Best everyday "my lips but better' lipstick

[Cheesymonster]

Just that really! I'd like to treat myself to a nice lipstick that I can wear everyday. Not too bright/too nude (worried that my teeth might look yellow!), sort of my lips but better. I'm darkish blonde, pale but pink undertones, green eyes. Sorry don't know if cool/warm, I find that v confusing. Don't like gloss at all.

Maybe a mac one as they seem to have the widest range of shades?

Thanks :)

I agree about the Poppy King No 7 ones, but I don't think they are available in the UK any more, Ebay might be a possibility. I've been using Intrigue for a couple of years, it is the most perfect natural lipstick I've ever had, slightly glossy but sheer (not as glossy or slippery as the Revlon Lip butters).

[Cheesymonster]

The loreal 'name' ones all look really good. I wanted the Cheryl/JLo one but it was sold out everywhere.

Will check out the other two thanks.

Just returned from Tesco with three natural lipsticks.

Loreal Eva. Little bit peachy and a slight shimmer but nice with a tan.

Natio Eden, might be the perfect nude. Lovely lipstick.

Sleek Liquer. Very nice natural colour.

I have used chubby sticks but found they didn't last long enough given the cost. At the moment I am using the Rimmel version which is about 6 quid. It's brilliant. It looks natural but has a lot more staying power. Not sure what the shade is called though but it's a close match to bountiful blush. I also recommend Rimmel lipgloss in Snog, if you fancy a shiny look one day.

Benetint is great for this. Really moisturising and makes your lips look fab. Just don't put too much on.

I've bought loreal "Julienne's nude" with my boots points to tide me over until payday. Lovely colour but hate the smell!

I use MAC Patisserie with a slick of Boy Bait over the top.

Mac patisserie has glitter in it and is very drying. It sits on your lips, greasy at first then becomes drying.

Clinique cream nude is much nicer.

Would love to know how you go Cheesy especially with the NARS.

[Cheesymonster]

Thanks for everyone's input. After looking at a few swatches online (shops near me don't stock them) I've narrowed it down to MAC Patisserie, NARS Dolce Vita and Dior Lip Glow.

I'm naturally dark blonde but with grey/blue eyes.I find Burt's Bees lip shimmer in Watermelon fantastically natural and barely there.Also Cliniques Chubby Sticks in Jasmine ( a limited summer colour) is lovely for a bit more colour.

[GoWestcountry]

Another vote for Nars Dolce Vita here, the only neutralish shade I've found that doesn't look odd on me and I sound like a similar colouring to you.

I also like Korres lip butter in quince I think which is a similar colour but obviously doesn't last as well as a lipstick.

Thanks Dame save me from having to injure myself every time I lipstick shop :)

Safmello-another way is to test the lippie on your finger pad, if it looks right, it'll look right on your lips too.

[Leviticus]

Mac Shanghai Spice for peachy or Loreal nudes in Julianne (Moore) for pink. I'm fair and they are both lovely and natural - eyes look brighter and teeth whiter effect.

[TomatoSorbetWoman]

black honey is a bloody weird colour imo

[Cereal0ffender]

Burt's bees lip shimmer

[Walnut8]

Lancome beige couture (#218). I have quite full reddish lips (which sometimes look ridiculous with lipstick) but this neutralises them to a soft pink.

[SenatusPopulusqueRomanorum]

Laura Mercier sheer lip colour in Healthy Lips.

[GarlicAugustus]

I was also going to suggest Clinique Black Honey. It does look almost black in the stick, but goes on sheer and is moisturising. Mine's nearly run out and I can't afford another :(

[Sweetasstevia]

I like No7 Moisture Drench in Sugar Plum - it's a pinky brown and I have red hair, blue eyes and fair freckly skin.

Dior creme de rose is the name of the pot.

It's a little pot of loveliness.

Is not shiny, but gives lips a lovely moisture look. Great worn over blotted lipstick.

Collection 2000 vintage rose is a lovely shade on me. Far superior to the new Mac lipsticks.

[SoftKittyWarmKitty]

I really like No7 Sheer Temptation in Caramel Kiss. It's lovely on, quite sheer so doesn't look overly made up and the colour looks natural, plus it makes my teeth look whiter.
