For a nw20 with dark brown hair & eyes, and mauve-ish lips, Entwined is my best nude, but Hug Me worked also, Moderne (LE) just scrapes in (bit light but can get away with it).

every nude lipstick I have tried so far have always been cool toned, like Bare Venus; it was a total disaster on me, it was gray and it instantly made me 70 years older...so is there a warm neutral out there?

Havne't found the perfect one yet. I'm getting bodysuit in the mail today, though. So, I'll let you know how that goes.
On topic, had anyone here tried MAC's "Kinda Sexy" l/s? I've been looking for a swatch(requested, but got no response) or at LEAST a picture of someone wearing it(couldn't find any in the fotd's either) for over a month now. It looks like a nude, but I want know what shade exactly. We all know those colour squares on the MAC site aren't exactly accurate for measuring colours. tia!

Coco Hailey, Try Jubilee. That is the only one I have luck with. Most nudes look terrible on me but I can wear this one.

I like Blankety & High Tea and depending on my eye makeup when I go smoky eye I like the good old Folio with clear lipglass on top.

I had the same problem. For pale lips, close to my skintone (NC30) I use Myth. But I've grown to dislike that look. I recently bought Honeylove. It's slightly paler than my lips, but not so much that I look dead.
Of course, how well much you like it depends on your skintone and preferences. Some other good ones to try are Freckletone, Peachstock, High Tea, Viva Glam V (works well with most skintones), Hug Me

So far, Bodysuit is the best one I've found. It's just a *tad* lighter than my ideal, though. I'll keep searching.
