wow lurking and reading and so many recommendations to choose from...thanks to all the ladies' on here who gave their choices...I am making these lipcolors on here into a shopping list...thanks..

 

[LatteQueen]

I have a problem with my lips..top lip is darker and bottom lip is pink color as where to any color on the bottom looks fantastic..but apply that color to my top lip looks horrendous..so I have to even it out with a lipliner...

 

[LatteQueen]

Are alot of these colors from MAC or another makeup line? Just want to make sure cause I am writing down most of these colors but don't know if these are from MAC. Thanks

Hi I'm new and this is my first post, woo-hoo I'd like to know everyone's favourite products to achieve the perfect nude lip look to counter bright or dark smokey eye makeup. I kinda wanna try the JLo-Nicole Ritchie- Angelina Jolie- style look. Not too glossy...not too matte...just perfectly natural-looking puckers. Suggestions ladies? For reference I'm Mac NW45 - Aveda Hickory Cheers!!!

soooo i just had an epiphany:

i have really pigmented lips and c-thru wasn't as nude as i wanted it to be soooo...i put painterly paint pot on my lips then c-thru and WOWZA!! really really nude! i think that painterly can be used in place of the new mac pro nudes lip products that they just came out with[/quot

have you tried using ur foundation? its better then any "nude" lipstick i've ever tried..i like to pare it with a lipliner that is 1 or 2 shades darker then my natural color and it looks great..if i set it in transucent powder it will be matte, if i add a tiny bit of clear gloss it wil look creamy..and if i add more clear gloss it wil be glossy. i have a foundation that is lighter then me that i bought specifically for this reason.

I found my perfect nude just this evening. I purchased Touch L/S, then layered Shock O Late on top, perfect!

IAWTC. Touch is a great nude lipstick. The texture is also good for a nude lip too. Now my formula is:
Whatever that LE liquid concealer is
Sometimes Hodgepodge l/l
Touch l/s
Liqueur l/g
I usually play around with the glosses so sometimes it's something else.

a revelation.... covergirl Toasted Kermesse!!! so haute!

I am happy.. I'll take a picture tomorrow.. it is a little darker than MAC chai.. which looks gray on me.. this one is perfect and just got it at lunch.. I've been a drugstore snob.. shame on me!

seven-friggin-dollars.. i've spent 3x as much for wrong tones..

Siss (applied lightly with hodgepodge l/l I also use clear gloss on top)
Mad cap l/g
And for a pinkier nude
Bare slimshine

[GlamQueen21]

Patisserie l/s is my favorite nude of all! I also like Naked Paris l/s, Madly Creative l/s and Boy Bait c/g.

 

[BKTrinVincy]

captive l/s ample pink l/g gives a nudie/pink effect

 

[iheartmakeup412]

I stummbled across my perfect nude yesterday. Creme cerise from COC. I've had this l/s for almost a year and I've never used it. It's the same color as my skin complexion so it looks and feels better than foundation. I just ordered a back up from AWSC.

Mad Cap, Brave new bronze, or underplay

 

[spectrolite]

NW45/NC50 here. My lips are different colours - top is darker. I have a few favorite nudes but I'm always after more ideas:

Lipsticks:
YSL Rouge Volupte in "Sweet Honey"
Mac 4N
Brave New Bronze (I really have to work with it though)

Glosses:
Sugar Trance lipglass
Soft Wave lipglass
Stila Lipglaze in "Brown Sugar"
