Of the multitude of ways to refer to a booty/buttocks/bum/butt, derrière is my fave.
Derrière, daaaaahling! DAIRY AIR.
That’s classy.
There’s a lipstick in the MAC X Nicki Minaj collection called Derrière, which I take to be a celebration of Nicki’s famous backside, and why not celebrate it?! I think it deserves a parade.
BOOTY ALERT!!! For reals, my HIIT instructor plays this song in class sometimes, and it always cracks me up!
Nicki’s new booty-rockin’ limited edition collection of nude lipsticks, lip pencils and Lipglasses is available now with lots of love for #TEAMNUDELIPS.
There are SO MANY ways to work nude lips into cool combos, and here are nine ideas.
Note: If you happen to not be a member of #TEAMNUDELIPS, oh! Please come here. I have to try to convince you, but where do I start?? There are warm pink nudes, neutral pinks, peachy pinks, beige-pinks, AND THOSE ARE JUST THE PINKS. There are also peachy nudes, nude browns and… So many possibilities! The pics below just barely scratch the surface of the nude lip iceberg, but I hope they give you one or two impulses. 🙂

I am not Team Nude, somehow it always looks boring on me, not so natural glam as it does on you.
Kim says
You know I’m barely Team Clear Gloss and nearly every lipstick looks awful on me. I just realized we are like lipcolor opposites because everything looks great on you! 🙂 I think I could maybe try #1 or #5 but then I remember it’s because I’m stuck in the 90s with lip color faves. HAHA!
Chelsea says
My main nude lip right now is the LORAC hydrating lip stain in Comedienne. Peachy, a little sheer (because I have a lip freckle I like to show), natural finish.
Monika says
Yas this was the review I was waiting for. I always look to you for your bomb nude lip combos since we’re in the same skin tone range. I love everything you put together and will totally be getting some of these myself!
Katie says
KAREN! You are killing me with that surprisingly-sensuous combo of Cork and Derrière. I’ve been looking for a lipstick in that kind of brown (albeit with a hint of red).
Astrid says
I’m seriously confused about the definition of nude lips itself ?. I thought it should be one that made people not focused on your lips? But then there’s #mylipsbutbetter ones.
I tried some lippies from this collection, the only one that worked on me is Among the Fireflies. It’s nude but not pale nor greyish looking. The combo you’re trying for it looks really nice though, would love to try that out too. For reference my skin now super tanned (thanks to that Cali holiday yay!) so nc44 with super pigmented lips.
Jane says
Those lip combinations look great on you, but I am not a fan of the brown lip tones for me ( didn’t like them on the ’90s either). I have natural light berry tones in my lips and go for more rose or berry shades. My go to has been Nars Dolce Vita with Rosebud liner. I also have been wearing Nars Tolede. I am thinking of trying one of the Audacious shades with one of the new Precision liners.
Isn’t it great when your child starts verbalizing!

That Booty Alert song is too much!!
