Give Me Some Nude Lip

Laura Mercier Milky Way Creme Smooth Lipstick in Milky Way

 This color is a bit too brown-toned for my taste, but the formula is very nice. Good for fair to fair/medium skintones.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Mini Outliner Longwear Lip Pencil in Prim(Rose)

A medium/dark dusty rose; good for skintones from fair to medium/dark.

Nudestix Lip + Cheek Crayon in Whisper

Nars Dolce Vita Lipstick in Dolce Vita

A sheer, shiny lipstick, which could work for any skintone.

Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Namaste Nude

Goes on in a cream/mousse and dries down. Good for fair to medium skintones.



I personally think that only the Nars would be a good natural nude for darker skintones, so keep that in mind. I think it's an especially sheer rosy pink-red that would look amazing on everybody. They're all great shades but will be lighter/more stark on those skintones. I wish they would come out with a set that would be better suited for dark ladies!

I do believe that the Nars lipstick is full-sized, since it's the same size as one of my other Nars lipsticks. The Laura Mercier may be, too. The others are mini but not too mini sizes. It's a great way not only to sample nudes, but the formulas of different products as well.
