National Nude Day: Show Some Skin(tone)!

(Via Megan Hess)

I was not aware of "National Nude Day, until  I read  a piece my daughter wrote for Devine Color, celebrating their creamy coverings for chic spaces.  Being totally transparent, I have kept anything "nude" to the privacy of my home (you're welcome), until now. Blame it on the heat, but now I do agree that less color can be more.

Here: 12 Fabulous Flesh-tone Finds

Diorskin Nude Glow

Sun Powder Bronzer

This product says it all. Nude Glow creates an energized, glowing complexion. You might just be able to strip down your cosmetics to a little CC Cream and Bronzer, and go sans foundation this Summer. A bit expensive, but does come with its' own Kabuki Brush.

Nordstrom

Faithful Shaggy Jacket

As the name suggests, this looks like something Marianne Faithfull might have worn in the 60's and 70's.  It just goes to show you that nude is always in style.
