browns with some super soft corals and plums in between. Check 'em out! 

Here are the lighter, more classic nudes in my stash:

Julep Lip Vernis in Camellia (discontinued)

Annabelle Twist Up Metal Mix in Nude of Fame

Hourglass High Shine Lip Gloss in Child

Hard Candy Painted Lady Lip Colour in Perfect 10 (discontinued)

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy

YSL Glossy Stain in Beige Anarchist

And the darker, more coral and brown nudes in my collection:

MAC Lustre Lipstick in Viva Glam V

MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Modesty

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Descanso (limited edition)

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Memento

Nudestix Lip + Cheek Pencil in Mystic

Revlon ColourBurst Lipstick in Rosy Nude (discontinued)

And here are the lip colours all lined up, followed by swatches of each in the same order:

So there we have it! Proof that even the most vibrant of girls can go nude. It's true that I don't reach for these shades all the time, but many of them do hold a special place in my heart. Viva Glam V was my first-ever MAC lipstick (this is my second tube), Hard Candy Perfect 10 may be my favourite nude lipstick of all-time (and is sadly discontinued), Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy never fails to make me feel ultra sophisticated, and YSL Beige Anarchist goes with any makeup look. Literally. I'm glad this post jogged my memory about how fab some of these nudes really are!

Am I tempting you with any of these? What are your go-to nude lipsticks?
