Finding a nude lipstick has always been a challenge for many of us, but luckily the new Essence This is Nude Lipstick Collection is giving us quite a bit of options so that everyone has a chance at sporting their best nude lip.

The Essence This is Nude Lipstick Collection consists of eight nude lipsticks ranging from true nudes, peach undertones, pinky nudes and even berry nudes.

The packaging is an all white lid with a gold tube that will look very luxurious sitting on your vanity.

I really loved that they incorporated berry nudes in the collection as there are a lot of women with a darker complexion that need darker nude lipsticks.

The formula is like a creamy, semi matte finish with rich pigments. The shades Freaky, Bold and Legendary remind me of the Flesh Beauty Flesh Lipsticks as far as the shade, I would say they are definitely dupes.

Knowing that Essence is awesome for finding quality and affordable makeup, I would say that your chances for finding dupes to luxury makeup, especially lipsticks, is very likely.

I thought that the lipsticks had a great smell but a bit too fragranced. The scent started to get a little bit too overpowering so these lipsticks will not work for you if you are sensitive to smells.

Overall, the lipsticks are great and I was quite impressed at the formula. It’ll be wise to take it with you to reapply throughout the day, as being a creamy matte finish, you will find that it tends to transfer a bit, but apart from that it sits very comfortably on the lips without emphasizing dry patches and small lines.
