Nia long is my celebrity makeup inspiration for the nude lip. Ms. Mosley has pulled this look off on several occassions for some time now. Me and my bff have tried several lip sticks, glosses, concealer tricks, and none have given us the look we were aiming for. A couple of weeks ago I told her somebody has got to know what lipstick Nia Long is wearing! I was determined to find an answer and beauty blogger, Danielle of the Style and Beauty Doctor helped me find the perfect lipstick by Bobbi Brown.
Nia Long has a natural beauty about herself. Her makeup is usually very natural looking. She pulls of the “nude” lip look so well that I decided to give it a try. To achieve this look you will need a few basic items: lip balm, lip pencil, liquid concealer, and a lightly colored gloss that compliments your skin tone. This is what I did. First I prepped the lips using moisturizer or lip balm. My personal favorite is Mary Kay Satin Lips Lip Balm. Next, I lightly lined the lips with Mac BBQ lip pencil. Then I used Mac Select Moisture Cover moisturizing concealer in a tube with built-in applicator, very much like your typical lip gloss. I used concealer to create an even malette on my lips. Lastly, I layered Mac Lipgelee Jellybabe on top to create the “Nude Lip” look.
