Work a Nude Lip Like Kim Kardashian

Nude lips are an easy breezy look to carry off for the makeup maven or the makeup minimalist for Spring 2009. You can wear a nude lip if you are a brunette like Kim Kardashian (known for her smokey eye look paired with a glossy nude lip), blonde like Heidi Klum, or red head beauty Kate Walsh.

In my opinion, the best nude lip is a glossy one or at least semi-glossy. Very few people can pull off a matte nude lip, it's more of an editorial look than an everyday look. So go with a nude gloss like Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Lip Gloss in Lover ($12) or a wonderful hydrating lipstick like Too Faced Lip of Luxury lipstick in Totally Nude ($18). This lipstick has shea butter in it and seriously feels so smooth and satiny when applied to your lips. You will want to put it on all day. And it has a very fancy tube with a jewel on top, which makes it even more fun to apply ;-) Another great nude lipstick option is Nars' Belle De Jour ($24) that is a pretty sheer approach to nude.

Too finish out your look, just be sure to wear a good peachy-pink blush to keep you from looking super washed out. That way you can keep the eyes simple or dramatic, whatever you're feeling, as long as the cheeks are colorful it'll keep you looking brighter!! So Go Nude!!
