Comet has a milk chocolate tone to it almost with hints of terracotta and red to further warm things up. I’m very fortunate to have found what I believe is my perfect brown in Comet, one of Rimmel’s Show Off Apocolips lip lacquers. Brown can be a hard colour to pull off, especially if you’re pale as the wrong shade of brown or a very dark brown can end up making you look paler than you already are and wash you out. The Brown Nude – Rimmel Cometīrown lips were a popular trend in the 90s and they are making a comeback due to the likes of Kylie Jenner.

I have also read that Asia is a dupe for a few different MAC shades: Twig, Cosmo, Faux and Mehr. This lipstick cost me $10 and the formula is incredible for a drugstore lipstick. Rimmel is one of my favourite brands as the quality always blows me away and the prices are so good. I’m glad to say I was wrong, and I’m even more glad to say I’m happy I purchased Asia. Up until a few months ago I would’ve flat out refused to wear anything with a hint of brown in it because I was convinced those shades didn’t suit me. One of my closest blogging and Twitter friends Claire had talked about this lipstick many times and I just knew I had to try it out. The Pinky/Brown Nude – Rimmel AsiaĪsia by Rimmel is quite a recent addition to my lipstick collection and a product I haven’t talked about on my blog up until now. This finish is one of MAC’s sheerer ones but it doesn’t detract from Patisserie at all and makes it a very wearable everyday shade. I think the reason Patisserie comes out lighter on the lips than in the bullet is due to its’ lustre finish. It comes out more of a light pink on my lips. In the bullet it looks slightly peachy, slightly pink and ever so slightly brown with flecks of gold glitter. To look at Patisserie in the bullet you’d think it would come out darker than what it does on the lips. I promise not all the lip products mentioned in this post are by MAC, in fact this is the last one.

The formula of this lipstick is amazing, it’s very creamy and applies like a dream. I tend to reach for Blankety if I’ve got a lot going on on the rest of my face or if I’m having a more natural looking makeup day.

I’ve selected Blankety by MAC as my true nude because there’s something beautiful about how subtle it looks on the lips. Of course this shouldn’t be the case, you should be able to tell you’ve got lipstick on your lips not foundation.

I define true nude as a shade that looks incredibly pale and almost foundation like. I have put together a selection of my personal favourite nude lip products and broken them down into categories based on their undertones and which shades of nude I believe you should have in your collection. There are a few points to consider: skintone, formula and the colours that make up the undertone of the lipstick. Whether you're looking for a dupe for MAC's Blankety, or looking to swap out your lipsticks for cleaner options, I highly recommend Madeira by Bite Beauty.Hello beautiful people!
