I like Doris Dalton's Nude Lip set(lipstick and gloss) for around 25.00

I also like Brownie Pink by Bobbi Brown

Utrban Decay has some beautiful matte Neutrals-can't remember the names but there is a whole row of them in Ulta, and they were really pretty.....

I am sure you will get more ideas as well!

I like Je Nais Se Quoi from IT. I got a holiday set from them last year and it's their lightest one. It's almost like not having a lip color at all. Just a nice neutral hint with shine. But if you do want some color probably not for you. But if you want just a little something, it's a good pick.

Chanel Coco Rouge Mademoiselle. It is one of their most popular shades. I find if I want this shade to look more peach, I outline my lips and fill in with a more coppery lip liner. If I want it to be more pink, I outline and fill in with a more brown pink.

Another winner is MAC Soar Lip Pencil with Twig lipstick. This is a great pink brown combination that does not wash you out.

Inexpensive and long lasting, Maybelline has a line called the Buffs.

Skin tone, hair coloring, and lip pigmentation make colors look very different on different people. I recommend finding a beauty blogger who has a similar skin tone and hair color to your own and seeing what looks best on her.

This is so true- while I love a neutral lip color some are so washed out looking on me, they barely enhance my lips. My skin is medium shade, with yellow undertones.

I have tan/olive skin tone with yellow undertones, so I have to be careful to choose a Nude lip with some pink in it or I look very washed out, actually bronzy colors look best on me........I would love to be able to wear a peachy tone lip color, but have never found one that looks good! So yes skintone plays a big part in what will look good on you.

@Just4Me

So many good ideas before me^^!

Thought to consider...if you're going to be in pictures, a nude lip might wash you out in photographs. If not, look your fabulous best! I swear the 'nude lip' is the Holy Grail! Hee

I love Suzanne Organics lipsticks. The 'Honey Glow' is pinkish, but nude for me.

My coloring is 'cool', therefore nothing with an orange-y/brown is good for me.

Both of Candlequeen's suggestions are very good.

Lisa Eldridge just did a great video on how to pick a nude lip color and a blog post giving suggestions by skin tone. Visit lisaeldridge.com

I still think that "Nars Orgasm" is one of the best colors.

For lips and cheeks. Looks good in pictures too.
