by Olivia Youngs

Calling all makeup aficionados, beauty experts, and moms who just want to look like they're not running on 20 minutes of sleep. There's nothing like the power of a good shade of lipstick to make you feel awake and ready to conquer the day. Luckily for experts and newbies alike, MAC just released 16 new neutral shades of lipstick, and saying they're perfect is putting it lightly.

Anyone who has been on top of current makeup trends knows that neutrals are the new bolds for the way they fit any and every skin tone, highlighting your natural beauty. In fact, according to Vogue, for this fall, nudes are the perfect way to achieve the "maximum minimalist" look, with an effortless color that accentuates without really showing up at all.

M.A.C. blew away expectations with their recent release, with 14 new shades added to their existing Regular Bullets and two new shades in collaboration with none other than Nicki Minaj herself.

The collection ranges in hue from barely there pink, to deep sultry brown and, to be honest, the diversity in between the shades is stunning. There's a nude for every woman, perfect for any skin tone, level of expertise, or amount of sleep.

"Age Sex Location"
