beauty in the nude

I am obsessed with my big lips. When I was 7, a boy who lived down the street from me told me that my lips were so big, they looked like 2 polar bears on top of each other. I ran home and cried to my mom, who told me that one day I would be thankful for my ample kissers. Well she was right! Today, amidst a collagen-happy world, I am proud to say that I will never need any lip injections on these bee-stung smackers.

I am all about nude lips this spring. I like to keep it minimal like almost everything else in life. Sometimes a bright lipstick can really clutter up a face (read Cristina A.) unless you wear little to no makeup. I choose to wear makeup, have my eyes and brows accentuated and keep the lips a perfect shade of neutral nude. Here are two of my favorites and standards for the perfect nude lip. And terrific for all seasons!


Honolulu Honey lipstick by Nars. The perfect nude shade for me. Worn best with a suntan!



Turkish Delight gloss by Nars. One of my favorite lipglosses ever made! Seriously, this gloss makes me look like I just made out with liquid pink caramel for an hour. Looks like candy on your lips! Also, I would now like to add that I was way totally into Turkish Delight waaaaay before Kim Kar-what's-her-face made the shade famous. That is all!
