MUA has certainly been my holy grail over these past few months. I have been wanting to try out products and colours out of my comfort zone but refuse to pay £15 for a purple or nude lipstick from MAC when I might not even suit it. So this is where I turned to MUA. I wanted to try out a nude lipliner and MUA was ready and waiting with a product called 'Nougat Caramel' and it is amazing.. especially for £1!
I thought it would be a good idea to try out the MUA lipstick in shade 14 - Bare, as I already have shade 11 and it is a gorgeous creamy consistency, stays put for around 3/4 hours and is extremely pigmented.
It also has a light smell of vanilla. I can not stress enough that the colouring for this nude is amazing. Even though it is quite a light nude colour, it does not look like 'concealer lips' which I had been worried about for a long time whilst looking for a nude colour. As I am also very pale, I was delighted to see that this did not drain my face. It is not matte, but it is also not shimmery.
It isn't much of a statement nude and if that's what you are looking for, I don't think this product is for you. It is a very light, natural nude with a slight hint of brown. I am very thankful that this does not set in the dry patches of my lips as I do suffer from quite dry lips but this lipstick is incredibly moisturising. A big part of the packaging for me is that it comes with a twisty pot at the end of the lipstick which you can use your fingers for a subtle wash of colour or use a brush to line your lips with.
Whilst I do love this on it's own, I do agree that with me being pale it isn't the best of colours but as said above, it doesn't wash me out. However, this paired with a darker nude gloss is perfect for a night out or an occasion and it has been my go to for around a month now.
In all honesty, all I can actually think about is how much of a nice shade of nail varnish this colour would be if you had a tan *swoons*.
Available for £1
