Look smart now

Say it with a nude lip

Craving a new look for fall? Why not try a super-sophisticated toned-down lip colour. This season the natural, nude mouth is back in a big way. Look for beautiful beiges to tawny taupes, or even just dab a little concealer on your lips to neutralize their colour. Finish the look with a soft, smoky eye
