Go neutral with your lippie and opt for one of these subtly gorgeous shades Sirena Bergman @SirenaBergman Thursday 14 June 2018 14:00
 A bold lip definitely has a time and a place, but for most of us scarlet red or deep berry just isn’t what we reach for on a day-to-day basis. Enter the nude lip, the idea being that it’s close enough to a natural lip colour that it doesn’t look out of place at an 8am breakfast meeting. You can opt for a colour that almost exactly matches your natural lip – adding just a bit of definition – or have a bit of extra fun with it, going for a nude orange or brown. With natural make-up having a bit of a cultural moment, there’s no end to the options out there but here are some of the best nude lipsticks on the market. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Very Victoria: ￡24, Charlotte Tilbury  Let’s get this out of the way – it’s not Pillow Talk. The iconic nude from Charlotte Tilbury is a cult classic, worn by beauty lovers from YouTube Lily Pebbles to style guru Alexa Chung. As a result, it’s constantly sold out, but you may be missing a trick by signing up to waiting lists rather than picking up Pillow Talk’s slightly less hyped-up sister, Very Victoria. Don’t be put off by how dark it looks in the bullet, as it comes out a beautiful rosy shade with mauve undertones. But because it is a touch deeper than Pillow Talk, it can be more flattering on a wider range of skin tones, particularly if you struggle with the “corpse look” when wearing more cool-toned lip shades. While the colour is beautiful, it’s really the formula that makes it worth the price: it’s rich and creamy, and completely matte without dragging on the skin when applied or drying down to a flaky, tight feeling. It doesn’t settle into fine lines and it lasts hours (through coffee and lunch if eaten carefully) and when it does start to fade it doesn’t go patchy at all, just seems to magically evaporate evenly. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth the money. MAC Matte Lipstick in Taupe: ￡16.50, Look Fantastic  A close runner-up for the Best Buy, this MAC shade is much warmer-toned, a deep terracotta with brown undertones. Like all MAC Mattes, it’s highly pigmented and goes on opaque at first swipe, drying down fast to a long-lasting, transfer-proof finish which has no shine, and mimics the natural texture of the lips. After a few hours of wear it can start to feel a bit dry though, especially if you reapply, so it’s perhaps not one to wear for 12-hour days if your lips are on the dry side already. The formula across the line is incredibly consistent, so it’s worth going into store and trying out different shades – if you prefer a rosier colour, Mehr is a great option. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 08: ￡5.50, Superdrug  This was one of the first lipsticks Kate Moss collaborated with Rimmel on, and it remains one of the best nudes available on the high street. It’s a muted mauve pink in a highly creamy and pigmented formula, which settles to a satin finish. Despite feeling incredibly comfortable on the lips, it doesn’t smudge easily and can handle a lot of reapplication without looking patchy. The only downside is the scent, which is incredibly sweet and slightly reminiscent of cheap body sprays that were trendy among tweens in the Nineties. That said, it doesn’t linger long and for the price it’s probably worth enduring.
