GUYS. I’m SO excited to be doing some Buxom Lip Swatches today. It has been a HOT FREAKING SECOND since I’ve done actual beauty content on my site (outside of this year’s #50daysofmakeup). It’s so funny to think about how my blog and IG page have changed since Jack was born last summer – I used to do tutorials once a week and try new makeup products CONSTANTLY. I’m so sorry if you are sad that content isn’t as prevalent these days but here’s the thing: I have to stay true to where I am at in life and right now – I’m chasing a toddler and trying to live a less wasteful life. So buying hundreds of dollars of makeup a month just isn’t in the cards for me anymore. Also, we all wear masks now. So. There’s that.
That all being said, makeup has been and I am sure always will be something I LOVE and am excited to share with you. It just looks a little different these days. 😉 ANYWAYS. I saw the 90s nude trend start popping back up a few weeks ago, and I knew I wanted to try to get in on it. It’s wearable, chic and works with any skin type and shade. Let’s dive into it.
90s Nude Trend for Thanksgiving: Buxom Lip Swatches

CREAM LIPSTICK SWATCHES

This color is really beautiful and the best “true nude” on me. It is still a LITTLE warm for what I typically go for in a nude lipstick – however, it’s PERFECT for fall. I’d pair this with a dramatic brown smokey eye.
Dreamboat is a very true brown – and it’s GORGEOUS. This is dark on me (I’m pretty fair) and looks very vampy and dramatic. I would pair this with a neutral eye with mascara only.
This is a rosy nude – it’s very universally flattering. I love that it compliments the natural tones of my lips. It’s got a warm rosy vibe to it. I would pair this with a dramatic cat eye.
This one is almost red on me! I pull very warm/rosy naturally, so the red tones in this lipstick are LOUD on me. It’s got brown undertones to go with the red and this would look stunning with a shimmery smoked out eye.
This is probably my least favorite of the batch. It’s the lightest shade, but it almost pulls peach on me vs a nice nude. It would probably work a lot better on someone with an olive skintone to pull the yellow tones out.
OBSESSED is an understatement. This is the darkest shade in the collection, but it looks SO good on fair skin. It’s even vampier than dreamboat, and would look killer with a graphic liner.
GLOSS SWATCHES

This shade goes beautifully with the lipstick “supermodel”. It’s that warm, rose tone with a super high shine.
This one is a LOT more pink that PSL – still warm and rosy but with a much lighter, pinker tone.
This is my favorite gloss from this collection! It’s INSANELY glittery and pairs beautifully on top of the lipstick “popstar” as a glitter lip topper.
This is more metallic than glitter and is also very 90s-esque! I prefer the other glosses to this one, but it makes a very pretty shimmer!

Which shade is your favorite?! Let me know in the comments below!
