Best peach toned nude lipstick?

39 replies

McDougal · 17/02/2021 19:08

I need serious help because beauty pie haven't had my absolute holy grail nude in in months.

If anyone is familiar with Beauty Pie, the lipstick I'm referring to is their future lipstick luxe shine in the shade Master Sweet. For me, it's one of those my lips but better shades that manages to perk the rest of my face right up so I don't look like such a zombie on teams calls.

On the site, they say it's a peach toned nude but no other brand seems to refer to nudes as peach toned. I'm a little pale so really trying to stay away from colours that wash me out anymore. Any ideas? I'm getting desperate!

Nars do great lipsticks in my opinion. Have you looked at their Audacious line? I love 'Anita'.

I really like Bitch Perfect by Charlotte Tilbury. It has a flattering peach warmth, unlike Pillow Talk which made me look like I'd been dug up!

McDougal · 17/02/2021 20:03

I haven't tried Nars but I'll definitely have a look ilike. Any recommendations for a glossier finish as matte does me no favours?

Send I had the same experience with Pillow Talk so a bit wary of CT. Is it moisturising?

I love peach blossom by Mac. It's not drying at all, lasts for ages on me and is exactly like you say - similar to my own lips but just slightly better with a slight lustre. The cremesheen formulation is really gorgeous. People often comment on it and I know quite a few friends have adopted it as their secret weapon for everyday too. 👍🏻 I don't think any other lippie from the big brands compares at all.

Procrastatron · 17/02/2021 20:42

OMG @Sendmetobarbados that’s the best description of pillow talk!

emsyj37 · 17/02/2021 20:50

Have you tried Nude Blush as an alternative to Master Sweet? Nude Blush is my favourite ever 'my lips but better' shade and it looks pretty similar.

McDougal · 17/02/2021 20:50

Curly my only concern about peach blossom is it's described as a frosted cool nude. Does it look frosted when on? The images on the Mac site make it look really light so I'm worried it'll wash me out!

emsy I think it looks a bit more orange so not sure. It's also not in stock. What is going on with Beauty Pie and stock atm?

Oh is it not in stock?? Sad
It isn't remotely orange on me, just a true lip shade (I'm blonde with fair skin). It is the exact colour my lips were before I got old and all the colour drained out of them.
Nars Sheer in Dolce Vita is very similar but more pinky toned.

Not able to get a good swatch of the lipstick you have to see the colour, can you post photos?

If not, Mac velvet teddy is really popular

curlytops21 · 17/02/2021 21:07

Does this help?

And another on my hand so you can see the texture.

curlytops21 · 17/02/2021 21:10

Whoops that didn't work...

emsyj37 · 17/02/2021 21:16

Velvet Teddy is much darker than Master Sweet IMO. It gives me a similar 'dug up' look to pillow talk.

McDougal · 17/02/2021 21:17

I think I'm cursed when it comes to finding something in stock. *

Curly* thank you! It looks a completely different colour on you to how it looks on your hand. I might give it a go or maybe try a mini and see if it suits me.

I don't think I have any photos Jackie. Velvet teddy is too matte for me when I've tried a tester in the past.

With master sweet, it's my lips but better but with a nice sheen. Not super shiny like a gloss but more than a satin. I do realise how fussy I'm being Blush

Fes shade is peach toned

Mac x nic chapman if you can find it is really lovely

I'm a pale redhead and lipstick queen the truth is my perfect nude but I think it's sold out everywhere

This in shade "blush" might work

Or this in shade "honey"

Same for me I was so excited to get pillow talk and I looked instantly Ill when I put it on
McDougal · 17/02/2021 21:55

Thanks Queen. I tried the 'try on' for the Bobbi Brown ones and they seem a little pale unfortunately. I think I need something warmer otherwise I'm corpse like. I don't think I realised how difficult my colouring is before!

Super Cindy by Charlotte Tilbury

Jackie2022 · 18/02/2021 01:29

Is the beauty pie a sheer lipstick?

Sendmetobarbados · 18/02/2021 10:40

@McDougal I'd say Bitch Perfect has a bit of moisture in it. Not completely matte but if you wanted an added moisture boost or a bit of sheen I'd put a balm underneath.

Sendmetobarbados · 18/02/2021 10:41

Ha, @procrastatron Grin Pillow Talk really washes me out. Just don't understand the hype!

Sendmetobarbados · 18/02/2021 10:47

Oh, also just to say I've made so many mistakes with corpse-like lippie shades that I regularly blend different colours now. Eg I had a disaster with a washed out Mac shade called Kinda Sexy. Instead of binning it I use it as a base colour then add a bit of an orange shade on top (something like Atomic Orange by Bobbi Brown). It gives the perfect warmed-up daytime colour. You could try mixing lipsticks?

ElspethFlashman · 18/02/2021 11:32

Peach Blossom is definitely not frosted. It just looks like a normal satin finish.

It's very nice, I'm very pink toned and it's the only peach I can really get away with that doesn't turn orange on me.
