You Won't Believe How Easy It Is To Find Your Perfect Shade!

Hi, I'm Natalie and 80% of my 100 lip products are nude.  I don't know if it's general reluctance to wear anything bright, or sheer stubborness to find the perfect nude for me.  Either way, I have a serious nude stash and it just won't stop growing.

Anyhoo, Wet 'n' Wild launched last week, and as Kellie is on a self-imposed shopping ban, I took one for the team and headed off to check out the range.  10 products (7 of them lip products), a nipple flash and a whopping $46 later and I was ready to go home and play with my new goodies.

Say what?  The ridiculousy cheap haul?  7 new lippies? Oh, right, the nipple flash.  Well how else was I supposed to find my perfect nude lipstick?!

Haha.  AS IF!  No, I do not flip a nip in the middle of the store when lipstick shopping.  But according to some, erm, experts, that's exactly what we should be doing.  Well, maybe not exactly, but in theory anyway.  

Yes ladies, the answer to the eternal quest of 'What is the perfect shade of nude lipstick for me' has in fact been right in front of you (-r boobs) the whole time.

The perfect nude lipstick shade for you is the colour of your nipples.

This bizarre revelation came about on The Doctors (don't judge me, I spend a lot of time online and stuff just pops up).  There wasn't much talk to the theory behind the claim, other than 'nature knows best' and who are we to argue with such logic?

So, in the interests of, well, satisfying my curiosity really, I'm going to put this to the test - but one woman does not an experiment make.  Anyone game to give it a go with me? If it helps Wet 'n' Wild lipsticks start at $3 and there's a varied shade range...so you know, it's not a 'spensy experiment.  And erm, if you get busted for accidental nippage slippage, don't tell them I sent you, Queenie will tell me off.

What do you think?   Are your nipples the key to your perfect nude lipstick?  Does this make sense to you and are you curious like Nat, or do you think this is all a bit odd?  Have you found your perfect nude already?  Does it match your nipples?

Wow I didn't realise that could be the perfect nude for your lips and believe me I struggle finding one god myself but now that I have the tip, it will be easy to find the right shade. I'll be going shopping tomorrow...

Haha now when you walk into your local chemist or other outlet sore you will see women standing around with there books out. What a sight that would be so funny.

Ooh this is such an interesting theory. I just try it, or take swatches then run into the changing room in farmers lol

26th August, 2017

Wow never thought of that! I don't that colour will suit me? Lol

TMI but my nipples are stuck in the 90's Friends era of brown so I'm kinda not loving this idea :)

24th August, 2017

Hahaha don't think I will be trying this out any time soon,might get some strange looks lol

I have heard of matching a shade to your nipple colour but don't feel the need to that though. I just get heaps of different shades of nudes and keep the ones that look the best on my lips.

lol this is a very weird way to find my perfect nude shade. I don't particularly like that shade for my lips, so it's a nope from me haha

12th August, 2017

I will never look at a nude lippy (or another person wearing it) the same again!!!! lol Um nope I am good on that, will stick to other methods for choosing shades :p The girls aren't quite the same since breast feeding either ;)

11th August, 2017

10th August, 2017

Ba ha ha I'm sorry but this just cracked me up but it is so true. I've been searching for the perfect nude lip colour, now I have something to work with lol.

10th August, 2017
