I'm having trouble finding the best neutral/cool toned nude lipstick. I love blue undertone pinks, reds and purples and really need those colors in my collection but i've also been in a nude lip and smokey eye mood for awhile now and wanna find a lipstick that's the perfect nude lip. A slightly milky/opaque quality is fine, and some shine/moisture is great, but I want to find a shade that DOESN'T lean toward orangey concealer- Revlon's matte nude lipstick. I know dabbling on some concealer to exfoliated and moisturized lips, then adding a color that can be muted in combo with the concealer base is a good idea but getting a great nude shade would be easier to smooth on, w.o. even a lip pencil on really busy mornings. I want to find a great nude lip liner, too- My complexion is cool/neutral with ruddy, high color in my cheeks.
MAC lipstick in Myth! It doesn't lean on the orange or coral or pink side, it's pure nude. MAC has a nude lip liner, but I don't think spending that much money is worth it for most lip liners. Sally's sells awesome nude liners and I'm sure you could find a decent drug store one too.
Style is an inside thing for me. I need to look beautiful from my skin instead of just glamorous lipsticks and makeup. Lately I’ve been using Promaxyl skin care products and it truly works. I mean, I hate experimenting with my skin care range but Promaxyl is one thing that I love using and would recommend the same for a younger looking skin. http://www.yourskinlooksgreat.com
Did you check out Revlon Super Lusterous Lipstick in Mink? Its a cream (not a matte). Its far from looking like a concealer. The shine is slight and the shade is buildable as well. I also agree with Christina L. MAC lipstick is Myth is a straight up nude and you can't go wrong with that one. I used to wear that one under MAC love nectar lipglass. If I wear it by itself I look like a corpse.lol
try Marks "Gloss on" in shade SunSet Beach. Or to be honest use a tinted lip balm. They arnt too heavily colored and they will bring out the natural color of your lips plus they moisturise :)
But if you really are set on a lipstick you could try Avons "Healthy Makeup" lipsticks. they are all spf, have intense moisturiseing, and they come in really nice pale pin/coral colors.

If you're a fan of cooler tones, I'd recommend MAC's Creme Cup. It's a very soft pink-beige.
