I am not a fan of the traditional nude lip - mostly because I cannot pull the look off myself. This is the unfortunate side effect of being pasty pale.
Breaking away from tradition, I recently decided to try out a different type of nude lip - peach!
One of my favorite Wet-n-Wild lipsticks is from the Megalast line, in shade 903C Just Peachy. This shade is a completely matte light peach color with pink undertones - perfect for spring and summer.
However, the Megalast lip colors can be drying on your lips - so I decided to put a gloss on top of it. The shade I selected is from the Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss collection, in Shade 01 Apricot (I have a mini sample size). This gloss is a matte apricot/peach color, with no shimmer - just glossiness.
Combine the two products together and you get a milky-peach nude lip shade that will be flattering to most skin tones. I wore it this morning to go out to breakfast with my family.
Here are the swatches:

This is what it looks like applied to lips:
Isn't it pretty? I really love this combination; so much so that I am thinking of investing in a full-size tube of the Clinique gloss.
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!
Tomorrow I'll be posting two more things - a haul from this Saturday, and another Combination!
