We don't know about you, but when we're shopping for a new lipstick, we're always drawn to the brights. Bold, matte orange? Oh yes please. Hot glossy pink? Get on our lips! But after seeing the very charming SK-II spokesperson and actress, Kate Bosworth, on the cover of Harper's Bazaar earlier this week, we couldn't help but notice her very plain but very sexy pink-nude lip. Different from a normal beige-nude, a pink-nude should match (and accentuate) your natural lip colour. We did some investigating to find out the exact lipstick brand and shade name Kate is wearing on the January cover of Harper's Bazaar, and also threw in another four options to get you in the mood for pink-nude. Lesson learned: Mute lips are sexy. Thanks Bozzie!
