Nude Crème

Nude Crème is a light, creamy pink-nude.

This is my MLBB (My Lips But Better) lipstick for when I want a little extra oomph. As with all Milani lipsticks, the formula is moisturizing, long-wearing, and it glides on smoothly. Another selling point is the packaging, which I normally don't talk about but I'll make an exception. The tube is metallic gold, making you feel very old Hollywood as you apply their lipsticks.

CONCLUSION

I really love this lipstick. It's the first nude that really looks good on me, since all the other ones I'd tried were too yellow-toned. If your skin is too dark for this shade, still check out Milani's website for other, darker nudes.
