My Perfect Nude: Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick '04'

I know we're now in Autumn and the Lipstick Law says we should be reaching for deeper berry tones but when you're the not so proud owner of the worlds thinnest lips like me (seriously, they're like a dogs lips) then those more vampy colours can highlight just how small your lips are and sometimes make them look even thinner. I always feel more comfortable with nude shades but can't stand the 'my lips are the same colour as my skin' look so when choosing a nude I always go for shades that lean more pink and aren't fully opaque.

Sephora Rouge Shine Lipstick '04' is a moisturising lipstick, perfect for this time of year when the coldness can bring on the dreaded cornflake lip. There are so many colours to choose from and a number of finishes - glossy, shimmer, metallic. The Sephora 'S' is engraved on the side of the lipstick and the bottom of the tubes are the same colour as the lipstick inside making it easy to find which one you're looking for if you have a few in your collection. '04' is a sheer pinky nude, one swipe adds enough colour to tone down my natural lip colour but it can be built up to almost full coverage. The finish is glossy so for that reason it isn't the longest lasting lippy out there but I don't mind topping up when I need to.

If you're looking for a lip colour that won't dry out your lips or highlight any dryness you already have, you can't go wrong with the Sephora Rouge Shine formula.

    1. This is the only Sephora lippy I've tried but I love the Ultra Vinyl Lip Pencils, Lip Glow and Cream Lip Stains too.Sephora's own make up is brilliant!

    1. I know what you mean, there are so many things I wish I'd picked up now but at the time I didn't want to just be buying things for the sake of it.

    1. Wish I'd gone for the red as well now, the swatches online make it look really wearable.

  6. I love the fact that the bottom of the container is the colour of the lipstick!
    Most of my lippy's are mac and it's impossible to find the one I need in the mornings!
    This looks really nice, I love the colour!

    1. I know, it's so handy having the colour on the tube when you own loads of lippies from the same brand.
