Nude has never looked so sexy or attainable, all thanks to these spanking new makeup essentials.
When was the last time you pledged to try a new beauty trend and followed through with it?
This year’s beauty obsession is all about the gold – make way for nudes, neutrals and earthy tones that embrace natural beauty. Free yourself from the need for colour and dress it down instead in understated nude looks.
