In the past when I have matched foundation to only my face & purchased it - it has always turned out to be lighter than my neck. So I test it on my neck. If it matches my neck - the overall appearance is even - you don't get the dreaded mask effect :)<br /><br />I also initially imagined all sorts of pink browns & mauve shades as my nude. It was only when I looked closely at Kareena's makeup that I realised I was mixing up MLBB & Nude :)Tanveerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816048020201421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-54740334020853887962012-08-09T00:51:36.621+10:002012-08-09T00:51:36.621+10:00Mac Taupe seems like a favorite! :DMac Taupe seems like a favorite! :DTanveerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816048020201421679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-83468215211017449332012-08-09T00:50:55.218+10:002012-08-09T00:50:55.218+10:00I tried Taupe - it was too dark for me.

But quite coincidently i found 2 lipsticks which look nude on mine.Revlon's cocoa sheer and streetwear's éclairs. I bought both on impulse without even thinking abt this 'nude lip thing' and when i used it it made my lips look perfect . They are not longlasting but it works !I love cocoa sheer to bits and have been using the shade practically everyday for work and for sober occasions from past 5 years.recently i came to know abt velvet teddy yet to try on my lips and decide !Zee Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08960189084290394208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-5740905373263722272012-08-08T08:41:54.062+10:002012-08-08T08:41:54.062+10:00I loved this feature.

Lemme share my secret of a nude perfect lip that is neither too orange or too beige.<br />Apply the same foundation or concealer that you used on ur face to hide the natural rosiness of the lip. In darker lips it evens them to proper skin color.<br />Then slick on some clear or rosy tinted gloss for a glossy mouth or apply a lip tint like Benefit Posie tint for subtle rosy lips.<br />If someone insists on applying a lipstick pick up your favorite pink and mix with a bit of MAC Flesh pot to get the color. Nude lips are good for all and can look better if done carefully.Beauty Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234032526817152762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-53800961057963364542012-08-08T02:53:12.532+10:002012-08-08T02:53:12.532+10:00Hii Tanveer!

I guess the closest I've come to is Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in 'Crazy for Coffee'. I've also looked for that perfect brown which wouldn't be too orangy or too ashy on me. I haven't been as successful in this case.Flavourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326645497346163821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-77669466808631309342012-08-07T17:53:16.788+10:002012-08-07T17:53:16.788+10:00This is a very interesting feature!! infact I sens...This is a very interesting feature!! infact I sense u have a v.good understanding of what to mix/match whr/ with what! i read somewhere on ur blog that u match ur foundation to ur neck tone (i think) now thats something that wud never strike me..but it makes soo much sense!! :D<br />I have about 4 pink-browns which I thought were nude..but only one is close to being a nude..I think! :-/Kejal Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187726758057989926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-7285331516993566852012-08-07T17:17:16.220+10:002012-08-07T17:17:16.220+10:00Not found my perfect nude either although my skin ...Not found my perfect nude either although my skin complexion is like opposite to yours..for me the challenge is not to look like a ghost with too light lipsticks..peachy and coffee browns are okay for me..Colorbar Creme Cup and Mac Taupe works for meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019348288087010170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-33787179604105613212012-08-07T17:02:13.978+10:002012-08-07T17:02:13.978+10:00I am yet to find my perfect nude but MAC's Tau...I am yet to find my perfect nude but MAC's Taupe and Bobbi Brown's Brownie Pink is not doing a bad job till date:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318304571724838550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590156564811390540.post-77126810886302101542012-08-07T15:49:32.931+10:002012-08-07T15:49:32.931+10:00I am superrrr excited for this new feature Tanz :D...I am superrrr excited for this new feature Tanz :D ... we are poles apart in terms of skin coloring but nevertheless am looking for your reccos .. it will help me out in some or the other way am sure :D :D ...<br />i tried all the 3 shades you suggested but your conclusion is the best " unless I hire a personal MUA who can create my own special foundation nude lipstick "<br /><br />my search for perfect nude lipstick made me buy so many shades from MAC ...
