I’ve been really loving a nude lip lately. It started off when I found a pretty nude lip liner in Primark, and has escalated quickly to form a collection of nude lipsticks, glosses and liners.

One of my favourite brands at the moment for lip products is Essence. I found it in my local Wilkinsons, and was immediately thrilled at how a) pretty and b) cheap the products were.

The first lipstick I ever picked up from the Essence counter is my favourite nude lipstick. It’s in the shade “Come Naturally” and is the darkest (I think) of their nude lip selection. I’m wearing it in the photo above – it’s one of those ‘your lips but better’ kind of colours.

I also love the gloss. It’s the more orange-toned swatch on the image. You can wear it over the lipstick or alone for a subtle glossy look.

What are your must-have nude lipsticks?
