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!

It's so good to see you back on BT again @SDdenm It's a very pretty lip colour on you.

[SDdenm]

Aww thank you!! You will see how delayed my IG posts are compared to here haha @fatimamummy

[Mochapj]

Lovely! Compliments your hijab so well!

[fatimamummy]

Thank you @Mochapj

Oooh So glowy 😍 Flesh 2 is so pretty on you!

[fatimamummy]

Thank you @Anewxa Most of this glow is result of vacuum cleaning whole apartment after wearing makeup 😉

Lovely lip on you @Mochapj!

[fatimamummy]

Very pretty @Mochapj You pull yellow toned shades very nicely. I wish I can make one of these look reasonably good on myself.

[Mochapj]

Thanks @fatimamummy!

i think it may have something to do with me changing my hair color. It looked a lot more jarring on me when I still had brown hair 😊

I love how the formula is sheer enough to be easy-wear, but isn't as slippy as some other sheer formulas can be.

Stila Patina

Love this formula. Does not budge and not as drying as other matte liquid lipsticks to me.

I need more of these, just wish they made all the colours in minis & not a select few just for the holidays...

[SDdenm]

Ahhh Patina is so pretty on you! Funny how different it looks on @lyravega right? On me, Patina looks similar to yours but darker. A little less red and a little more brown. @EvangelineDamon

[lyravega]

Oh, wow, @EvangelineDamon , Patina sure looks soooo much different on you! Can't believe it's the same lipstick! Are you sure it's Patina? 😄

This formula is amazing! One of my fave indestructibles, as I just said in my post above. 😛

I so agree with you about minis! I wish they all would make minis of all their liquid lipsticks ( regular ones, too, why not ), because there is no way I could ever go through a full size. Ever! Feels like such a waste...

Can I post just a half of my lips to show how Patina looks on me? 😄

Spoiler

I only took a photo of it ( so far ) when I was trying it on the first time to see the color on me, and I had a few majorly butchered pimples above my upper lip. Looks really scary, so I cropped it. Sooo...

I do love the color on me.

[fatimamummy]

Patina is stunning on you @EvangelineDamon . I agree with everything you said. I find Stila liquid lipsticks most long lasting. I do need to wear a lip balm u derneath them as these are a bit drying for me on their own but lip balm doesn't effect their longevity. Ditto on the minis of all shades.

[sabrinas]

Wow this is beautiful on you! I agree with @Anewxa that this one looked sorta grey and sad on my lips 😞 Plus I find that Stilas liquid lipsticks flake off on me and look gross after a mere 30 mins, which is a bummer since I own a couple minis and love the colors.
