As much as I've been wearing red lips lately, a nude lip is still my favorite.  Lately I've been experimenting, and I think I've arrived at a universally flattering nude lip.  It starts with Rosebud Salve.  I then layer on Bare Escentuals Maple Syrup lip color cover with their Glazed Donut lip gloss.

It doesn't have quite enough color for my lips which have lost some of their natural color.

But it's still a nice sheer to wear while running errands.

The slight sparkle of the gloss comes across better on Natalie.



But it's subtle enough for Ariana to wear with out looking like she has more than her regular gloss on.


It's a good natural look for all ages.
