NUDE SUMMER Kylie Jenner Inspired Lips!




Summer Trend.....Easy NUDE or NEUTRAL LIPS, made popular by Lil' Miss Kylie Jenner :)



 I don't want to call this a "TUTORIAL", but I wanted to share what colors *I* use to achieve a NEUTRAL LOOK!

Chain Link Double Connector Midi Rings- TROIS ANNEAUX (Three Rings)

Rings (Midi Gold Crystal Set) FrugalFindsNYC
Lashes- ARDELL in "Natural"
Nails- PACIFICA in "Totally Coral"


MY "NEUTRAL" LIPS Collection:

I HATE when makeup companies use the word "Nude" when describing or marketing a particular lipstick shade or color. As you can see, all of these lip liners are considered "Nude", but nude on MlleCafeAuLait may not look "nude" on everyone and vice versa! These are ALL the neutral lip liner colors I own (not a lot!), ranging from a "nutmeg" brown, to "mauve-y" pink!

As you can see, all are very similar, but there are slight, very minute changes in these swatches. Honestly, I would say MAC "Spice" can be duped with NYX "Ever" and NYX "Natural"......."EVER" usually ends up in my purse as an EMERGENCY LINER :)

Now as far as NEUTRAL LIPSTICKS......I only really own 3 colors (I only swatched these 2 colors since they are the closest to my "Kylie Jenner" Inspiration photos) but I almost always mix my lipsticks anyway. I used to HATE "Nude" or "Neutral" lipsticks (I have ALWAYS worn a BOLD lip!), but when all else fails, you can always mix a WHITE pencil (See video for more info) to lighten up any lipstick :)
Here's the two colors shown in the video:


Both colors shown are from the KAT VON D for SEPHORA "Spellbinding" Lipstick Holiday Set.
