I'm very on and off about my Myth, and on my off days (when I feel like it's making me look too trashy or too dead), I go for Blankety. It's slicker/glossier than Myth, and has a more greyish-beige cast on my lips (I think of Myth as being a very clean, simple concealer color on both the hand and the lip while Blankety is a complex flesh-rose on my hand and a glossy nude grey on my lips). For the most understated look, matte Honeylove is the best. It's an inoffensive, low-key nude color that's a lot less apparent than Myth's paleness or Blankety's shininess.

Although i havent tried many, Bare Venus is my current fave. I had to grab it off the MAC site before it was gone & i love that i love it

Im actually not liking Body Suit that much, it doesnt look nude on me...it looks...weird. Ima go try it on again, if i really dont like it then im taking it back with Bare Fetish & Of Corset! tomorrow.

I could see it working better on lighter skin, like NC 15-20, but I'm an NC 30. It's just a shade or two too light.

i have yet to find my perfect nude, but these are some top contenders (i'm NW/NC20 or N4 in Studio Fix; naturally dark blonde hair, dyed chocolate brown, green eyes):

Hug Me (peachier than truly nude)
Fresh Brew (a little too brown)
Viva Glam V (just a tad too dark)
Viva Glam II (a little too pink)
Blankety (good color, just would prefer it in a sheer formula instead)

Myth is TOO light for me (and i'm pale!) and too "concealerish" for my taste. reminds me too much of the girls in high school who just wore foundation on their lips. ick!

Bare Venus was a little too cool for me.

I kinda like Touch, having rediscovered it recently.

i love cherish - and also hug me!

Flutterby is by far my favorite.

Sassifrass · 01-22-2006, 06:29 PM #60 (**permalink**)

I love Romanced! Hopefully it shows up in another collection--I only have 2 left!

HotPinkHeels · 01-23-2006, 06:26 AM #61 (**permalink**)

I really like Cherish-I have it in the peachy face palette and it's one of the only nude lippies that works for me.
I tried peachstock after reading so many good things about it and it was the most awful thing i have ever put on my lips-i looked dead!

doesn't anyone love jubilee?! it's beautiful on me.

bring_the_rukus · 01-25-2006, 02:34 AM #63 (**permalink**)

i like cherish, which was probably my first mac lipstick maybe 10 years ago? Viva Glam II is also a great one for me.

Pale Moon · 01-25-2006, 04:26 AM #64 (**permalink**)

(she's nc30)..

I got Rio Babe from Ebay today and I'm not sure what to think of it. It feels a little tacky. A pasty tacky color. You can see all the cracks in the lips. It just doesnt look right. :-( I wish it wouldve turned out better.

Still hunting for that perfect Beige, Nudish color.

Myth w/ Summerfete TLC over the top is my fave nude lip combo right now- but I also really like La Di Bra with Of Corset over the top for a nice nude too

Tonitra · 04-21-2006, 04:04 PM #67 (**permalink**)

I'm just beginning my lipstick collection and the first colour I bought was Tanarama, which I'm quite fond of. Especially if I'm going for a very nude look, with smokey eyes or super-colourful eyes.
I tried Blankety on yesterday and really liked it, but wanted something with just a little more colour (but still an amplified cream) so I chose Emphatic, and I looooove it!

solardame · 04-21-2006, 05:40 PM #68 (**permalink**)

C25/3 & beige lips. More natural toned (pink) than nude, but I love Pink Aperitif and Viva Glam II.

Same here! Just got it last week and found I loved it more than Naturally Eccentric, which is the one I was really wanting in the swap. I have to be carefull, tho, or Peachstock makes me look washed out. Must be over lip balm and lightly applied, then tones down my lips just right.

Entwined is a nice neutral/natural, Body Suit is another for a slightly cool pink nude.

Blankety, most definitely.. but not by itself, usually with be seen, instant gold, c-thru or crystal beach l/g.. in second is a tie between Hug Me and Half n Half.. can't decide if these are too brown for me yet.. oh, and I also love Awaken, to me it's like Blankety but in a frost formula

Femme Noir · 04-22-2006, 12:50 AM #74 (**permalink**)
