In the nude

A nude lip is everyone woman's failsafe, a comfort blanket in the form a lipstick. 

Here are my current fave nude shades, 

Illamasqua in rose pout (1) full of colour, perfect to make that nude lip impact, that's less skin coloured with a deeper pink pigment, MAC myth - which is a pale nude, lighter than hue (2) with a more of a yellow undertone, Body Shop colour crush 310 (3) a slightly darker nude, perfect for warm skin tones, Autograph at M&S - Nude (4) an almost sheer tone with a gloss effect and Kiko - 131 Shiny Lipstick (5) with golden undertones, this colour is perfect for beachy days and adds a bit more shimmer and blends with a natural lip colour and becomes almost sheer. 

Each of these nudes are colour rich so the colour you see is the colour you get, rather than it being overly sheer and the colour disappearing . Mixing any of these with a foundation base really brings out the colours. 

Available from Marks & Spencers, Selfridges and Body Shop, Kiko Stores.

From £6.90 to £18.50

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan

A favourite amongst many for the quick fix tan for unexpected sunshine days, without the 8hr commitment and it easily washes off.

Velvotan - The Original Tanning Mitt

Orange hands are nobody's aim when tnaning, but we've all been there, using our hand to blend or apply tan to a small area in a hurry and ending up with orange streaky hands. The Velvotan mitt avoids a streaky, uneven tan and is the perfect match for Rimmel's Sun shimmer.
