Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55

[MACaholic76]

MAC Jubilee is one I'm falling in love with (right after my all-time favorite Honeyflower)

I am NW45 too but with my cool / rosey / bluey undertones MAC Touch doesn't work for me as a nude except in summer when I have a deep tan.

Bobbi Brown Grape Lipshine (?) used to be my HG MLBB lipstick but it was sadly discontinued. It was a unique grey-y beige berry. The closest I have found to replace it is Rimmel Radiance lipstick which has also been sadly discontinued but I at least had a chance to stockpile. It is a tad too grey and shimmery but is perfect in summer over a berry beige or deep taupe pencil / lipstick base.

My current pale / nude is MAC Midimauve lustre lipstick which creates a perfect nude lip without making me look like death warmed up... :smile:

Well worth a try if you find that the warm / brown based options just don't look good on you.

I am NC45, and my perfect nude is Lust lipglass. It decreases all of the pigmentation in my lips!

Now, I can finally do a smoky eye with nude lips!

I really like MAC Twig-Twig with Full on Lust Lipglass (both from the Originals). I have a hard time finding natural lip colors that don't make my lips look chalky (like C-Thru), and this is the perfect pink combo.

Hi Everyone,

I am a Newby (ahh) and tried to post a reply yesterday; it appears rather unsuccessfully !! So, here goes once more.

I am Nw 35 and Nw 40 with a tan. I have slight rosey undertones and some nude shades can make me look ashy or bring out a grey tone to my skin.

Just discovered Mac´s Kinda Sexy and I am lovin´it. It´s a neutral pinky matt shade and texture. It´s also a colour that can be mixed with others.

Hope this is helpful.

I'm NC50 and Honeyflower is definitely good also Mad Cap l/g works great for a natural nude lippie. Hush Hush tendertone with cushy creme liner is great (MAC)

I like MAC Plushglass in Wet, Wild, Wonderful. A neutral brown. (NC or NW 50 or so)

 

[M.A.C. head.]

If a pink nude color is okay, I would suggest:

MAC Dervish lip liner
MAC Love Nectar gloss

 

[NaturalT]

MAC Revealing l/g is a great nude lip for my NC 45 skin (I finally found somehting that works!)

. I haven't tried it with liner yet but browns like MAC's chestnut, cushy or maybe 80%, and Sephora's medium brown would add depth.

I think that this natural lip on the MAC site is gorgeous!
