If you have a tan or darker skin tone you know that finding the perfect nude lipstick is part of your makeup struggles. Majority of the time nude lipsticks can make me look ashy and casket ready as they were not created equal. Fortunately there a lot more options on the market and Nudestix is one of them.

Nudestix is a makeup brand that was founded by a mom and her two daughters. The idea behind the brand was to create a product that would be simple and easy to use for the eyes lip and face. They believe in sporting a more natural and easy going look and show more of our features without having to conceal our natural beauty.

The Nude Gloss Balm Founder Set was actually named after the mom and daughters JMama, Ally and Tay Tay.

It comes in a beautifully packaged travel sized container with a picture of the daughters on the top.

Inside reveals three nude nudestix along with a very handy sharpener. What is even better is that there is a mirror that is included on the underside of the lid which I thought was very genius. This entire set is made to travel with as everything that you need is included.

The colors range from soft corals and pinks and blush. The formulas are creamy, glossy and glides on effortlessly to reveal soft, kissable moisture rich lips.

These lipsticks definitely remind me of the Flesh Beauty nude lipsticks that give you the ‘my lips but better’ au natural look. The provide a hydrating, comfortable feel but however they don’t last very long. This may be an issue for some people but it doesn’t bother me to have to reapply my lipstick if I know my lips are going to be moisturized.

Even though there are not a wide variety of shades in this set like the KKW Beauty Nude Creme lipsticks, you can try their other nude sets that offer some beautiful deep toned nudes.

I love nude lipsticks that bring out your natural radiance as it’s not everyday that we have time to get all glammed up. The reality is that like many of us, I have ten minutes tops to get my makeup done and a multi purpose lip product like these are helping us women to stay ahead of the game, including myself.

Now let’s get into the swatches:

Ally

Ally is a warm tone coral nude that did not really show up as a coral shade on me but still came out beautifully.

Tay Tay

The color Tay Tay is described as a warm tone blush nude which I thought was pretty accurate.

JMAMA

JMAMA is a warm toned rose nude that I thought swatched the most beautiful on my skin tone. The rose hues were definitely there and it brought a bit more natural looking color to my lips.
