Looking for a pink/nude lipstick

[xraychick]

Hello! I've been lurking here for a while, but this is my first post. I'm very new to MAC but I love it so far. I've only got two lippies...VGV lipstick/lipglass. They're both great but where a little darker than what I was expecting. I'm looking for more of a natural pink/nude lipstick. I have pigmented lips so it's been a struggle to find anything that works. I don't like dark colors and they can't be too light or they wash me out. I have yellow undertones, very dark brown hair (almost black), and blue/green eyes. I've attached a pic of my natural lips with only lip balm.

Some colors I'm interested in are Politely Pink, Creme Cup, Faux, Blankety, VGII, and Creme In Your Coffee (I realize this is a pinky brown but the swatches I've seen online look gorgeous!). What do you think of those? I would greatly appreciate any and all recommendations!!

Thanks!

Congrats on first post, and I promise, you'll love this site

You've chosen some amazing colors - but have a look at:

Creme D' Nude
Angel
Myth
15 Min (this might be disc.)
Marquise D'

Those are in my opinion, and your lipcolor taken into consideration, an idea for you to look at!

I

Creme D' Nude and Angel !

Good hunting

Try Modesty lipstick (cremesheen): I think it'd look perfect on you!

Some of my favorites in no particular order are
Angel
Hug Me
Myth
Blankety
Fanfare
Cosmo
Modesty

Maybe one of those will work for ya!

I have a very similar natural lip colour to you and I really like modesty. I've been looking at many that you've mentioned but worry they might be too pale on me, I'd really like to hear how you get on.

Myth is great with glosses. On it's own it's super pasty, but you can get some really pretty looks with the right gloss on top.
Creme De Nude is a great nude that looks great with or without a gloss :3

Thanks for all the recs! I will check them out!
In regards to Modesty...how similar is it to VGV (which I have and like but I want something lighter and more pink/nude).

Thanks!

It's limited edition and it really is a perfect nude-ish pinkish color. I think a close dupe for it is Hue

Pretty Please
3N (LE)
Angel

Does this mean it's not on the MAC site? I can't seem to find it there.

No you will only be able to get it at a CCO or Ebay
