Pinky-nude is the chic lip colour every woman should own

This shade may look like a classic nude in the bullet, but it has a romantic rosy tinge to it on lips, as proven by the stunning Sydney Sweeney who selected it as her Emmys red carpet lip colour.

A shade that sits closer toward the ‘mauve’ end of the pinky-nude spectrum, it’s a moisture-rich full coverage lipstick that packs as much pigment as it does hydration (and it packs a whole lot of hydration). The cool-toned colour is also great for making a faux glow pop, FYI.
