Nude Lips

I've never been one for wearing a strong colour on my lips and I think it all stems back to an old boyfriend telling me I looked "messy" when I attempted to wear a slightly too orangey red one evening.  Scarred for life I was!  I have a juicy pair of lips truth be told...not in the Angie Jolie camp mind you, but hardly in the Dot Cotton camp either so I could carry off a bold lip if I wanted.  However, I favour the less is more look when it comes to lips.  Think Kim Kardashian and that's what I'm after.  You would think it's easy enough to get this look but it's not.  There are so many good nude lipsticks and glosses on the market but they vary in colour, pigment and texture.  Then you have to consider your own natural lip colour.  I would be more pinky than reddy so I need a peachy toned nude to achieve the look I want.  At the moment I'm using Faces lipstick in Joanna.  At first glance it looks super salmony peach but when you put it on especially with a brown toned lipliner such as Oak by Mac you get a muted, nude lip.  I'm also using Soap and Glory's Sexy Motherpucker lipgloss over this as it's super shiny and lasts ages.  It's a plumper lipgloss and your lips will tingle like a bad thing for about 5 minutes after application.  I've a list as long as my arm of nudes I've tried but so far, I'm liking this combo.
