Jennifer Lopez Master Of The Nude Lip: Can You Wear It + Look Alive?

Let's face it.....Nude lips are gorgeous if you can find the perfect, nude shade that doesn't allow you to look like you're at death's door.

Beautiful beige lips are HOT for Fall 2015.  The color was ALL over the runways....Burberry, Prada and so on.... 

Jennifer Lopez is one celebrity who has mastered the nude lip flawlessly. Found these on her Instagram page. She wears the nude lip so well.



So, how do you wear the nude lip and still look ALIVE?

We found some beauty help at the NYTimes.com. Seriously.

Yes, under Fashion & Style, they gave advice. Really.

Celeb makeup artist Troy Surratt told the NY Times.com this about nude lipstick success:

......There’s the matte nude, “which reads cadaver,” Mr. Surratt said. Go too pasty, where “the nude doesn’t have enough contrast between the skin surrounding your mouth, and you get mannequin mouth.”

Yikes,

Troy says to buy a creamy lipstick with opacity:

.....“You need the pigment to cover your own natural lip color, which is why most glosses don’t work,” he said. (After trying several brands, I’ve found I like the Nars Audacious formula, which is richly pigmented yet doesn’t settle in fine lip lines.)


NARS Audacious Lipstick seen here in shade Raquel. is NOT cheap at $32 a tube, but the quality is exceptional according to many makeup pros. Check them out here.

Troy Surratt will be launching his OWN nude lip-crayon collection later this March.

Meantime, experiment with NUDES, until you nail the right one.
