These are my current favourite nude lipsticks. All of these have a smooth texture - even the matte one. The formula of all these are very creamy so its comfortable when applied on the lips. For reference, I am an NC20/NC25 and these colours don't wash me out whatsoever.

Just some quick pics and swatches from the new MAC cosmetics Illustrated Face Kit by Rebecca Moses ($58 CA). There are different kits in this collection, and have been available since July 4th. I believe these are The Bay exclusive (as i have not seen it from a MAC store).

This is my first kit from MAC, and this did not disappoint. The eyeshadows are finely milled, not powdery at all, and are easy to blend. The blush(Melba) is gorgeous and i think will look good on most skin tones. I am also loving the lipsticks that came in with this kit. Myth is a tad bit too pale against my skin tone, but its a good colour when combined with Ravishing. Aaaand since most of the products in this kit i do not own, it was a no brainer for me to buy this (yay for new makeup!)
