Top 5 Nude Lipsticks for Medium Skintones

My lipstick collection is filled with 90% nudes and the rest are the odd red or pink shade. What can I say? I love a good nude lipstick and I feel like I have to add, they're all different! They are either different formulas or different tones. I thought I would round up my top 5 today and talk you through them...I have titled this post for medium skin but I think there is something for everyone in this post.

Huda Beauty Throwback

This is the lightest nude of them all, very much more of a peachy pink. I love the formula of these HB bullet lipsticks, creamy, pigmented and wear well throughout the day. I can only wear with shade with a darker lip liner underneath otherwise it looks horrific, but many liners that I have tried including Huda Beauty ones look amazing and the lipstick pairs so well with them all.

MAC Velvet Teddy

A classic nude lipstick that I know so many people love. I found it hard to choose between this Honey Love and Mehr - they are all incredible nude lipsticks. MAC is great when it comes to finding the perfect lipstick shade as they have a variety of undertones, shades and finishes. I love Velvet Teddy paired with a lip gloss or on its own, its perfect for everyday. 

Fenty Uncuffed

Liquid lipsticks are great to wear when the formula is long lasting and pigmented, Fenty Beauty does this and more! They have the most gorgeous shades and this lightweight, super pigmented lipstick is probably my most worn day and night shade. I know that if I apply this in the morning it will still be there in the evening, no cracking or flaking. I'm getting towards the end of this now and it breaks my heart because it is so beautiful! 

Wet N Wild Mocha-licious

The cheapest of the bunch (only £3) and the darkest. I keep Mocha-licious in my car, so its there for when I forget to apply anything when at home or if I need a top up. Its great to apply really quickly and it super matte - which I love in a lipstick. It has a very cool undertone and would suit medium skin tones amazingly well.  

NYX Sandstorm

I bought this NYX liquid lipstick on a random shop when in Boots, the shade reminds me of a Kat Von D lipstick I used to own a few years back. The formula of these aren't the best, they tend to crack away during the day/ when you have food ect but it reapplies really well and looks gorgeous.

They're all pretty similar but different in their own way.... right?!

Photo Diary - Indian Wedding

 

A few weeks ago it was my cousins wedding, and I had so many ideas to do another FOTD post or OOTD post, but time got the better of me and I didn't have time to take as many pictures of me during the whole weekend. But, I thought it might be a nice idea to do a photo diary style post and show you all the pictures from the wedding, what happens and what goes on in a snapshot. The pictures start at the Mendhi/Henna Party and then to the wedding, so many outfits, jewellery, bangles and mess over the weekend! Hope you enjoy!!

Can't Get Enough Of: Kaushal Beauty

It has been on my mind forever to write posts about current favourite blogs and videos, but whittling it down to the top 5 or top 10 is very hard, instead I am just going to be picking one every so often and dedicating a whole post to them. This post is purely dedicated to Kaushal a vlogger and blogger that goes by the name 'Kaushal Beauty', she posts a variety of makeup tutorials, hair tutorials and hauls. You watch one video of her's and instantly fall in love with everything about her...

1. She's an Indian just like me, and we Indians have a mutual bond because the things we say are very relate able. I love that she posts GRWM for Indian weddings, as I am always struggling on how to do my makeup most recently I was inspired by this one! I loved her makeup, even though I couldn't recreate it perfectly, I tried my very best!

2. She is the contouring queen! Contouring, highlighting all that jazz goes in one ear and out the other for me, something that I just can't seem to get my head around no matter how many videos or blog posts I read. Kaushal on the other hand, I seem to be able to learn from, maybe it is because of her gentle voice and simple steps which makes it easier for you to understand. She also uses a lot of budget friendly products like the Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow in delicious, who would have ever thought that you can use eye shadow to contour, but it bloody works! I would highly recommend watching this video and you will ask no more question ever again. 

3. Her positivity is insane! I also follow her on twitter (such a stalker I know!) and every day the first tweet that she tweets is a positive thought/feeling and it amazes me that everything she says is 100% true and something we should stick by.

4. She also recently did an interview on BBC Asian Network, and when I heard it on the radio a part of me screamed a little. You can listen to it here and find out more about her, her thoughts on everything to do with life and just have a little laugh!


5. She is just all around amazing, I watch every single video of hers and it puts a big big smile on my face and not a lot of vloggers manage to do that. I highly recommend you check out her links below, but a warning you will be hooked straight away.  Kaushal goes into my category of 'underrated people on the internet' people who aren't given enough credit for what they do and also someone who isn't bothered about the numbers and loves what she does!
