The Clinique Pop Lip Colour Lipsticks are one of the best lipstick formulas around; buttery yet not slippery, pigmented yet not thick, and long-lasting with no dryness at all, so when the Clinique Even Better Pop Lip Colour Foundation lipsticks launched (confusing name, I’ll explain) I was very excited as this is a product designed to help those of us who struggle with finding their perfect nude.
The Clinique Better still Pop Lip Colour Foundation lipsticks are a range of 28 nude shades divided into three categories: Naked, Casual and Glam. You begin the process of finding your perfect match beginning with establishing your foundation shade; if you are using Clinique already then you’ll probably know what this shade is, but when you don’t, you can always pop in-store and get matched or use the wheel around the Clinique site to make an educated guess. Then you find the three shades that match your skintone, and these are your perfect nudes for each occasion.
I was shade-matched to the shade Flax in Better still Foundation (wearing it in the pic above) so my three shades are Romanced (naked), Subtle (casual) and Entwined (glam). I think finding your perfect nude lip is a really tricky business as the wrong undertone or colour can drain you and also leave you looking poorly, whereas the best shade can do so much – giving all of your face a brightening lift, meaning you are able to cut right back on other make-up.
I got the shades mixed up in my swatches so it’s Subtle, Romanced and Entwined. Despite the fact that I think it suits me, I would struggle to wear Entwined as it’s a little too vampy for me, but it’s still a flattering undertake a more ‘in your face’ nude shade. Subtle may be the shade I most associate with your traditional brown-leaning nude – again, very flattering, although not necessarily a shade I would reach for myself – then you have the gorgeous Romanced, which is a gorgeous pink-leaning nude (wearing above) that sits in the naked variety, so it’s very subtle however , does go with everything – dress it up or down and it will look amazing; such a beautiful shade! The Clinique Better still Pop Lip Colour Foundation lipsticks are lb17.50 each – I would strongly recommend popping along for your nearest counter to find your match, however, you can also find out more online here – .
