Do you pale, cool toned Beautylishers have a nude, My Lips But Better lipstick that looks good with your skin and isn't too dark? I have a few nude shades, but I feel like they're all too dark to be a true MLBB shade on me, they look slightly bolder than what I'm going for but I haven't found any shades suited for hella fair skin, any ideas? I prefer either matte or glossy, I don't really like satin finishes on me personally. Thank you in advance!!

I'm confused, are you looking for a nude shade or a MLBB shade? They're different concepts, a nude kind of blanks out your lips so that they don't compete with your dramatic eye looks (if that makes sense) while My Lips But Better is exactly what the name implies, a lip color that enhances your natural lip shade (:

I guess than an MLBB shade, sorry for the confusion! I've heard the term interchangeably in the past, I didn't know that there was a real difference between the two.

They're definitely different but I can understand the confusion, lol. For example my perfect nude is Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Color in Milky Way, which is a pale brown, and my perfect MLBB is NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien, which looks exactly like the color of my lips only with a satin finish.

Finding your MLBB shade is just pure trial and error, I think. I was lucky enough to just stumble upon my perfect MLBB color but if I had to look for it on my own I would really take the time to interpret my natural lip color and undertone (for instance I would say I have warm toned deep pink lips) and then look for lip colors with similar properties as my natural lip color (:

I really like SoftSpoken from NYX's new LipSuede. But yes, Jeffree Star has some amazing nude colors & mixable shades. Also try LASplash cosmetics! "charmed" is a great color.

A good idea is to look for swatches on different skin tones, so you could see which one looks better :)

I use the Mac Prolongwear pencil in cultured. It's my best MLBB color. It's slightly peach toned which fits my lip color better than any pinks I've tried.

I'm also pale with a cool skin tone and my everyday MLBB lipstick is Estee Lauder's Crystal Baby :)

It's different for everyone, but as a pale gal myself, my perfect mlbb shade is l'oreal infallible longwear lip color in permanent blush. It's beautiful, and really comfortable to wear.

I think it has less to do with your skin color and more to do with your lip color. I would just go to a counter with just lip balm on and browse for a color that's pretty much your color but makes it all even and you could get a slight different tone, it's about preference on that part.

You can get a handful of fair girls but their natural lip colors can look completely different.

I love the nars rikugien lip pencil (you can get it for free from Sephora on your birthday)
