natural looking lipstick - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Does anyone know of a natural looking lipstick color that looks like your lips, just a little darker? My lips are naturally pink. I also have dark hair, hazel eyes and tan skin. Any ideas?

Hi StLouisGirl,

I absolutely love Aveda lip tint. It has SPF 15 and resembles a chapstick. Peony is a great pink (like natural lips but darker) and Spice is a great neutral bronze (it offsets tan). They're $11 each and if you want them to appear super-glossy, apply a lipbalm like Carmex (the kind in the tube) first and then the Aveda.

Hope this helps!

Neutrogena has some lip tints that are very similar to Aveda and much cheaper. I didn't really like either product though. The reason is that I want my lips to look natural too and not glossy.

I now use Revlon Colorstay Overtime Sheer Lip Color in Sheer Champagne. In the tube it looks a little orange but on my lips it's the most natural nude color without too much pink or too much brown. I don't really use the gloss end because I like the way my lips look without it. Another good color that alot of people on MUA seem to like is the Sheer Nude but it was just a tad bit too pink for my skin since I have more yellow undertones.
