Whats a good nude lipstick for me?

Try Hug Me, Honeylove or Shygirl from MAC. For a drugstore alternative, check out L'Oreal's Fairest Nude or Wet N Wild's Bare It All (which is one of my favorite nudes).

Good luck! 

I'm a fan of Cherish and Gaga2, they're the only ones that don't make me look weird and washed out. What's your skintone? It might help :)
 

Mac Blankety best nude ever! Also Mac Faux, it's quite pinky but works really well as a nude that doesn't wash you out. HTH

When they repromote it this Fall, try Yash.  Fresh Brew could work as well.  I like Blankety also, I am NC15 to NC20.

 

HTH

Try L'oreal Colorjuice lipgloss in Butterscotch Drop for a tannish nude or Passionfruit squeeze for a pinky nude... Both r semi-opaque, shiny and beautiful not 2 mention cheap

TryMAC  Half and Half? It's not bad..... And I second Cherish as well....

I am a NC15 and I have Cherish. I don't really like it because it looks washed out on me but I have really pigmented lips and it shows up on my lips really well. I suggest trying it out before you buy it

Honeylove is my favorite nude from Mac, since a lot of the popular colors such as Blankety and Myth wash me out. It's also a lot less brown than Gaga 2 on me. I also second the rec of Hug Me.

Try angel or Cosmo they're a little darker but u won't look pale because you can see the colors I like honey love as well

I would recommend honeylove and viva glam II. I'm pale as well and I love these nudes :)

I"m really pale as well with naturally red lips (yuck). Honey love looks so bright on me. Almost like a terra cotta. So sad because it looks  light beige on a lot of people.

 

has anyone tried Siss? I wanted to try that but wasnt sure because it might come off too brown or yellow.

 

I'm NC15 with red lips too. What you might need is something with yellow, peach or even grey undertones to cancel out your natural lip color, while still complimenting your skin tone. The ones that look really odd in the tube often wind up being the most flattering on me. If you get just the right canceling color, you can go for a sheerer texture and still have it read nude, but more opaque textures are fine if you pat them into your lips, instead of applying them heavily. The warmth of your fingers will blend the lipstick in with your skin nicely that way.

 

In the winter, the very best nude I've got is Restrict. That one is just perfect and very romantic. In the spring, I had the best luck with Playing Koi, and that was a color that didn't work for a lot of people - it's very pale salmon/peach. For summer, I enjoyed Salute! this year - it's like a little more warmed up Playing Koi. These were all limited though, but Salute! might still be around here and there. One that IS around that is absolutely gorgeous in the more beige nude department, rather than pale nude is Cusp of Dawn. You should check that one out since it should still be available - it's got a beautiful, soft, semi-sheer texture too. I looooooove it!

 

Nudes are tricky to match, so just be choosey and try a bunch of them in person - you'll know which one is working when you see it. There wasn't a single nude in the recent cremesheen+pearl collection i liked, and all the nudes from Naturally were awful on me too. I haven't had a perm MAC nude lipstick that was really great for me either, unless you want to count Sheer Mandarin Sheen Supreme, which is very yellow apricot, but turns a soft nude on me when I apply it lightly. It will just click when it's right.....like love!

I love Siss, its one of my favorite nudes but it is quite yellow and can cancel out the red and not look too grey or corpse like.  Love, love, love Siss.

i would say try creme cup, its a nude pink. favourite all time lippie of mine

 

 

 

Aww I had high expectations from Pure Zen and it disappeared on me too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've got the same problem, and love both Faux and Syrup.  Blankety works but I have to wear a slightly pinky gloss over it or else it washes me out a bit.  

Hue is a good nude as well and Angel if you want a pink-nude

My faves are Cherish, Honey Love and Blankety
