The UnNude Lip Challenge

[KatieBT]

If you're on BeautyTalk, you're probably well-aware of the nude lip trend and may even own a handful (or three) of these shades. While I love the trend, I still can't seem to find my "perfect nude" so I am very excited to start talking more broadly about UnNudes! UnNude lip shades offer a spectrum from standard nude shades to more bold, neutral shades. These are the mauvy brown, deep chocolate, rose-goldy-earth toned neutral shades and they come in a variety of finishes (matte, metallic, creamy and shiny). 

Here's the challenge: rock an UnNude lip look between Monday, February 6th- Tuesday, February 28th. No requirement on how often to post but I'm going to try for every weekday! 

Keep in mind, this challenge overlaps Valentine's Day so I am also challenging you to change it up by wearing a bold neutral instead of the typical red. (Hint: red is not an UnNude!)

Check the spoiler for examples of some of UnNude shades. Can't wait to see your take on neutral lips!

EDIT: I have changed the timing. This challenge will run through the end of February so keep the UnNude looks coming!

Today's UnNude color is brought to you by Tom Ford's boy "Evan"

I purchased this before reading some not so stellar reviews and I have grown to like it when it's paired with a lip balm or gloss. I applied Yu-Be lip balm prior to applying this lipstick. Wearing this without additional moisture makes my lips look super dry like mudcracks :0

@trishavt oh lovely!! Evan is on the top of my list for my next tom ford lippie! I just keep pushing the date to actually buy it lol.

[jozkid]

Woohoo! Two days in a row! Today is Tom Ford L&B Peter (it's one of the older ones).

[lyravega]

What a perfect color on you, @jozkid ! Love!

[jozkid]

That was fast! Thank you @lyravega!

Today I'm wearing the MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Liquid Matte Lipstick in 101 Cream Beige. I should have exfoliated my dry lips before putting on a liquid lipstick but the formula is surprisingly comfortable. MUFE for the win! 

[Anewxa]

You're a stunner @KatieBT! And whoa those lashes 😍

[PrettyPaint]

What a great neutral! I haven't tried MUFE liquid lips before, but this makes me want to check them out!

@KatieBT Gorgeous girl!

Today's  UnNude lip is a creation of sorts...

YSL liner 06 paired with Marc Jacobs Anais from the nudes collection. The Marc Jacobs just needs a little extra in my opinion of a darker liner underneath to make it really pop and last 

[PrettyPaint]

That looks great on you!

You look like a doll @myumew I was sent Negligee's twin Richard by Sephora and I love it. It is a perfect everyday colour.

[myumew]

Thank you, and yes it's one of my favorites! It's the most flattering nude that I have for my skin tone. 

[txcatx]

Oh, now I want this one!

This is exactly the problem I get into with challenge threads--I want to shop everyone else's beauty collections. 

[Anewxa]

you are not the only one @txcatx - I need all the unnudes now!
