Milky Nude lips with Pupa

Milky Nude lips with Pupa

Hey guys!

I love a nude lip. I think we all do secretly, whether we do it right or not. I am always on the hunt for a new nude lipstick or lip combo. A lip combo is combining colours or products together which help achieve that perfect nude lip. Sometimes it can look harsh, so you need to go that little bit extra just to perfect the look! 

Milky nude is a nude which is extremely light. Almost ghost-like but if done well, it looks good.  I like milky nude lips because it gives off an innocent, young girl vibe...which I am duh!!!! To achieve this look I used a Pupa lipstick (see brand here) which Jacq gave me a swap some time ago. I love this lipstick because it's super moisturising with a glossy finish, which is perfect for the milky look. It's also quite sheer so it doesn't end up looking too harsh on your lips. Because it's sheer, your natural lip colour seeps through to make it look more human than ghost-like. I think when doing a milky nude lip, try to stay away from mattes, or top up with a lipgloss to make it look less harsh. You don't want to look dead so add a bit of life back to it. I team this lipstick with a brown tone lip pencil from NYX, because I'm Asian I want the lipstick to blend well with my brown skin. But, before doing all of that, make sure you moisturise your lips well with a lip balm - my favourite is the Burt's Bees. 

When did I discover Milky nude lips?

Duh of course from the Gyaru queen Tsubasa Masukwaka who has the best milky lips in the world! Her's are a bit more extreme than mine, I think where she is practically white, she can go lighter with her lips. I personally can't do that with my skintone, or I'll just end up looking washed out and dead. Tsubasa has her own line of makeup called Candy Doll. I own one of her lipglosses (again thank you Jacq) which is a milky peach colour. She also owns Dolly Wink...ring any bells??? My all time favourite liquid liner is from Dolly Wink and she also specialises in falsies which I am (and I think Jacq is also) a fan of. I think you can easily use a liquid concealer, and a peach, pink or brown tone lipgloss on top to bring it back to life. I personally don't like concealer on my lips cos it never stays! It just bleeds through so I prefer using a sheer, milky lipstick just to prevent it from looking harsh, and to allow my natural lip colour to add some life back to the look too. Below is how I got on.
