I wish I could store a piece of summer under my bed and take it out when the weather turns cold and nasty. Since I can’t do that, the next best option is to soak up the season.

With makeup, I embrace the natural look. It’s easy because skin is glowier so it looks better without having to try harder. All it takes is a shiny, nude lipstick. I’ll be honest: finding the right nude can be just as daunting as finding your perfect foundation match. You don’t want the color to match your lips or you’ll end up looking like a corpse. You don’t want it to be too pink or it won’t look nude, etc. But here’s where I come in to help. I found the perfect neutral, and it exists within this trio of lip shades. Each color has a slightly different take on "nude," and while each is great on its own, personally I love to layer them and create my own shade to compliment what I’m wearing that day. The balms twist up like a chubby stick, but they’re more pigmented, feel more moisturizing (the formula contains cotton seed oil and vitamin e) and offer even more shine.
