Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
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.

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
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.

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
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.

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
MAd Cap l/g, Revealing l/g, Underplay l/s, Bare Truth l/g, brave new bronze l/s, 3N l/g. These are all great nudes. Out of the 50 million I've tried...these are the most flattering. A lip liner can be worn.. I usually do Iman tan or MAC chestnut.

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
I just want to say that I like boybait over anything.
It gives me the perfect coverage, even alone, to be a great nude,
I'm an NW45, and I have 2 toned lips, top is darker.

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
Has anyone tried M.A.C.'s Our Pick lipstick? It came out with the Fall Trend collection. I was thinking of getting it as a nude. I am NW 45 for reference. Thanks!

Re: Perfect nude lips for NW 40-55
I've been eyeing Our Pick for a while, but I think its a tad too cool for my warm skin. I'd probably look like a corpse wearing it. Sucks, cause I love the color!!
