Bare Venus vs. Blankety vs. Body Suit?

[swaly]

I have Blankety and it's so close to being the holy grail of nude lipsticks for me...but it's just a little too grey and a little too pink for perfection. I'm interested in both Bare Venus (if I can get it) and the newly released Body Suit...was wonderful how you ladies (& gents) felt about the two colors either in comparison to Blankety or just on their own.

i'm a C2. i remember trying blankety on my hand but it didnt stand out to me as much as bare venus. as for the new one (body suit) i didnt try that on out. but i love my bare venus (cuz its an amplified creme too!)! i got that and romanced the same time, romanced has kinda like a shimmer to it whereas bare venus doesnt. HTH

I swatched bodysuit and hug me on my hand.. and they were nearly identical... if that helps

i cant speak for everyone but bodysuit is my new HG nude... it is quite honestly the PERFECT lipstick for me.. im quite pale and have red hair and its just the perfect color on my lips.. ive never been a fan of lipstick but i can wear this one without being self concious

I can't wear Blankety-it's too gray and opaque on me. Body Suit has more mauve in it and is a lustre so I find in more wearable. I've been using it with Whirl, Oak and Stripdown. I think it would look great with Plum and Stone l/l's as well.

I haven't tried Bare Venus.

Bare Venus is my HG nude lippie. I am very fair and it is just perfect for me. I am going back to get Body suit but I have to agree it has a hint of mauve in it. I only tested it on my hand so it could look different on my lips.

OMG, Body Suit is perfect! I got doubles. Perfect mix of pink/nude/beige/shimmer.

I love Body Suit! Lustres are my favorite, so this is just perfect

) I have Bare Venus also, but since is is Amplified Creme it has way more color and kind of washes me out! I only wear it if I'm wearing a gloss over it because the color by itself is not my favorite. But honestly it all depends on your own preference and coloring!

I LOVVEEEEEEEEEEE Bare Venus. Omg, love it. I'm going to get a backup at my counter. And, I think maccosmetics.com still has them. I could be lying to you, though.

Today I was going in to the counter to buy some stuff, swiped Body Suit and it's really identical to BV. I don't like the texture as much, but the color is there.

i just swiped Body Suit, Hug Me, VG 5, Entwined and Bare Venus and they are all pretty darn close to each other! the pink/orange/brown undertones are all slightly different , but i LOVE them all!
