As a big fan of the smoky eyes look I’m always on the lookout for a complementary nude lipstick that will add a little something extra without being over the top. As a women of colour many nude lipsticks just don’t work for me. They either leave me looking like I’m suffering from hypothermia or like my lips have disappeared, neither of which are good looks on me. For me MAC Hug Me was a revelation, it’s the perfect nude for darker skin tones. It’s a pinkish dark beige colour that just lifts my complexion while still looking subtle and demure. The Lustre finish is shiny and slightly sheer which makes it easier to wear with a smoky eye. It is also very moisturizing which reduces the wear time to about 3-4 hours but doesn’t leave my lips dry or chapped. I highly recommend this lipstick to women of all colours.
