When wearing a nude colour on your lips you need to pay attention to skin clarity. On those days you want a barely-there finish, start your makeup with an illuminating primer, this helps create an even look to your skin, and allows you to wear minimal makeup. Then spot correct blemishes with a concealer. I am a brow grooming addict, it gives definition to the eye area when you want to go eye makeup free, finally, black mascara is all you need to finish your sporty makeup look.
