The Search for the Perfect Nude Lipstick
Finding the best nude lipstick often feels like chasing a mirage. Too pale, and it washes you out. Too dark, and it loses that effortless feel. Too cool, and it clashes with your undertones. At Mirabella, we’ve heard from makeup artists, retailers, and beauty lovers alike that the industry was missing a nude shade that truly worked for everyone.
That’s why we created Not Your Avg. Nude—a shade designed to be more than just another neutral.
Why We Needed This Shade in Our Line
When we began conceptualizing the launch of our two newest additions to the Sealed With a Kiss (SWAK) Lipstick collection, we knew one of them needed to fill the gaps in our existing lineup. While Barely Beige gave us a light, delicate nude, we were still missing a warmer, richer option that could stand out as the modern nude.
The result? Not Your Avg. Nude, a warm, wearable nude that adapts beautifully to different skin tones and makeup styles. It’s the everyday nude lipstick that makeup artists have been asking us for—and the one we know clients will reach for again and again.
Why Nude Lipstick Is a Timeless Beauty Staple
At its core, a flattering nude lipstick is the makeup equivalent of the classic little black dress—effortless, elegant, and endlessly versatile. The team at L’Oréal Paris captures this sentiment perfectly:
“Nude lipstick is classic. Just like the little black dress that you’ve worn time and time again, the love for it exists because it’s timeless, comfortable, flattering, and you can always rely on it to elevate your look with little effort.” L'Oreal Paris
That’s exactly the vision behind Not Your Avg. Nude: a modern, warm-toned lipstick that enhances your natural beauty without trying too hard. It blends the reliability of a beauty staple with fresh, flattering undertones that feel both modern and universally flattering.
What Makes Not Your Avg. Nude Different
-
Universally Flattering: The balance of warm undertones ensures this nude doesn’t lean too cool or too gray, making it the nude lipstick for all skin tones.
-
Modern Formula: Infused with skin-loving ingredients, this lipstick delivers long-lasting color with a comfortable, creamy finish.
-
Pro-Approved: Tested and loved by makeup professionals, it’s versatile enough to complement both bold eyes and minimalist makeup looks.
How to Wear Not Your Avg. Nude
For Daytime Natural Looks:
Pair Not Your Avg. Nude with soft, glowing skin and brushed-up brows. Add a touch of mascara and subtle bronzer, and you’ve got a polished, everyday look perfect for work, brunch, or errands.
For Nighttime Glam:
Balance a smoky eye or bold liner with this chic nude lip. The warmth of the shade prevents your lips from disappearing into your complexion, giving you that sultry, “undone but refined” contrast.
For a Trendy Twist:
Layer with a glossy topper for a glassy, modern finish, or outline with a slightly deeper liner for dimension and definition—one of the biggest lip trends this season.
The Nude Lipstick That Does It All
Whether you’re stepping into a client consultation, heading out for date night, or just want a swipe-and-go lip color, Not Your Avg. Nude is the lipstick that adapts to every moment. Chic, versatile, and anything but basic—it’s the modern nude you’ve been waiting for.
