Re: Anyone else over the nude and neutral craze ?

I consider the lavender shade of Urban Decay shadow I use regularly, pretty much a neutral shade. It blends with my coloring quite well.

Xena- I've used Bobbi Brown's grey shades from her palettes, but couldn't tell you the names off the bat. I've never even tried a green shadow! As I recall you have beautiful blue eyes.

The best advice I ever heard on "nude" lips was from Wayne Goss- he said that you should wear a color that is close to your natural lip color. So for me that is a mauve pink color. That is a flattering nude look. The lighter lips brown or gold tone nudes look great on women with warm olive toned skin or darker - think Jennifer Lopez. She looks amazing that way but if you put the same lip color on Anne Hathaway it would look like her lips were erased. (sadly I don't look like either of those lovely ladies)

And yes - I just buy the browns that I need and move on - it looks like plums are in a lot of collections this fall (YAY!)

I disagree about lip color. My lips are rather pale, so I need COLOR.

Whenever I see a woman with "nude" lips, I want to yell "you would look so much better with some COLOR!"

I am fine with any shade of eyeshadow, etc. But, lips should have color for most people.

Re: Anyone else over the nude and neutral craze ?

I'm blonde and fair as well and would like the tones be in richer tans, browns and creams otherwise I look like Casper. I do love the classic lighter colors, I'm drawn to them, but I can tell you that I'm SICK SICK of animal prints!! I have all I need, am getting rid of some of the older ones and do NOT want any more. I don't want it mixed with florals or other prints, I'm SO over animal prints. Now I want some jewel tones with a fun pattern like paisley or ikat prints....

But the poster said that she wears a mauve pink color. To me, that's not really a nude color. I guess I think of nude colors as being more on the very light beige side.

Never been a fan. I have dark hair and eyes and neutrals just disappear on me.

Re: Anyone else over the nude and neutral craze ?

I am a fair skinned brunette with hazel eyes. (My loving children have likened me to a vampire.) I cannot pull off a nude lip, I look washed-out & ill. Not the look I'm going for. On the flip side, I can't pull off a dark lip color either - too harsh. I prefer rosy pink, and peaches. I have to be very careful with reds, and only rarely wear them, with a gloss on top.

Do the math.
