I'm Asian with NC 35-40 skin but running on the warm end of the skin tone spectrum to the point where a lot of "corals" end up coming up more orange than anything else thanks to my yellow undertone. My lips are highly pigmented with some purple in it, which inadvertently makes me look a bit sickly. This is a MLBB on me without it running too brown, too cool or two purplish as some colors I've tried in the past have. It's like an upgrade on my current lip color without the purple! There's not much of a scent to it, except for a very slight bit that I think is vanilla, but it's so discreet, I can't even tell. It's creamy, but I can't say that it's moisturizing, which is one of the lower points. I'd wear this with a balm to fix that problem, but otherwise, I'm really ecstatic that I finally found a "nude" lippie that works for me!
I'd buy it again and again if Revlon reissues this as it appears that it's being discontinued. I actually meant to go find Soft Rose, the supposed drug store dupe for Nars Dolce Vita, but couldn't find it and momentarily forgot the name as I was standing in the aisle (erm..soft rose..rosey nude....??). Rosey Nude was the only thing there that was "rose" anything on that sparse CVS set-up, so after doing a discreet swatch with a tube that had already been opened, I ended up buying it. If you do a search for swatches between Soft Rose and Rosey Nude, you'll find that they are devastatingly similar, but I quite like Rosey Nude, having never tried the former.
I have no regret buying this, except for the fact that I paid practically $9 for it, which makes it more expensive for a drugstore lippie, but cheaper if my other option was a high end lipstick. Well, after trying it at home, I ended up searching and placing an order on Amazon at a place that only had two tubes of it left. It looks like it's currently an item that's on either discount places, or running low on stock thanks to its discontinued status. Grab it while it lasts, or write an angry letter to Revlon so that they'd reissue it at some point.

Great MLBB for my NC 40 skintone. Its creamy and easy to apply yet drying at the same time. I always put lip balm under any lip product but even then its still quite drying. The colour didn't also last that long. But its pretty cheap (I got it on sale at Shopper's Drug Mart) so I don't mind re applying. I don't think I will repurchase though.

I like the color, but I don't love it. It looks much rosier than it does nude on me, and it's kind of too dark for my taste. I take swipe it on the tip of my ring finger and dab it on my lips to give it a stainy effect. Won't buy it again though.

I used to love this lipstick. My mom got it for herself for last Fall, but discovered that the color aged her, so she offered it to me. Before that lipstick, I stuck to lightly pigmented lip glosses, and getting a big girl lipstick felt nice. I loved the design of the lipstick right away. Color, on the other hand, took time getting used to.
I always thought that warm chocolate color lips are very feminine (Catherine Zeta-Jones in Intolerable Cruelty is a big proof to that), but felt that they are too much for my fair complexion. I have previously tried to find a nude lip color and ended up with yellowish lips that made me look sick (I am a Cool type and cannot take yellow undertones). Rosy Nude turned out to be a good choice for me, as it is warm brown with pink.
As far as application, at first, lipstick felt rich and creamy. I had to dab it on my lips and, like some other girls noted,I had to put on some gloss for more pop. However, I later tried tinted lip balm by Burt's Bees, after which my Rosy Nude lost its appeal.
The color suits me decently well. It will not fight with my complexion, but this shade has a warm undertone, so it will make me look rather boring than appealing. On my lips, the warm brown stands out, rather than looks natural, unfortunately. Moreover, as I tried more lip products, the feel of them became a priority.
When I put Rosy Nude on my lips it feels thick, like putting plasticine on my lips...I prefer lip colors that feel like butter, and this one is certainly not the one. Soon after putting it on I don't feel it's there, moisturizing my lips, like I want it to. I don't like that it has polyethylene because it makes me think of spreading plastic over my lips, and dimethicone, which just coats lips and seals in existing moisture.
I gave it two stars because the color suits me fairly nice, and I appreciate the packaging. Yet, because of how it feels on my lips, I won't be getting anymore of this lipstick line.

I've been looking for a shade like this for a long time! It's actually a salmony, warm pinkish shade, perfect for those with warm coloring who usually shy away from pink. It's hard to find this perfect blend of pink, coral, and brown!
I don't normally care about packaging, but this one looks nice--at a drugstore lipstick cost. I find the color on the lid is a good approximation of the shade inside.
I love that there's no scent or weird chemical taste. And no shimmer or glitter either! It's a smooth cream formula.
I took off one lippie because while this lipstick is not drying, it's not really moisturizing either. I need a little lip balm on top to keep my lips feeling soft. (I add a few dabs of balm after applying the lipstick rather than before. I find that it helps the color adhere better this way.) I love lip balm, so that's no biggie. But to give it a perfect score, I'd like it to be a little more moisturizing.
I find this lipstick to have pretty good staying power. It leaves a delicate stain as it wears off, which is still very pretty.
Overall, I'm really happy to have found such a nice formula and shade for such a low price ($6.50 at Walmart). I would definitely recommend this.

Hi dolls. I've recently purchased this lipstick and I highly recommend them to everyone. I've got nothing else to say because this lipstick is the perfect choice. Ciao!

As the other ladies have said, this is a great warm nude color, perfect to just add a touch of something to your lips. The pigment is great; it successfully covers my duo toned lip color. My only hangup is it makes my lips ever so slightly dry. But I've worn primarily gloss for the past ten years so it may just take some getting used to.

This is a great neutral color that goes with just about anything. I have very pigmented lips and this tones them down a bit and offsets the deep rose of my natural lip color.I think it is on the expensive side for a drugstore brand but the quality is every bit as good as the department store brands. I would have given the overall rating a five but the product did dry my lips out a bit. I use a dab of balm under the lipstick and that really helps. Not super long lasting but I don't mind that one bit. The packaging is really upscale looking. Revlon has done a nice job with that. I also like the color block on the top of the lipstick case. It is easy to pull this one from my collection and find the right color without opening it or hunting for my glasses to read the label! There is a huge color choice in this product line. I only have this one so far. I really need to get a back-up before it is discontinued. I do think, however, that this color might not work with all skin types. I am warm based with light olive/yellow undertones with quite pronounced pigmented lips and it works really well on me.

On my pigmented lips, this is definitely a "my lips, but better" shade. The color is very flattering on my fair-medium, warm skin-tone. It's subtle, but adds just enough color, and works with any make-up look. I love the classy packaging; black with a Chanel-looking, quilted pattern. The top clicks when you close it, reassuring me it's closed securely. Staying power is average; lasts a couple hours but I do have to reapply after eating/drinking. This lipstick does slightly dry out my lips, even though I apply chapstick first, but I don't use it every day so it's not enough to bother me.

Rarely do I try a product and find it so great that I immediately panic that it'll get discontinued. This one I will not rest until I have several backups of it. This is a HG MLBB shade. I have pale neutral-to-cool skin and this simply defines my mouth like nothing else while looking work-appropriate, classy and simple all at once.

Sign of a great lipstick? Ripping the package open in the car, putting it on in the unforgiving natural light of day (sans makeup and sporting my glasses & a ponytail, no less) looking in the rearview mirror and immediately thinking to myself, "YES!" That's what happened with this one and the icing on the cake is that it lasted for a very long time with an even fade. As other reviewers have mentioned, I have been searching for a shade like Rosy Nude for years and have *finally* found it! For reference I am a fair-med., warm/yellow toned, blonde. This shade just "works" on me -- not too pink, brown, orange, rust (you know the drill.). Bonus: It makes me look pulled together and healthy. The formula feels expensive and applies beautifully, too. HG!!! continued >>

I ran out and bought this after reading blooiejagwa's review of it. I'm glad I did! It isn't MLBB - my lips are so pale - but it's a great color! Revlon had a series of nude colors some years ago, and I liked some of them, but think this one is better than any of those.
This color would look good on a lot of people. Others have described the color well - a rosy light-to-medium color with a hint of brown, but no tendency to look terra-cotta (terra-cottas look baaad on me). It definitely lights up my face. Nice texture too, and after a dinner of fried coconut shrimp there was still a teeny bit of color on my lips.
I earlier got the Colorburst in Carnation but don't like that color as well.

My lips are actually bright pink to borderline neon depending on the weather, but this gives me a pretty, toned down MLBB that I much prefer. Lovely formula, not my fave as it's a tad drying, and the colour appears too flat for my liking (i like lustrous finishes) but nothing that can't be fixed with a pop of iridiscent lip gloss on top! A good, versatiilelipstick

My first purchase of Revlon Colorburst lipsticks, and what a great color to start with. It's a beautiful pinky-nude color. It is a soft, pretty color, easy to wear. It stays on amazingly well and is very moisturizing. I plan on picking up another one for a backup. Love!

I've been considering getting this for some time. Today, I found it at my local Walgreens on sale for $2. How could I not get it?
I love the color. On my fair-medium skin, it looks very natural. MLBB. I call it 'nude' since for me that word means 'lipstick-free.' Not 'dead,' or 'ex-sanguine' (bloodless), like those awful concealer beige tones I hate so much. Anyway, this is a color I can wear with or without 'full-face' makeup. On me, it's more on the pink side, but so are my 'l/s-free' lips so it makes perfect sense. The texture is soft and not drying at all. A perfect everyday shade.

This came out to be a very boring color. It showed up to be an orange-brownish tone, which was surprising and disappointing. I was looking for something that was more of a pink-nude tone, hence the "Rose" name, but I didn't see any rose, I just saw a boring light brown with orange tones.

This is a very creamy and rich lipstick that lasts long, almost working as a stain, as many of the Colorburst products do. It's very moisturizing, has no offensive fragrance or taste and is a definite MLBB. It's a very rosy muted red, with dusty pink and slight tawny undertones. It has no shimmer or sparkle, no frost, just a glossy, moist lipstick color. The packaging of these lipsticks is so sturdy and pretty to look at, I am amazed. Will definitely be repurchasing.

Extremely smooth. Slightly shiny. Color is fabulous! And the name really does describe the color very closely. Pleasant scent. Color will be applicable for alot of different skin tones. Also for got to mention how cute I think it is that Revlon is following Chanel in stamping it's name into the side of the actual lipstick product. :-)

I only said "yes" I would buy this lipstick again because there wasn't a "HECK YEAH ABSOLUTELY" option. After being on a quest for the perfect nude lipstick for my NC40 skin for weeks, I finally ran across this gem. I had originally passed on this one and purchased the "soft nude" but soft nude was like concealer lips on me, not flattering. Finally, after "soft nude" and then "Fairest nude" by L'Oreal, I got it right, with Revlon's "Rosy Nude." This is a darker nude with definite rosy undertones (I guess that explains the name...) It reminds me somewhat of that old Avon color "Twig" which used to by my HG lipstick in upper middle & high school, only slightly less brown, and more rosy. This is my definite HG lipstick now- it's reasonably priced at about $7, and Revlon frequently has BOGO 1/2 of sales. It goes on very smoothly, wears evenly, and has decent staying power. There is also no offensive smell to this one. I have 4 shades of the new Revlon lipstick: Rosy Nude, Soft Nude, Peach, and Fuchsia-- Soft Nude is the only one that didn't work for me, and that was only due to my skin tone. This is easily a 5 star lipstick... and the lip glosses in the same line are all 5 stars as well (I have 5 of those.) I think this shade would probably be flattering on most people, as I have worn it during the winter, when I am paler, and during the summer when I have a bit of a tan. I have also worn it is a redhead, a dark blonde/light brunette, and currently with bronze hair (technically the shade is L'Oreal's "light reddish brown"- for reference, it's almost Edward Cullen-colored hair.) I have dark green eyes and medium skin, which can get quite dark if I don't wear sun screen, and can also look downright sallow if I"m sick.
You can't go wrong with this lipstick if you are in the NC25-50 range. continued >>

This is my favorite everyday lipstick these last few months. It is a great rosy neutral-not too bright or opaque- and the formula is great- moisturizing and lasts. Will definitely buy again. I just wish they kept that classic "lipstick" scent that I loved so much.
Update: It is a bit drying, even with lip balm under.
