I want a natural looking lip stick or a crayon or even a gloss but it must be a cool toned shade.

Mustn't be brown at all as that looks grim on me.

I keep finding ones that are just a bit too pink and I almost need a dirty lavender pink ,if that makes sense?

All suggestions gratefully received 😊

Mac Plumful, I'm cool toned, had my colours done by house of colour and am a winter. I find Mac plumful a really easy colour to wear.

Mac twig is good, a my lips but better cool toned pink

Burts bees sedona sands. I tried EVERYTHING. I've neutral toned skin but have the same issues with "nudes" by the sounds.

Have a look at the new locittaine fruity stick lip sticks, there is a purple ish one that might fit the bill.... or the lighter ones. I'll find a link

LoafofSellotape · 11/05/2019 10:42

Mac Plumful is gorgeous but too dark for my thin lips sadly.

Twig is too brown I think from googling.

Burt's Bees is looking hopeful!!

Thanks for the suggestions,I will test them all out because you never know until you see it in the flesh.

I have ordered the Burt's Bees one.

I will investigate the Loccataine one too, thanks.

Burt's Bees one arrived, it's so brown on my lips,I must have really odd lips 🙄

It's not the colour I'm after BUT it's the only 'nude' I've ever been able to wear so it makes a change.

I've ordered Elf Tea Rose so fingers crossed for that on.

Sorry,posted twice

Oh no! I'm sorry to gear about the Burts Bees. I apparently have quite pigmented lips so maybe looks less brown on me but i was sure it would suit. The Elf one looks really promising though - would be far too mauve on me so might be perfect on you. I'm trying to think of the other mauve ones Ive tried. Im sure one was a Clinique Pop nude

Mac syrup or Chanel boy?

LoafofSellotape · 14/05/2019 12:55

I like the BB one,it's not what I was looking for but it does suit me and makes a nice change.Smile

Clinique nude pop looks hopeful!

LoafofSellotape · 14/05/2019 12:58

Syrup and Boy aren't lilac enough but will investigate further,thank you!

Lipstick Queen - The Truth or one of their two other nudes - they are the only ones that are perfect for me and not brown.

Clinique Chubby Stick in Voluptuous Violet looks intensely purple in the tube but when I put it on is sheer and looks natural. I have to wear very cool toned lipsticks as anything else just looks brown or orange on me.

LoafofSellotape · 14/05/2019 13:11

Thanks,looks hopeful!

I don't think that lipstick queen image is right - The Whole Truth is a peachy nude according to their site. That looks more like Tempting Taupe.

LoafofSellotape · 14/05/2019 13:15

L'Oréal used to do nudes that I can't find anywhere now and Essence used to do THE most perfect shade which is now discontinuedHmm

LoafofSellotape · 14/05/2019 13:17

Tempting Taupe looks like it's the one I posted,thanks for the heads up.
