Yeah Nude didn't work on me either. Someone in the other thread said it gave her poopy lips or something. But I'm happy for people who looks fabulous in it.
RiRi Nude actually turned a very unsexy gray on me & gave me zombie mouth. I will stick with Viva Glam 5 & Touch.

Yes, Team Heaux! Lol...my first tube is almost done :'( and I did get one back up.  I regret not getting multiple back ups! However, I have heard Merlot from NYX is a close dupe.  Kate Moss has a collection with Rimmel and #107 is also a dupe - it's just a tiny bit darker.
it is a close dupe but the texture is different I don't like it at all. It feels cheap on

I could not have described the effect RiRi Nude had on me any better. It looked like I applied a very unappealing foundation or concealer to my lips. Not sexy at all. However, on some it looks lovely. Nude shades are very personal and individual. It is not the same for everyone.

I haven't even put mine on because I'm pretty sure it won't work. My favorite nude is cozy up and it's way different

I was hoping Nude would like as nice on me as it did on some of the other ladies on this board but it made me look terrible. I tried pairing it with different lip pencils but nothing made it work for me.

TEAM HEAUX HERE!! I backed the hell outta this lipstick!!
:werd:
Erine is there a good trick to mattify a creamier finish lipstick?
The best way is to do part of the typical "make your lipstick last longer" routine and take one ply of a tissue and place it over your lipstick after applying it and top the lipstick with a setting powder. It doesn't take it completely matte, but it does take the finish down to "less than" what it was before.

That was probably me. Tried it a few times but it actually looks like poop on me. Not flattering at all. Believe me, I have tried to like it but ehm... nope...

Thanks Erine! I have both heaux and rebel and on me both look pretty much alike save for rebel's glossiness that's why I never backed up Heaux.

That's absolutely true, on the lips they are the same , just glossier, had i realized that i wouldn't have backed it up.

I think Nude and EE are just those type of shades not everyone will fall in love with. I loved both of them for their odd quality. It's the regular looking lipsticks that bore me, and the weird ones I love lol! Put a pink or a red lipstick in front of me and I'll frown up, but put a cobalt blue, a grey, a black, a barney purple, or a hunter green lippie in front of me and I go NUTS lol.

I don't see why people keep asking that, it clearly is a completely different shade and finish. It's a red, that's about the only obvious similarity that I see.

Lol, I agree with you. With some lipsticks there is just no middle ground. You either love it or hate it (as you can see with people's responses throughout this thread) and I think Nude and Exclusive Event are those types of lipsticks. They're certainly unique so I can see how someone would like them over more common colors. I would love to try more unique looking colors such as the ones you listed but I'm so afraid of how they'll look on me, lol. I've seen them look great on other people but I guess I'm to afraid to take that leap as I like to play it safe.
