Nicki Minaj has big beauty plans for 2018, and she is teasing fans with a new lipstick launch. The singer has teamed up with cosmetics giant MAC to create two custom-designed nude lipsticks dubbed ‘NickiNudes', which are set to launch globally this September. Named ‘Nicki's Nude' and ‘The Pinkprint', the new colors appear to be rich caramel hues with pink and coral undertones, and a photoshoot featuring the star sees her rocking a sophisticated corresponding nude look. But it seems that the lipsticks, which come in a stylish monochromatic packaging displaying Minaj's signature, are just the tip of the iceberg. 'Guess who's back with MAC?'

Minaj captured an Instagram post unveiling the new collaboration, adding: 'Can't wait to reveal this exciting news I'm working on for 2018!!! It's a first of its kind partnership for me and the OG MAC. Until then- I'm giving you a little tease with two lipsticks I created, coming out globally in September.'

A second photo, showing the lipsticks in close-up, was cryptically captioned: 'I'll release these #NickiNudes in September, in preparation for my big surprise announcement with M.A.C.' Minaj and MAC go back to 2012, when the star created a two vivid shades of lip color for the brand's ‘Viva Glam' project, which benefits the MAC Aids Fund. Copyright © 2018 AFP-Relaxnews.

The just launched which includes an entire collection of nude lipsticks and glosses. It’s literally a nude lip lover’s dream come true. There are two special edition nudes that were created by Nicki Minaj that come in gorgeous pink packaging along with eighteen other lipsticks and six lipglasses (some repromotes, some are new). I’m one of the biggest fans for nude lips but since I have olive skin and a naturally pigmented lip undertone finding one that works is super tricky. I’ve found over the years the trick with a lot of nude lip shades is that layering with pencils and gloss is key.

Luckily brands have expanded their range of neutrals so I’ve actually found quite a few that don’t require extra work. I bought the entire online since MAC select members had early access. The same day my order arrived a beautiful press package arrived so I ended up with two of everything.

I’m passing along the duplicates I ordered to a few friends and my niece, but stay tuned I’ll be doing a giveaway on another post later this week. Many of these shades are on the lighter side and a lot look very similar on me (like super pale concealer). Also because I have a pigmented lip my natural lip shows through on many of the swatches which looks like it could be a dark lipliner but I assure you it’s not.

It’s just my natural lip tone showing through. What I have reviewed and swatched for this collection:. The Pink Print. Nicki’s Nude. in: Under the Sheets, N-U-D-E, Please Me. in: Gossamer Wing, 2N, Bare Bling, Creme d’Nude, The Right Note, Derriere, Japanese Maple, Stripped, A Girl’s Got Needs, Easy Babe, Age Sex Location, Among the Fireflies, Playing Koi, Bosom Friend, Pretty Please, Baby’s All Right, Patisserie, Mmmmmmm Up first are the colors in The Pink Print and Nicki’s Nude.

Both have an amazing smooth opaque formula that covers the lip in one swipe. The Pink Print is a pale opaque pink peach however it’s on the soft side and the lipstick broke in the tube. To continue using it I’m most likely going to have to put it into a pot.

A quick look at other reviews shows that I’m not the only one with the issue of breakage. Just something to keep in mind when applying – apply if very gently. Nicki’s Nude is a deeper baby peach. This one isn’t quite as soft for me but still smooth and soft. Next are the which I’ve split into two groups (based on order they were displayed in the box).
