Her shade description: A soft, natural matte nude with a pink undertone.
Her inspiration: Her own go-to look. "I'm kind of known for nude lips and dark, smoky eyes," Nikkia explained. "Velvet Teddy was so close to being perfect, but a teeny little bit too dark for lighter skin tones."
Her ideal name for her lipstick: Joy, just like her name.
Her favorite way to wear it: While she thinks her dark smoky eye look would be best, she thinks it's quite versatile and will flatter every skin tone. "It's a great everyday color as well for work; you can just slap it on." She'll be pairing it with her favorite MAC lip liner, Boldly Bare.
Pro tip: Cleaning up a messy lip line doesn't have to be a hassle. "If you do make a mistake, a lot of people clean it with concealer," she said, "but it's actually a lot easier to clean up with a pigmented pressed powder." Nikkia recommends using your favorite foundation powder on an angled brush to sharpen up the edges of your lips. "You can clean it up without getting any jagged lines."
