I'm a neutral skin tone - best I can tell anyway - and don't wear n*des nor would I ever wear a soft pink.  Actually don't wear pink lipstick at all.  Not really sure what "balanced n*des" means.  My favorite "go with anything" lipstick is by L'Oreal called "Worth It."   It's a neutral shade with some punch to it.  


@JudyL.  Thanks for the suggestion, I ordered your favorite.  Nudes and pinks cant even be seen on me.


@Kachina624  - Oh, I do hope you like it!  I also have the lip pencil and lip gloss called Worth It.  There is also a Worth It Medium but I don't wear that one as much as I do the regular Worth It.  Let me know what you think of it when you get it.

[ Edited ]

current faves: Rum Raisin by Revlon. I have the lipstick and tinted balm

Beam There Done That by MAC. a soft rose

Perfect Fig by Lancome

Divine Crystal tinted balm, EL

I like how I look in the brownish-pink nudes. They also tend to make teeth look whiter 

My complexion is a definite neutral light leaning very slightly warm

 

Also: I notice that the cooler tones in nail color flatter my skin tone more than warm shades, which make my skin looke yellow. I wonder why

@Toots711   Yes, I agree. It's the depth of color, too that matters. A person, like me, can be a fair cool with silver hair and need a medium pink/rose shade. When I had dark hair, I wore a much lighter nude/pink shade. It's all about contrast.

@bargainsgirl 

Gina Cicero is a makeup artist based in Canada, I think. 
This chart popped up in Facebook. 
If I find a chart geared toward eye colors, I will post.

Re: *** Lipstick Shade Guide ***

💯% accurate!  I am a cool underton all the way and those are the shades of lipsticks I wear!

I've tried everything that would look good on a cool-toned complexion.

 

Without fail, the all-time best, most flattering color on me is a pinkish, rosy coral shade.   It brightens up my skin and makes my blue eyes look even bluer.

 

I've actually stopped looking for new lipstick shades!  How many women can say that?
