This is the third Nord device we have seen in the last 10 months and it seems like the number is only going to increase from here. It doesn’t come as a surprise as the company has already shared its plan to go full frontal in the budget segment with the Nord series — It started with Nord, then a CE variant, and now a CE Lite. Not only that, we now have a budget TWS earbud under the Nord moniker.<br />  <div type="image" title="Nord CE 2 Lite 5G launched for ₹19,999" msid="91156323" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nord CE 2 Lite 5G launched for &amp;#8377;19,999&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The Nord CE 2 launched in February and garnered decent feedback for its UI and battery specs in its segment. The CE 2 Lite promises to offer the same standard of experience at an even lower price. Does it live upto the OnePlus standards and can it make a mark in a segment mostly dominated by Xiaomi and Realme? I will try to answer that in my review. <br /><strong><br />Price and Availability</strong><br /><br />The OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite starts at ₹19,999 for the base variant that comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You can get an upgraded 8GB of RAM by spending ₹21,999, with similar storage. You can buy the Nord CE 2 Lite from the Amazon India website or OnePlus’s own website. <br /><strong><br />Design &amp; Build Quality</strong><br /><br />This latest Nord is a fresh take on the classic OnePlus’ design. It has the shades of its elder sibling CE 2 but adds a more contemporary approach to it. Sporting a plastic build, the Nord CE 2 Lite makes it evident that it’s a budget phone and the signs of cost-cutting are obvious in this department.<br />    <div type="image" title="OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G&amp;#39;s Bahama Blue color" msid="91156394" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G&amp;#39;s Blue Tide color looks good&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <br />The phone is thick and weighs 195 grams, and you can feel the weight while using it in one hand, which might be an issue with those with a small palm. The big 5000 mAh battery is sort of a reason, but I feel OnePlus could have done better with the weight distribution. On the back, there is a protruding camera bump, but we can’t complain about that anymore since it’s a common smartphone trait. Yes, it does wobble a bit when you put it on the table, however, slapping on the bundled case takes care of that issue.<br /><br />The unit with me is in a new Blue Tide color which has a tint of green in it as well. Looking different from the Bahama Blue on Nord CE 2, this color definitely stands out. The matte finish only adds to the appeal since it provides a better grip and is less prone to smudges.<br /><br />The rest of the design characteristics are closer to the Nord CE 2. For starters, just like the former, CE 2 Lite does not get an alert slider. I would have ranted about it, but here the absence can be passed as it comes at a low price point. We do get a headphone jack, which is a rare feature on phones these days. Right next to it is a Type-C port placed along with the speaker grill.<br />    <div type="image" title="Nord CE 2 Lite has a protruding camera bump." msid="91156442" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nord CE 2 Lite has a protruding camera bump.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <br />For the first time on any OnePlus phone, the fingerprint sensor is embedded into the power button on the right side. It’s responsive and unlocks the phone with a gentle tap. While modern phones have moved on to in-display fingerprint sensor, a lot of OEMs like Samsung and Realme are now shifting back to the side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which was first introduced by Sony. I personally prefer the in-display fingerprint sensor, but this one is also perfectly functional and performs very well.<br />  <div type="image" title="Side-mounted fingerprint sensor" msid="91156461" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The smartphone features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <br />The volume rockers are on the left side, which is of good quality material and does the job well. There is a hybrid SIM card slot on the CE 2 Lite which supports either 2 nano SIMs or a nano SIM and a micro SD card.<br />  <div type="image" title="Headphone jack" msid="91156511" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;There is a headphone jack on the Nord CE 2 Lite&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />OnePlus claims the phone is vigorously tested to withstand water splashes and dust, however, it’s not IP certified, which means it might withstand drizzles and splashes but a heavy downpour may damage it. The phone does feel robust, but an official IP rating adds psychological satisfaction to the consumer.<br /><strong><br />Display - The ‘average’ of both worlds<br />  <div type="image" title="Nord CE 2 Lite features a 6.5-inch LCD display" msid="91156540" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nord CE 2 Lite features a 6.5-inch LCD display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div></strong><br />OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite has followed suit with its counterparts and has an LCD screen. The latest Nord features a massive 6.5-inch punch-hole display with 2412x1080 pixels resolution. Being used to gorgeous displays on OnePlus devices including the Nord CE 2 with an AMOLED panel, the CE 2 Lite leaves you wanting for more. It doesn’t mean that it’s bad by any means, the colors look vibrant and the display manages to reproduce crisp images and retain details. Watching content on it is also satisfactory, however, you do miss out on deeper blacks, sharpness and vibrance of an AMOLED panel. You need to set it to max brightness in order to view the content on the screen under direct sunlight. I was using the auto-brightness initially, but it wasn’t adjusting the brightness as required. It was not only slow but also failed to detect the light intensity in some cases.<br />  <div type="image" title="Nord CE 2 Lite features a 120Hz refresh rate" msid="91156560" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nord CE 2 Lite features a 120Hz refresh rate&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;redactor-invisible-space&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <br />The display comes with 120Hz refresh rate. There is no adaptive refresh rate, but a user can simply switch between the standard 60Hz and 120Hz. During my testing the display was set to 120Hz, adding a zing to my experience. The smooth flowing animation and the responsiveness of the screen made the interaction wholesome. <br /><br />While OnePlus has tried to do justice to the user with the LCD panel, it is important to point out that Samsung did a better job on the Galaxy F23 5G. With similar specs, the LCD display on the Galaxy F23 5G is brighter and the adaptive refresh rate feature comes in handy when you switch between content, playing games or just scrolling through web pages. <br /><br />OnePlus combines the display with a single loudspeaker that delivers quality sound. It compliments the screen well while facing the same issue that every bottom-firing speaker does - your palm can block it in landscape orientation. But when it doesn't, the audio experience is satisfactory. <br /><strong><br />UI - The USP</strong><br /><br />Running on Android 12 out of the box, the latest Nord comes with Oxygen OS 12 skin. As clean as it can get, the CE 2 Lite’s OS is perhaps its strongest characteristic, especially for an affordable phone. There is practically no bloatware, except for OnePlus’ proprietary apps like community and the OnePlus store. You also find Spotify and Netflix onboard both of which can be uninstalled.<br />  <div type="image" title="Nord CE 2 Lite features Android 12" msid="91156574" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nord CE 2 Lite features Android 12&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The result is a clean user experience that is easy on the eyes and quick to understand. OnePlus has introduced some new shortcuts for better productivity, like the ‘shelf’. A swipe on the top right brings down a tray that has all the essentials one needs. From data to weather and even app widgets. It is also customizable, I relied on it heavily for changing music and replying to my emails.<br />  <div type="image" title="Shelf feature on the Nord CE 2 Lite is handy." msid="91156582" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Shelf feature on the Nord CE 2 Lite is handy.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />You can also play around with the themes of the device by downloading them from a dedicated theme store. However, I would suggest keeping it classy and sticking to the stock skin. It’s subtle and easily understandable.<br /><br />You can do more aesthetic customizations on the phone like changing app icon styles and transitions. All of these make the experience intimate and you feel closer to the device. <br /><br />So far I have not come across any bugs that trouble me. But we have to note that this is a brand new unit, and the performance tends to go down eventually.<br /><br />OnePlus provides both fingerprint and face recognition on the CE 2 Lite. While the fingerprint sensor is snappy as I mentioned earlier in the piece, the face scanner struggles to unlock the device. And if you are wearing a mask, then there is no chance of it unlocking.<br /><br /><strong>Performance - Surprisingly fast <br /></strong><br />Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC the Nord CE 2 Lite, puts itself in a respectable space. Yes, its direct competitors like the Samsung Galaxy F23 come with the Snapdragon 750 5G chipset, but the performance in real-time is at par.<br /><br />The device with me packs in 8GB of RAM and delivers snappy performance. Boot-up speed is quick and you can expect the phone to start in a blink. Memory retention so far has been satisfactory, and the device usually boots up applications from the point where I left them.<br />This includes heavy games like BGMI.<br />This also brings us to the gaming performance on the phone. I played 3 action-packed rounds of BGMI on the CE 2 Lite and the experience was by far the best I have seen on a budget device. Running the game on HD settings, and high refresh rate there were minimal frame drops. The 120Hz refresh rate also adds to the experience. There is also a game mode on the phone that uplifts the experience. A simple swipe opens up a menu tray to look at the thermals, put the phone on silent mode and even record the screen.<br /><br />Yes, the phone does heat up while playing games, but it was only in the third round when I felt the heat. Yet, it is not unbearable, and in line with the output, you are getting.<br /><br />Before we move on to the battery performance it’s important to highlight the storage. The 128GB storage on my unit should be enough for most generic users. However, if you want more you can put in an SD card for upto 1TB capacity.<br /><br />Time to talk about battery life. Packing in a 5000 mAh cell, the Nord CE 2 lite, is a powerhouse. On a working day, the smartphone gave me a mileage of about 5 and a half hours and then some. This involved mostly calling casual social media, and occasional gaming.<br /><br />With the 35W SuperVOOC charger in the box, CE 2 Lite would charge from 0-100% in about 50 minutes.<br /><br />Clearly, the numbers are strong with this one. But, note the battery life mostly depends on your usage.<br /><br /><strong>Camera - The weak link</strong><br />The CE 2 Lite is a classic case of camera specs not translating to performance. The smartphone comes with a triple camera set up on the back.<br />  <div type="image" title="Primary camera performs well in natural lighting" msid="91156611" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Primary camera performs well in natural lighting&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The main camera is a 64MP shooter that supports electronic image stabilization (EIS). I had some decent expectations from it, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The camera, while being quick in taking snaps, tends to fail at capturing natural colors. Some of the pictures look oversaturated and show noise.<br />  <div type="image" title="Image quality dips in low lighting" msid="91156628" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Image quality dips in low lighting&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />There is a night mode on the phone as well, but it doesn’t boost the results in any way. <br /><br />Yes, occasional photographs might be fine with this one, but if you are looking for a phone for mobile photography, then this isn't the best device for you.<br />  <div type="image" title="Macro mode results are favorable." msid="91156692" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Macro mode results are favorable.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The video performance is also sub-par with the camera capable of recording 1080P videos at 30 fps. The video results are nothing to write home about, and the camera performs well only under well-lit conditions. The audio recording is also not of the best quality, but decent for the price.<br /><br />Then there is a 2MP depth sensor for those portrait shots. The edge detection is satisfactory and the portraits do come out well. However, this is again limited to well-lit conditions.<br />  <div type="image" title="Edge detection on portrait shots is satisfactory" msid="91156716" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Edge detection on portrait shots is satisfactory&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <br />Finally, there is a 2MP macro sensor that delivers satisfying results. I clicked pictures of different subjects and wasn't disappointed.<br /><br />  <div type="image" title="Selfies look soft and under saturated." msid="91156710" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Selfies look soft and under saturated.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />The selfie camera is a 16MP shooter, this is the same Sony IMX471 sensor as we saw on the CE 2. The performance is also similar and the output is fairly decent. You can use AI as well to tweak your images. From nose shape to cheeks you can fiddle around with everything. <br /><strong><br />Verdict</strong><br /><br />The Nord CE 2 Lite 5G is a trimmed down version of an already toned down version of the Original Nord- which is also a budget offering from OnePlus. Do you see the paradox here?<br /><br />By itself, this smartphone seems to be a strong contender against its counterparts like the Samsung Galaxy F23 5G or Realme 9.<br /><br />However, I feel its real competitors are from its own family. If you want the OnePlus experience on a budget, and can spend some more money then I would recommend going for the CE 2. <br /><br />This device is meant for users who want reliable performance in terms of battery, display and a clean software experience. However, if you are looking for a great camera then you should consider Mi 11 Lite. <br /><strong><br />See also</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/samsung-galaxy-f23-5g-review/articleshow/91106448.cms">Samsung Galaxy F23 5G Review</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/realme-9-speed-edition-smartphone-review/articleshow/90145143.cms">Realme 9 Speed Edition review – Great performance for price but underwhelming camera</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/redmi-note-11-pro-5g-review-excellent-display-great-battery-life-but-slightly-pricey/articleshow/90533447.cms">Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G review – excellent display, great battery life but slightly pricey</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Instead, parents should move them to shaded areas and dress them in lightweight clothing that covers their skin and a hat that will protect their neck. After six months, it's important to remember that sand, snow, concrete, and water <a href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/127/3/588" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can reflect up to 85%</a> of the harmful ultraviolet radiation coming into our atmosphere, multiplying an infant's sun exposure. </p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QX8X99V/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipf_072220_weefarers-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07QX8X99V&amp;linkId=df3f24bfe53684e1be58617fc6d325afe53684e1be58617fc6d325af" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored nofollow sponsored"><div type="image" title="WeeFarers children's sunglasses review: kids' sunglasses for ages 0-4" height="900" width="1200" msid="77209110" hostid="261"></div></a></p><h2><strong>What makes them stand out</strong></h2><p>A few elements that impressed me were the clarity of the polarized lenses and the glasses' resistance to bending after being sat on. The convenient soft storage bag and handy rubber strap that helps hold the glasses in place were a nice touch.

<p><em><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Today's Insider Picks is from guest writer Kara Manos, creator of Politics of Pretty, a <a href="http://politicsofpretty.com">DC beauty blog</a> dedicated to helping Washington women look their very best. </span></em></p>

<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Think wearing makeup in the workplace doesn't matter? Think again. Wearing makeup is just as important as the outfit and shoes you pick out. In fact, </span><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/fashion/makeup-makes-women-appear-more-competent-study.html?_r=0">studies</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> have shown that wearing makeup (but not an absurd amount) increases people's perceptions of a woman's likability. Plus, makeup helps you look more polished and professional. From long-wearing eyeshadow to moisturizing lip color, I've rounded up the best work-appropriate makeup products.</span></p>
<h2>Eyes:</h2>
<p>Dark eye makeup can yield many touch-ups and not-so-pretty meltdowns, and it can be distracting in a business meeting. If you have fair skin, sweep a long-wearing glimmering champagne shadow like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VQTUVE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004VQTUVE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=AOWBSJL3E5GQMHMF"><strong>Stila Eyeshadow in Kitten </strong></a>across the lid and blend up to the crease. If you have a medium to dark skin tone, try <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/estee-lauder-pure-color-eye-shadow?ID=483285"><strong>Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow in Sizzling Copper</strong></a>, a metallic brown that brightens without being too sparkly.<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right" style="width:300px"><div class="image"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VQTUVE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004VQTUVE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=AOWBSJL3E5GQMHMF"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54735d56ecad04fb479f17bd-1200-1334/stila%20eye%20shadow.jpg" border="0" alt="Stila Eye Shadow" width="300" /></a><p class="source"><span>Amazon</span></p><p class="caption">Stila Eye Shadow</p></div><p></p></div></p>
<p>Go easy on the mascara by focusing on defining and lengthening lashes with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C67E8NK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00C67E8NK&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=W4GGY44MSNDODFYK"><strong>CoverGirl Clump Crusher Extensions Lashblast Mascara</strong></a>. Start by rolling the wand from the base to the tip of your lashes to help separate lashes. Tame your brows with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EIRG5IW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00EIRG5IW&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=XCZ2TZU5SVNT6WZF"><strong>Benefit Gimme Brow</strong></a>, a volumizing fiber gel that fills in where needed and shapes arches for a polished look.</p>
<p>Wearing concealer is important because it conceals blemishes and discoloration around the eye area so you look more awake. I tested a bevy of products to find <a href="http://politicsofpretty.com/2014/08/the-best-drugstore-concealer/">the best drugstore concealer</a> on my blog, and to this day I'm still using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XHJHV6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B002XHJHV6&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=E264XHR7KBCCGTHX"><strong>Maybelline Age Rewind Eraser</strong></a> because of its ability to conceal dark circles and brighten my under eye area. Apply product in the shape of a piece of pie (not a crescent) for a natural finish.</p>
<h2>Face:</h2>
<p>Foundation isn't necessary unless you feel like you need more coverage than a tinted moisturizer or <a href="http://politicsofpretty.com/2013/03/best-bb-creams/">BB cream</a>. Personally, I love <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FAOV26/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B007FAOV26&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=HS3YVC44W2H4P6UP"><strong>NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30</strong></a>, which keeps skin hydrated and helps improve complexion over time.<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right" style="width:300px"><div class="image"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FAOV26/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B007FAOV26&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=HS3YVC44W2H4P6UP"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54735cf9ecad042b479f17b9-500-500/nars.jpg" border="0" alt="Nars" width="300" /></a><p class="source"><span>Amazon</span></p><p class="caption">NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer</p></div><p></p></div></p>
<p>As for bronzer, it's OK to add a little faux color with a matte finish like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053A0GT2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0053A0GT2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=RMORUPLXHOVHRQRT"><strong>The Body Shop Honey Bronze Powder</strong></a>. Using a bronzer brush, create the number "3" on both sides of your face, starting at the top of your forehead, dusting it along your cheeks and sweep it across your jawline. Don't forget to blend it into your neck for a natural finish. For blush, I prefer sheer, buildable coverage in a creamy formula.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8DKI8W/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00B8DKI8W&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=O6KAPDBKLQOZ2QJP"><strong>Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Color in Blaze</strong></a> is equal parts natural looking and long-lasting. It adds warmth to medium-deep complexions and a sun-kissed touch to fair-to-medium tones.</p>
<h2>Lips:</h2>
<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right" style="width:300px"><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XJ9DLG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004XJ9DLG&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=S6D67I3Z5NWW2VM5"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/54735afaecad0438439f17b2-323-500/tomford.jpg" border="0" alt="Tomford" width="300" /></a><p class="source"><span>Amazon</span></p><p class="caption">Tom Ford in Blush Nude</p></div><p></p></div></p>
<p>Lip color isn't necessary, but a sheer finish can enhance your overall appearance. At the very least, use a light tinted lip balm like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AWPPRC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B009AWPPRC&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=H2RTPKGWWYJREURA"><strong>AERIN Beauty Rose Lip Balm</strong></a>. You can add color to your lips without overdoing it by sporting a dreamy nude-pink lip color. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NRV0X2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004NRV0X2&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=NGKV4SR2BRIN43B5"><strong>Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss in Buff</strong></a> is pretty and non-sticky with a beige pink hue.</p>
<p>I believe a red lip is no longer reserved for date night-just make sure you apply in moderation. For example, eye makeup should be neutral and light if you wear <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M5T7QFQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00M5T7QFQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=4ASVWABA7OBZFLTW"><strong>MAC Lipstick in Russian Red</strong></a>, which is universally flattering on all skin tones and undertones. Using a lip brush, apply the color, starting at the center of the upper lip and moving outward toward each corner. Not a fan of red lipstick? Opt for a barely there hue from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XJ9DLG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B004XJ9DLG&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=biworkmakeup-20&amp;linkId=S6D67I3Z5NWW2VM5"><strong>Tom Ford in Blush Nude</strong></a>.</p>
