PICKING THE PERFECT NUDE LIP

Ladies having a nude lipstick, and lipgloss are makeup essentials. Bobbi Brown named queen of the nude lips has a few great tips in helping you find the perfect nude lip for your complexion.
" A nude lip is the perfect company for heavy eye makeup, or a simple natural look.  "Nude" is defined by the persons skin tone."
Bobbi Brown has a great selection of nude lip colors

TIPS
1. Make sure lips are properly exfoliated and moisturized
2. Add some color to your face so that you will not look washed out, blush and a poppin eye color will be great.
3. Stay within 2 shades of your complexion to achieve the best look.

NEW SPRING 2010 PRODUCTS

CHECK OUT THIS ARTICLE ON TOM FORD'S NEW LIPSTICK LINE. I LOVE TOM FORD, FROM HIS STUFF WITH GUCCI TO HIS OWN BRAND. I ACTUALLY LIKE HIS GUY SHADES FOR ME BETTER THAN THE LADIES SHADES. CANT WAIT TIL JUNE 1 TO PICK UP ONE OF HIS FAB LIPSTICKS AT NEIMAN MARCUS OR SAKS FIFTH AVENUE. THEY ARE A LITTLE PRICEY AT $45 EACH, BUT IT DOESNT HURT TO HAVE A FEW PRICEY ITEMS IN YOUR COLLECTION!!!

Tom Ford Does Lipstick

The designer-turned-perfumer-turned-movie-director can now add "makeup artist" (well, sort of) to his resumé, as his Private Blend Lip Color Collection, a line of 12 lipsticks, debuts at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue on June 1. Each tube is $45, which isn't cheap by any lipstick standard, but here's why we love them: These little babies are pigment-rich, so a little goes a long way. There's an array of pretty, flattering reds, nudes, and pinks. They're semimatte, but feel creamy going on and don't dry out your mouth, thanks to murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil. And the cases? Oh the cases. They look like tiny, chic, white lacquered boxes with gold trim—they're heavier than your average lipstick, so they feel special and substantial.

Since I am loving all things plum and berry right now as I plan the makeup-trend stories for our fall issues, if I had to choose just one of the TF shades, I'd go for Moroccan Rouge—a deep plum-berry that'll give you the cool stained-lips look from the Proenza Schouler fall fashion show. The color also looks fresh and unexpected on a summer evening. (You'll have to wait till June 1 to check that one out!) It'll also dazzle your friends and coworkers: One of mine just stopped by my office—me, at computer, full-on Moroccan Rouge-d—and said she was "mesmerized" by my lips. (If you're not a bold-lipstick type, try Pink Dusk instead—it's the bottom one shown here.)

SUMMER LIP GLOSS SELECTIONS

With so many brands out there, you can find your perfect color from multiple lines. I always suggest getting a lipgloss and lipstick, some of you may feel that lipstick is for your grandmother but grandma sometimes knows best. Lipstick last longer than gloss that you have to continuously re-apply. I always add a little gloss to my lipstick for added shine. Below you will find some brands that I like, for my budget friendly beautinistas like myself you will not go wrong with Loreal www.lorealparisusa.com!!!
