Went into Mac and asked for a shade lighter than Creme in Your Coffee (my "serious" business-y or evening color) - Modesty was recommended. On my NW20 quite cool/rosy skin with fairly pigmented...

Love this color!! It reminds me of midi-mauve. Medium pink with blueish undertones. Goes on easy!! Perfect for fair ladies. It makes me feel pretty wearing this! I love the creme sheen types!

Perfect everyday lipstick. Hard to find a neutral color that isn't too cool or too washed out but Modesty is the right blend of pinky brown. Great formula too.

I'm very pale and cool toned with dry lips. It's super moisturizing. A beautiful neutral nude pink. It never skews orange for pale skin tones who have that problem with "nude" lipsticks. It makes...

This is very natural pink that's a great everyday color. It's not too far off from my natural lip color. Modesty fades gracefully so you don't have to keep touching up. Very wearable and good for...

This color in the tube looks like it could be another mauve nude, but it actually looks quite dark mauve on my light to medium skin tone. I love it though! However, I am not a fan of the Mac...

My favorite nude Mac lipstick. Your lips but perfect, not better, perfect. It is not drying, feels nice on your lips. You do have to reapply after a few hours. I find lipsticks that are not drying...

This isn't a bad color, I really like the creamsheen formula. Reason I would not rebuy is that it has a gray undertone that pulls kind of strongly on me. Patisserie, Syrup,and Brave are similar...

Absolutely gorgeous. On me (NC 20, dark blonde) this is the perfect fleshy nudey-yet-slightly-rosy pink; my lips but sexier, if that makes sense. It has climbed on top of my list of favourite...
