Nude...Not Naked

I read the fashion blogs.  I read the mags.  I even Google images at an extraordinary rate.  And, I know, there is one beauty trend I can not get on board with - bright lip color.

Do you know what this is?  It's actually pretty sweet.  I tend to be a snob about makeup and skin products (take my bad skin, add my inability to stick to a regimen...voila!).  But, my budget doesn't really allow me to play with as much amazing makeup as I would like.
