Six months ago, my nude lipstick selection pretty much consisted of nothing.. maybe one or two different lipsticks. I didn’t use to be big on wearing much eyeshadow, so I would usually do something simple and complement that with a bold pink or red lip. Now that I have more of an interest in playing with different eye looks (aka an interest in hoarding #allthepalettes), my nude lip collection has grown immensely, as I generally like to follow the “choose one feature to accentuate” makeup guideline.
The most recent addition to my nude lip collection has been three of the Marc Jacobs New Nudes Sheer Lip Gels. While sheer is in the name, they’re not as sheer as you’d think they would be. They all make for the perfect YLBB colors and are so comfortable to wear. The gel formula makes them easily glide on the lips, feels super hydrating and gives the perfect amount of shine. Contrary to a couple reviews I saw on the Sephora site, I didn’t experience any dryness with the Marc Jacobs New Nude Sheer Lip Gels after a couple hours of wear. I was able to wear one of these out the other night and it faded nicely over a few hours and a few drinks.
There are seven shades in total, all of which are so beautifully packaged in a nude colored lipstick tube with a magnetic closure. These lipsticks definitely look and feel luxurious, and I pretty much want to own every single one. Also, they have a light vanilla scent which just lures me in even more!
The first of the three I own is Have We Met?, which is a shimmering warm pink. The shimmer in this is SO fine, which I really like. I’m normally not much of a shimmer lover, but this one is totally doable because how fine the shimmer is.
Next up is Role Play, a dusty rose that looks amazing on fair skin. This is the most perfect YLBB color for me and I’ve been wearing it so often!
I saved my favorite for last- Eat Cake, a gorgeous rosy nude. This has just the right amount of rosy pink to it. It’s so easy to wear with a simple, everyday look (like in the photo below), and it also goes perfectly with a bolder eye look. I love this one so much!
I definitely give the Marc Jacobs New Nudes Sheer Lip Gels two thumbs up. I love them and will be getting a ton of wear out of all three of these timeless shades!
Which one is your favorite?
Amanda @Positively Amanda says
The third one, eat cake is my favorite!
Chelsea says
Mine too! It’s kind of deceiving how it looks way more vibrant than it is in the tube- but I loooove that! It’s a gorgeous shade.
Jodi says
Oh no, these are all calling to me. I’ve definitely gotten into the natural/nude lip game lately too and I just….everything about those are gorgeous!
Chelsea says
Hahaha, it’s definitely dangerous. ;)
Tirralan - Tinseltown Mom says
I love that Eat Cake color! It goes perfectly with your lovely eyes!
Chelsea says
Aw thankyou Tirralan!
Zoë says
eat cake is definitely my favourite too! Also can I say how stunning your layout is? I was like, I wonder who did it and then I realized it was you! LOVE IT!
Chelsea says
Haha thanks Zoe! Yep, that’s my day job- when I can tear myself away from blogging and playing with makeup, hahah.
Zoë says
my day job is on the computer too! sadly it’s the wrong kind of coding to be helpful with my blog though haha
Chelsea says
Aww, darn it! It definitely comes in handy :)
Megan says
Those are gorgeous. I think I like Role Play, but you’re right that Eat Cake is gorgeous.
Chelsea says
I honestly love them all, Eat Cake only just barely wins for me because the other two are so gorgeous too. I think Role Play is one that I will wear ALL fall and winter!
Babi says
It’s a toss-up between Role Play and Eat Cake! Both are gorg on you!
Chelsea says
Thanks girl!! xo
Anastasia says
Girl, all three look fantastic on you! I really want to pick up a couple of these too, but they’re all so pretty, I could never decide.
Chelsea says
Ahhh they would all look equally amazing on you, no doubt. I think Eat Cake would be SO stunning on you!!
Neversaydiebeauty says
Eat Cake and Role Play for me, please! All so pretty on you :)
Chelsea says
Thank you! Both of those colors would look perfect with your skintone and hair color :)
Joanna says
I love the packaging on these. All of the colors you chose look beautiful with your skin tone!
Chelsea says
Isn’t the packaging so pretty? I love that they have a magnetic closure, so they won’t pop open in my bag and destroy it, haha. Also, it makes it easy to gather all the bobby pin in my purse LOL. Thank you!
Ana Luiza says
I haven’t tried out these shades on myself but I have to say I’d go with the darkest of the three you swatched. If I’m going to pay Marc Jacobs prices, I want serious color on my lips! hahah

Chelsea says
Hahah I feel ya! I like this tactic ;) I didn’t actually find any of them to be very sheer, considering the name, so you’re definitely getting the color for your $$ :)
Brooke elise says
i feel you on the lack of nude lipsticks front. i still think i have less than a handful of them, they’re just not my thing. but eat cake is very tempting, it’s gorgeous!

Chelsea says
Yup, it’s taken me a while to really appreciate a nude lip, haha. Eat Cake is so gorgeous and rosy that I almost wouldn’t even classify it as a nude. It’s so pretty though!
365hangers says
Absolutely adore Role Play (and all the colors) on you!
xx
Chelsea says
Role Play is definitely super pretty. I think I will get a TON of wear out of this one in fall!
Phyrra says
I like Eat Cake, so cute!
Chelsea says
Thanks Phyrra!
Destany says
I think they all 3 looks great on you!
Chelsea says
Thanks Destany! xo
Cindy ingalls says
Eat Cake is gorgeous. I have Scandal and I just love it. The packaging is so luxe.
Chelsea says
Oooh my gosh that is an amazing color, just went and looked it up! I have a few of the Lip Cremes too and the formula is just sooooo nice.
Nidia - Lit From Within says
I usually gravitate towards the bolder lip colors, but that Eat Cake is gorgeous, and very flattering!
Chelsea says
Yep, I totally used to be the same way but I’ve found that as I experiment more with eye looks, I like to tone down the lips. Eat Cake is so, sooo stunning! Thank you!
Mercedes says
These all look great on you. I think I need to get role play and eat cake.
Chelsea says
Yesssss you do! Sorry, total enabler over here haha.
BeautyJudy says
OMG I want them all – you rock each one, too!
Chelsea says
Aw thanks!
MarciaF says
These aren’t what I consider nude since they have so much pigment. They are lively and lovely. All three shades flatter you so perfectly. My favorite is Have We Met?
Chelsea says
I totally agree with this for Eat Cake and Have We Met? because Role Play is pretty nude to me. I love them either way, and yeah- it’s such a perfect, bright spring shade!
Jasmine Vargas says
I need to get these. I haven’t tried Marc Jacobs yet.
Chelsea says
Ohhh you need to try Marc Jacobs lipsticks, they’re SO nice. I love the Le Marc Lip Creme line too!
Kath TheFabZilla says
All 3 are pretty on you. I have one and it aint sheer at all… which is good!
Chelsea says
Yeah, I am definitely pleased with how not sheer the formula is, haha. :)
Jenn, hellorigby.com says
These are gorgeous! I absolutely love Role Play!
Chelsea says
Thanks Jenn! That color would look gorgeous on you. xo
Brooke @ Blushing Noir says
I love Have We Met and Eat Cake! Gorgeous lippies!
Chelsea says
They definitely are all stunning! :)
Carly Brydon says
These Marc Jacobs Lip Gels look awesome on you! I love all three of them.
Chelsea says
Thanks friend :)
Stephanie Louise (@StephLouiseATB) says
Really lovely!!!
Chelsea says
Agreed :)
Honeygirlk says
I really like the third one – the color is fab. I have not seen Marc Jacobs stray from their normal packaging, so I think this is a breathe of fresh hair for this collection. I don’t own any of the makeup from MJ but I’m always intrigued.
Chelsea says
I am obsessssed with this packaging, I think it’s so pretty! Their usual packaging is so sleek as well :)
Norah Loves Makeup says
Eat Cake has your name written all over, right tone, sheer and so pretty!
Chelsea says
Thanks! I absolutely agree :)
Justina says
These are all absolutely gorgeous on you! I think I like the last one best too.
Chelsea says
Thanks Justina! xo
Lisa Heath says
These all look GORGEOUS!
Chelsea says
They definitely are :)
Lisette says
You look gorgeous, my friend!
Chelsea says
Thanks twin! xo
Chelle says
Eat Cake is definitely use best one out of the lot, but they all still seem rather lovely!
Thank you for mentioning the scent! I find that’s left out of reviews a lot and it’s one of the more important factors to me.
Chelsea says
Scent is definitely important to me! And the fact that these smell like vanilla… mmm mmm mmmmm.
Shawna says
Well, hello there pretty eeeeyes! ;) (trying to not be TOTALLY creepy, as I say that)
