Second Skin: Meet The Nudes

(Via Christian Louboutin)

The moment I saw this image, I knew that this Monday, I was going nude. Settle down, I am talking beige, here. Christian Louboutin states: “Nude shoes go with everything and allow you to wear any handbag or accessory you want.”  And that is exactly why I like the color, especially moving into Fall. White stands out, and nude blends with everything. For this edit, nude comes in various light shades of beige.

HERE: 15 Nearly Perfect Nudes

Some would call these the perfect pump.

Bobbi Brown Beige Shimmer Brick Compact
This is my dessert island beauty must have. It creates a candlelight glow to your complexion. I use it as my blush and sometimes eyeshadow. No glitter. Just a very soft shimmer.

Christian Louboutin The Nudes
I make a point to only wear a nude to white shade on my own nails. In doing so, you don't have to worry about matching your lipstick. The designer nail polish is luxe, glossy, and the color stays true. It better be for the price!

The perfect watch to wear for dress or work.

This is how you stay and look cool on warm September days. Wear it now with bare legs. Add leggings in September and throughout the Fall.

Wolford Satin Touch
The perfect hosiery for every day and every occasion. They are transparent with a glamorous sheen. They come is 30 chic shades, but my two fave nudes are Cosmetic (top) or Gobi (bottom) The Gobi is great if you want to match a tan. Super comfy and long lasting!

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.
