5 Drugstore Nude Lipsticks For Your Fall Smoky Eye

Ed. Note: I am busy traveling today, so I asked one of my favorite bloggers, Miranda from Slashed Beauty, to write a guest post for me! I really love this article, and I hope you do, too! ~Brianna

As we start transitioning into fall, you may notice some beauty looks emerging that had been hiding from the dog days of summer. One of my favorite trends? Dramatic smoky eyes, of course! My eyes have always been my favorite part of my face to play up, which is probably why it took me 19 years to actually start wearing lipstick on the regular. Now that I’m pretty much addicted to it, though, I must wear it even when I’m doing an extra sultry eye look!

Enter: the nude lipstick. The “little black dress” of your lipstick collection, a good nude lipstick can go with anything. Think you only need one? Think again. There are so many different type of nude lipsticks that can flatter a range of skin tones. Today, I’m going to share five of my favorite that are straight from the drugstore. Buy one, buy them all… you won’t break the bank doing so!

1. Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Stormy Sahara (From the Buffs Collection)
   This lipstick shade leans dusty-rose with a moisturizing formula that retains a bit of translucency. It has warm undertones and is one of my your-lips-but-better shades. 
2. NYC Expert Last Lipstick in Smooch
   Smooch is a very light pink that can look nude/neutral on lighter skin tones. It’s definitely the most colorful shade on this list, but is subtle enough to compliment your smokey eye. 
3. Jordana Lipstick in Natural Touch
   This cheap thrill is one of my favorite neutrals to reach for! Another one that has a pink flush to it, Natural Touch is a rosy mauve that will add color to the lips without overpowering your face. 
4. Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick in Juicy Peach
   This tinted lip balm packs super moisture for the lips with a very sheer peach shade that contains shimmer. The shade is not bright at all, and really just helps to slightly brighten up the lip (and add sparkle!). 
5. Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle
   If you haven’t jumped on the lip butter train, what are you waiting for? These are sooooo moisturizing with decent pigmentation. Pink Truffle is a sheer mauve color that would work as a nude lip for darker complexions. 

Keep in mind that what might look light a colorful lipstick to you may work out to be a nude on someone with a different skin tone! I hope that at least one of these caught your eye, and can be your new go-to smoky eye companion.
