Which nude lipstick

I love the colour of Mac Creme D'Nude but it's a bit more of a creamy texture than I'd like.

I've tried Charlotte Tilbury Nude Kate but it's too dark for my complexion.

Can anyone suggest a lovely nude that is not too shiny or creamy?

I’ve just bought Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria. I’ve been on a bit of a quest for the right nude and I think this may have nailed it. It’s a bit darker than a lot which suits me better as I need darker lip colour to not look washed out.

For a budget option, I recently bought Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish lipstick in shade 03, as recommended on the fopperholic facebook page.

Mac velvet teddy & really me are nice,if you get a lip liner u like use that all over your lips u can make your own nude colour i do this to get a pink nude.
Also max factor honey lacquer in the colour honey nude is so nice.

I'd love to find a nude lipstick that doesn't make me look totally washed out. But until I do, I'm sticking to gloss with a hint of colour.

Mac Velvet teddy is beautiful. It's so lovely on and goes with everything

Blankety is the only one I'll wear

Ever

Try Mac kinda sexy

sofato5miles · 29/01/2019 14:32

Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury. I LOVE it

delboysskinsandblister · 29/01/2019 14:35

@ratonastick

which skin tone/colour are you please? My skin is fair but not red haired fair. I have light brown hair. I tan fairly easily but in Winter my skin looks fair. Would this suit me please?

Holidayshopping · 29/01/2019 14:36

I have a Mac one-I think it’s called Honey Love.

delboysskinsandblister · 29/01/2019 14:39

i think I need a peachier nude. Anyone recommend one please?

traingal · 29/01/2019 14:40

Pillow talk. Am on my third. Thought I wanted paler but i was wrong, it’s so flattering.

delboysskinsandblister · 29/01/2019 14:47

@traingal

Thank you! Smile

Ratonastick · 29/01/2019 14:59

delboy you sound a bit warmer than me. I am vanishingly pale, I always need the palest foundation with a pinky undertone and never tan, but I have dark brows and lashes and quite dark blue eyes. I’m also a bit fat so it’s a winning combination and I need to make sure my features don’t sink into my face!

I thought I wanted Pillow Talk, but the slightly darker colour suited me better. The CT staff were very helpful and knew their stuff so worth asking at the counter.

Springmachine · 29/01/2019 15:02

I have a Pillow Talk but it's still too dark for me . Velvet teddy sounds nice

@Holidayshopping that was my wedding lipstick! I don't tend to wear it that often anymore but is a lovely nude

kalefire · 29/01/2019 15:05

Mac shrimpton is the one I got when they were out of stock of creme de nude

Charlotte tilbury Kim KW is a pale pinky nude which is lovely (I'm not a Kim K fan but this was too good a colour to stand by my morals)

Tom Ford nude vanille and blush nude are also lovely.

Am obsessed with finding the perfect nude

MakeupMonster · 29/01/2019 15:58

Hi @springmachine - if Pillow Talk is too dark then I think Velvet Teddy will probably be too dark too. I’ve attached a picture (hopefully - never done it before!) for comparison. L-R they are Charlotte Tilbury Nude Kate, Pillow Talk, MAC Velvet Teddy and the last one is MAC Myth, which might be worth checking? Or perhaps Fleshpot by MAC which looks similarly pale but more pinky from googling (I don’t own it!)

I hope you find the perfect nude - I know the struggle! Smile

sammy891 · 29/01/2019 23:14

Was just going to say Mac Hug Me as well, perfect natural nude.

delboysskinsandblister · 29/01/2019 23:29

@Ratonastick

Thank you very much. I will go and have a try.

I have green/grey eyes and my lips are medium thick but when I smile they disappear. I will go to the CT counter. Cheers!

By Terry Hyaluronic Sheet Rouge Plumping & Hydrating Lipstick in Nudissimo is a very wearable nude, although it is pretty sheer and quite glossy.

LadyLapsang · 30/01/2019 08:27

Sheer! You can buy it at Space NK.
