Nudes are REALLY hard to get right for lips. To some, nude tones mean chalky, Twiggy-esque 3D slugs adorning your face, or browns with a lot of grey, but actually, a flattering nude is one that takes its cue from your actual lip skin colour. Y'know, the clue's in the name - nude. To get one to suit, try not to go beyond a couple of shades of your natural lip colour, either way.
Une is getting it right, from what I can see. The brand is rolling out into Ireland now and we've had a look at some of what's on offer, as well as a chance to win some goodies. I've been having a go of a few bits and bobs and two products in particular stand out, one of which is Lip-Toned Colour in L02, €12.99.
It's lovely.
100% of the ingredients are of natural origin and just under 22% are from organic farming. That's excellent, but sadly wouldn't mean squat if the product was crap. It's not: this is a creamy, semi-sheer pinky-peachy lipstick that looks lovely against my skin. It's subtle, but the pigments make it brightening (as opposed to it being bright!) on the lips and while it's not got amazing longevity in wear, it's really nice, and doesn't leave lips parched and flaky.
A closer look at the bullet and a swatch is after the cut.

I like the packaging a lot, I must say.
No lip shot - I have horrid spots at the moment and you ain't getting to check 'em out up-close and personal!
