MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Hi everyone!  I'm a new member here and I found this site when looking for the perfect nude lipstick. I found a thread discussing good MAC nude lipstick, however I am looking for a MAC nude lipstick that Will make me look "dead," I'm looking for a very pale, flesh-colored color that will make my lips "disappear" (no pinkish, orangish colors) In the thread, people were avoiding that look, so there wasn't much recommendations there. I don't like applying foundation on my lips, so i'm searching for the best, creamy-looking nude lipstick.
Sorry for the long description!
like this color>

Thanks so much in advance for your help!!

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
You could try MAC Lip Erase although I'm not sure on the colouring for that, or you could try utter pervette which was released with the originals collection. HTH.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Myth is a great nude lipstick. If your lips are very pigmented, you may need to apply concealer or lip erase (if you are near a pro store and can get it) underneath.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Thanks for the quick responses 
My lips aren't very pigmented, they are just a little plump so i would like to deemphasize them.
Do they sell the N collection and lip erase at MAC counters?
I saw the lip erase only on the macpro website.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Without question...Fleshpot...it has no color and will give you exactly the look you are looking for. I think it may be a Pro color.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
you can view the color on Ebay, which comes across a light peach in the photos but it is not a peach color, trust me...it's what you want.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
It really depends alot on your skin tone and your lip pigmentation, but all the suggestions in this thread are good ones to try IMO. Also Masque from the McQueen collection, if you can still get it. You'd have to call the pro 800 number for lip erase if you're not near a pro store.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Somewhere on this site (you could do a search) is the 800 number for ordering pro products. Or someone will list it here for you i'm sure. You probably have to have a card to buy it at a pro store - i think.

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Just compared my Fleshpot to N2...N2 is soooo darn close to the picture you like. Fleshpot is more opaque...whiteout for the lips

Re: MAC pale, nude lipstick?
Alright, I have a list of recommended nude lipsticks, I'll go to the MAC counter and try them all out (hopefully they'll have the pro ones too). Thanks again everyone!
