Don’t worry, HighEnders. Despite its title, this post is not a feature on an all-girls cover band of 90’s group Bare Naked Ladies! Nope, this is all about beauty, beauty, beauty!

For the past year or so, I have been absolutely obsessed with the nude pout. Remember my summer lust list? Well, recently I’ve moved from the mouth and am now completely captivated by the carefully calculated nude face. Of course I don’t mean like an actual bare face—reference my “beauty!” chant. O, what Mimi’s talking about is a palette of creamy nudes and perfect peaches that will have you looking subtly sexy in a snap. I am obsessed with Nicole Richie’s understated glam in the picture above. The look is fresh and romantic, but still gives Nic a sexy glow!

So who better to tell you the beauty benefits of bare&buff than Mimi?

For eyes, I love tarte’s lock&roll in sandstone—cream eyeshadow on one end gives the perfect wash of matte nude, while the other end offers subtle shimmer. With just one swipe, darlings, you’re ready for world…well, beauty domination ;) Another fave is Lorac’s powder eyeshadow in cappuccino. It leaves my lids a soft brown but with a polished matte finish. And I know I’ve been raving about tarte’s lifted, but this eye primer does double duty by providing a great creamy base for any nude shade, while also smoothing and tightening eyelids.

Give cheeks a soft wash with tarte’s uber-popular cheek stains. For my fair-skinned and olive-tone girls, try the sweet peachiness of “blissful.” And my brown-skinned ladies can think pink with “eco-cheek,” a coral shade that offers just a hint of shimmer.

Complete the look with my favorite- the nude pout—with lorac’s cream lipstick in Charity. Or for the gal who wants it all, the double-ended lipgloss in Odysseus and Penelope offers two shades in one.

Okay, time to bare it all…on your face, that is!
