What pinky/nude lipsticks can you recommend?

I would try a mac one and they last xx

I'm no good for recommending brands and types etc but a good tip that a friend once told me is that when shopping for a really natural looking, flattering lipstick, pull your lip forward and try and match the colour to your inner lip IYKWIM. That way you can be sure it suits your skin tone etc

Sounds silly but it works for me!

Hands down best lipstick I've ever worn (I don't wear lipstick because I hate it usually) is Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colour in Rose Petal. It's not as dark as it looks online, it feels smooth like a gloss, and gorgeous!

If you want something gorgeous, but more similar to a lip balm, I cannot recommend Yves Saint Laurant Volupte Sheer Candy enough, I wear it in no. 2, and the colour is very minimal. The other colours are more apparent if you want that. They also smell amazing. But they feel even better!! They're expensive, but WELL worth the price:

They look lovely!

I know I need to go and have a mooch round the shops but I hate the lighting in department stores and the amount of times I have bought something only to get home and find out its really nothing like I thought!

Mac's Hue is a fab neutral shade. It looks quite dark on the website but is nothing like that.

You're prob best going into a store like Debenhams and trying a few cos they always look different on.

Revlon 'Just Bitten' ( i think its called!) is a great lip stain, the pinkest shade is what i used and it really isnt as dark is it looks !

Also, even if you Do select a light or pale colour, they will look different on you to tohers as everyones lip colour holds these differently!

Clinique Buttershine lipsticks are gorgeous - I use them on all my brides. They look like a gloss on the lips but feel like a lipbalm. They are applied like a normally lipstick. They look amazing on camera too. I can recommend Baby Baby or Pink a Boo - both are beautiful shades. Juliet x

I bought one of these on Juliet's recommendation, and I am now a big fan.

Aww that's really great to hear! Juliet x

Thanks for the suggestions ladies!

Think a trip to Debenhams is in order

I dont normally wear lipstick and only like nude shades. The 2 I really like or Rimmel Nude Delight and Mac Myth. Myth can be a bit full on though so only apply light and blend. Hue is nice too
