I used to wear nude lipsticks ALL THE TIME until I let a young lady behind a cosmetic counter talking me into a HOT read shade many years ago. At the time, I couldn't even imagine myself in such a shade and now I can't even fathom NOT wearing bold reds, and my signature pinks. I keep looking for a good nude one but so far no such luck. Every time I try one, I think nah, I need something that really pops!
