Lip Colors For Fair Skin
“Love how moisturizing this lipstick is... honestly my lips feel better than when I use a lip balm. Also, the shade is really the perfect nude for my fair skin tone”
pink nude lipsticks
“Such a beautiful nude colour! I got this with 50% off so it was definitely a steal, but very comparable to nyx butter gloss in Madeleine/crème brûlée/ tiramisu (other than the minty feel) these aren’t for plumping your lips in my opinion”
Natural Lip Colors
“This is very very convenient for when you dont feel like full make up but need some color and want that natural look. I use it on my eyes, cheeks and lips”
Good Lip Liners
“i think it’s a little too hyped up. the wear time is good and the color is pretty but it’s a little overpriced for a lip liner. i think mac and nyx make equally great lip liners. ”
Creamy Nude Lipstick
“Very creamy and pigmented, the perfect nude pink for us pale girls”
Must Have Lipsticks
“So, if it was up to me, I would say I love all of the newer shades of the Patrick TA Cosmetics major headlines lipstick and I do, honestly but this shade and color, Seductive, is definitely different than so many colors out there, from so many different brands”
Lip Colors For Pale Skin
“I see a lot of negative reviews, but I think it depends on what your goal is with a lip stain. My lips are extremely pale, and I use this stain as a base under lipstick and/or gloss”
Natural Lip Tints
“I have fair skin and it’s the perfect natural looking blush. I also use it as a lip tint”
