Re: Super pale. Looking for nude lipsticks.

i'm pretty pale myself....most of my nude l/s is from mac, but i have a couple from the drugstore too. i REALLY love loreal colour juice lipgloss in pina colada. it lightens the lips and is very flattering without washing me out.

My fave nudes are:

Myth (super duper nude I wear with smokey eyes), Blankety (everyday nude, prob my most flattering nude) and Honeylove (nude I use in the summer) by MAC. I also love YSL Rouge Volupte No.1 coz it's very creamy.

I love to pair the above with Underage l/g, Glamour for All l/g as well as Honey, Money and Rags to Riches d/g.

I'm NW25 for reference.

If you're looking for a good nude drugstore lipstick I would definatly go with Revlon's lipstick in Soft Nude. It looks exactly like Myth in the tube, but much more creamier. I swatched them both, and it seems like Soft Nude is a bit more peach - I love both with my HG lipgloss which is C-thru. I've been using C-thru for years, and I've never found a dupe for it.

For pink, I am loving Givenchy's lipstick in pink whisper. It's a bit on the frosty side, but it looks gorgeous with a tan. It's a sheer, light, baby pink. It's gorgeous! I like to layer pink whisper with dazzleglass in baby sparks.

Lipstick: Lame, Angel or Viva Glam V
Lipglass: Nymphette! It's a gorgeous pinky gloss with gold shimmer. It's definitely my "my lips but better" gloss

For the l/s, I'm going off of memory/swatches from the website. It's been a while since I've swatched the lipsticks.

If you want more sparkle than a lipglass, I love Extra Amps (just a nice pink with silver/pink glitter, goes over any pink lipstick) and Smile.

Maybe Intimidate slimshine? It's not super long lasting but it's a great color.

I second Angel, Viva Glam V and Nymphette! But you can try Plink! or Modesty as well.

I know the frustration that comes with searching for the "perfect" nude lipstick/gloss all too well. First one that came to mind was NARS Belle De Jour but it's rather pricey. I also like Rimmel lipstick in Birthday Suit. I heard they re-formulated or changed the color recently. I don't know how different the new color is from the old one. E.L.F. lip stain in Mysterious is nice and comes out to be nude once applied to my lips. Neutrogena Moistureshinegloss in Whisper is a nice nude color but I'm not sure if its still around.

I too was going to say:

Viva Glam v
Hug me - similar to modesty
Angel - also similar is creme cup.

Hope that helps x

Hm, I wouldn't try Angel lipstick, I don't like it at all, but that's just my opinion.
It's a frost I believe, which isn't the best formula you could choose, it makes your lips look kinda strikey.

it's a little on the pinky side, but i found the best nude-ish lip combo last week:

boldly bare l/l
viva glam v l/s
oyster girl l/g

i'm a nc15/20 for reference, with dark brown/light black hair and blue eyes. my lips are pretty pigmented, but using boldly bare all over really allowed for a BEAUTIFUL pinky-nude look.

for just l/s, i like creme cup or nude rose (from dsquared2).

MAC Creme d'Nude l/s with any pale pink gloss over it, this is the best for my light neutral skintone! (NC20-25) I dont like myth because its a satin finish but thats essentially the same color but a bit more opaque!

Nude Rec's for pigmented lips

I am an nc40 and my lips are pretty pigmented, so of course finding a nude lipstick that doesn't make me look dead is really hard!

I had really high hopes for mac peachstock but it just looks like I applied concealer...not a good look for me!

So, any rec's would be greatly appreciated!

I would like something that doesn't have any pink undertones, I like that peachstock had brown undertones but I just wish it was darker!

Thanks again ladies! : )

Re: Nude Rec's for pigmented lips

MAC Freckletone is a nice sheer nude. You can add a nudish gloss too to enhance it. I have pigmented lips too and find the super opaque nudes look odd on me near my lip lines. I started adding some in the middle of my lips (after moisturizing) and blending out with my fingers.

Some folks 'erase' their lips with concealer or foundation prior to adding their lipstick too.

Thanks, I will try freckletone. I also add a little foundation to 'erase' my lips, peachstock just felt like I added more concealer to my lips!

Thanks for the tips!
