It is #BEAUTYMONDAY so HOLLAH! It is NO secret that I love love love beauty monday. I get so excited to come up with new items for all of you to enjoy and learn from because makeup is seriously one of my biggest passions. One of the biggest trends of the last year or so has been perfecting the nude lip. Apparently, it isn’t enough to just go bare with your lips, we must now get our hands on the perfect shade of your-lips-but-better. I’m not even mad. Let’s dive into the best of nude lipsticks take one: 


The Best of Nude Lipsticks

These are The Best of Nude Lipsticks I am going to be reviewing for you today:

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Caramello

I looooove this color. It is more of a cool toned white nude than anything else. Super pigmented, and dries down incredibly matte. It is easy to apply and unless you are eating something super greasy, it isn’t going anywhere all day long.

Tarte Tarteist Matte Lip Cream in Birthday Suit

I love everything Tarte. Ya’ll already know. I don’t think I need to explain why this is so amazing but in case you are NEW to the show, here’s the deal. Tarte’s matte lip creams are the BOMB. This one was a limited edition birthday gift, but I think the one I linked is a super close match. It stays on all day, doesn’t dry out my lips and is perfectly kissable. This shade is a cool-toned matte.

Tarte Tarteist Liquid Lip Gloss in Nude Beach

I’ve been straying away from the mattes lately because it is more practical for me to have something that will fade off while I’m at work during the day. I have been reaching for this gloss time and time again lately. It is a warm-toned peachy nude that flatters my super pale skin really well. 10/10. Plus I LOVE the wand.

The Best of Nude Lipsticks

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss in Kristen

This gloss was bought on a whim, but I’m glad I caved. This color is VERY cool-toned and would look great if I had a little bit of a tan. The gloss fades nicely for the most part but does feather if not set with a pencil first. I love the pigmentation of it. 

Milani Matte Lip Cream in Adorable

This one is kind of a hit or miss, but I felt I should mention it because the nude color is amazing. It WILL dry out your lips while wearing it. I’m talking Sahara desert. If you are someone who doesn’t mind that, go for it! This is definitely a white-based, cool-toned nude that would match a lighter skin tone really well!

The Best of Nude Lipsticks

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color in Seduction

This is the first nude lipstick I bought for a looooong time a few months ago. I always tried to stay away from nudes because I was on a BIG bold lipstick kick. However: it is matte, it stays MOSTLY all day and it has a rosy undertone. Beware however, the longer it stays on your lips without reapplication, the “pinker” the lipstick turns. I always reapply a few times through out the day to keep the “nude” look.

Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Nude Blush + Pink Tea

Ya’ll know I love the Sephora cream lip stains. I was graciously gifted the entire 40 lipstick set in January and have been going through and wearing all my favorites. These two have stolen my heart from the nude selection. They are both fairly cool-toned. Pink Tea is a little rosier than Nude Blush, but both are ultra flattering. (ALSO not drying FYI)

The Best of Nude Lipsticks

Honorable Mention (not pictured because I added it after the fact like a FOOL): TooFaced Cream Lipstick in Sugar Daddy 

THIS. I cannot BELIEVE I left this off my original list. I am literally kicking myself. This is a cream lipstick that comes in a stick, not a tube. It is GORGEOUS. By far one of my favorite nudes to wear. It fades beautifully, it looks amazing on just about every skin tone and it doesn’t feather. AKA this is the perfect nude and I forgot about it until like 20 minutes ago as I was going through my lipstick drawer. #classictay


Okay, okay. So there you have it! The Best of Nude Lipsticks! I love nude lipsticks, and am really glad pigmented glosses are starting to make their comeback. While the super matte lip creams are still hot (and I love them), it is nice to wear something that will fade during the day instead of crumbling off. 

Do you have a GO-TO nude lipstick not on this list that I need to try ASAP? Let me know in the comments below!

  1. Love love that you swatched them! I have a few of the Revlon ones in more summery shades, but need this nude!

  2. Awesome review… I’m a bit of a lippie addict and nudes are my fave as well, so found my old faves and some new ones to try LOVE it. xoxo Robin

  3. Of the ones shown on your hand, I like the 2nd and 7th ones the best! I’ve been searching for a new nude lipstick and will have to check those ones out 🙂

  4. Thank you for the honest line up. I am always looking for a nude and read blogs like this all the time and the writer always says the positive, not the negatives. I LOVE matte lips but hate the dryness. There are very few formulas out there that can do both. Cheers!

  5. I have never been a fan of lipstick, I don’t like the stickiness or that it smears. But these nude lipsticks might be worth trying to see if I can enjoy adding more than chapstick to my lips. Thanks for showing all the options you did, I saw a few colors that I do like…hopefully they look good on me.

  6. Love these shades. I prefer nude lipsticks over bright, bold colors. Will have to check these out.

  7. I’m totally going to try some of these when I can! I love nudes because I’m a really laid-back, low-maintenance type of girl, so I don’t usually go all out with makeup (although I can ROCK a bold lip like it’s nobody’s business) – which means that when I DO wear makeup, people tend to ask me what I’m so “dressed up” for. It makes me crazy! So all that to say this: I love that I can wear a nude and feel the girlification of wearing lipstick, WITHOUT the hassle of explaining that, “I just felt like wearing it today.”

  8. I love this post, I’m not a lipstick person. But I don’t like to go out with nothing on my lips I mean chapstick and etc yea, but then I look pale. SO hence why I love nude lipsticks they are the perfect color not too bright but enough to give you color.

  9. I have been looking for a nude lipstick that I really like. I thought about getting the Tarte one that you mention, but just didn’t. Maybe I’ll go back to Sephora and pick up a tube!

  10. These are all great shades! I love nude with a little hint of pink, not too obvious but it’s there. It feels more girly that way. Thanks for reviewing these!

  11. I LOVE nude beach from Tarte! It’s sooo good! I love your picks, neutrals are my favorite so I need to try some of these!!

  12. Ahh I am so obsessed with nude lip colours, can’t help hoarding them! Caramel tones seem to work beautifully on warmer skin tones like mine… though I’m loving some of the dusty pinks featured here. Beautiful blog too, would love it if you could stop by to check out mine, any advice is appreciated 🙂 xx
