I thought I would share this because I have been trying to find a 'nude' lip look for months. I have a kinda golden caramely undertone to my skin so most 'nude' lipcolors that works for the majority of women make me look dead. I have too much warmth to my skin.
But I went to Sephora in Willowbrook Mall thsi weekend out by me and there was a girl with a similar complexion to mine. I wish I had gotten her name because I'd go back to her everytime.
She gave me the same brand she uses for herself and its perfect-reduces the pink in my lips and gives a glossy shine.
The lipstic and lipgloss are both by Nars-not cheap but its the perfect color so its a small splurge. I've paid far more the MANY cheap ones in CVS that turned out to be the wrong color.
Lipstick: Belle DuJour Lipgloss: Stolen Kisses
Hope it helps someone!

YW! yea I have really pink lips too so I never get that Eva Longoria look with most. But the lipstick mattes out your lip to bring it to a nuder neutral color yet still has some warmth to it so its more of an orangey beige than a brown beige if that makes sense, so we don't look dead.
Then apply the gloss over it-looks totally neutral and you get the Eva look.
