The Perfect Nude Lipstick

Posted on October 15, 2012March 30, 2020 by Elaine

Another confession: I am relatively new to the world of lipsticks. Before taking on the role as contributor here, I literally never wore lipstick! My go-to lip product was always lip balm with a hint of colour, or lip gloss. Since I’ve been blessed (or cursed?) with naturally plumper lips, I never saw the point…

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk ab A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Still shook over how customizable @kjh.brand Soft Still shook over how customizable @kjh.brand Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek is! 😍 I’m wearing it here as blush, lip color, and several shades of eyeshadow. 

Soft Smudge be matte, shimmer, or glossy depending on how you combine it with other KJH products. And it’s not just the texture that changes - it’s the color as well! 🤯

Getting to play with the re-release of @lancomeofficial #JuicyTubes has been such a fun throwback! ✨ I remember thinking they were the ultimate ~Cool Girl~ makeup product when they first came out and reading about them as a beauty must-have in every magazine (J14 anyone?! 😂) They were basically the “grown up” version of Lip Smackers! 

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy. 

Now excuse me while I reapply Lavender Latte and blast some Britney 👄💿

Do you remember these 00s classics?

Their Date Night special (usually $120, which is still an amazing deal) is only $90 until further notice! 

We had an amazing experience there and left feeling so full and so happy. The chef even made me a special entree (with no advance notice) when I wasn’t able to eat the other options because of my allergies 🥹. Now that’s service!

Real ones know: @kjh.brand IS that girl when it co Real ones know: @kjh.brand IS that girl when it comes to versatile, innovative products with stunning payoff. ✨

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍

Have you tried anything from @kjh.brand yet?

Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️ I truly love the Gang’s all here! 👯‍♀️

I truly love these @milkmakeup Cooling Water Jelly Tints and wear at least one daily on some combo of eyes, lips, and cheeks. The color payoff is 🤯, the longevity is 😍. They’ve got vegan collagen and aloe to plump and soothe skin. 

For an easy, juicy burst of color this summer, grab yours at @sephoracanada! 🌊
