    I got this from a lovely swapper here on MUA and this is my first Amplified Creme Lipstick. To be so creamy, this is quite drying and that is why I took a lippie off. No biggie, I just swipe some...

    I think Half n Half looks best on olive to dark skinned ladies. Its a creamy pink based brown, and it does kind of look like coffee with milk. Very soft and natural and the creamy texture makes it...

    With my yellow coloring, Half-n-Half is absolutely beautiful on me. I can wear this with pinks or with browns (clothing that is) if I just use a different gloss on it. Gorgeous.

    I think finding the perfect nude lipstick for anyone is a personal thing. What might work for me will not work for some others. Given my warm coloring...NC 30-42, and the strong yellow undertones...

    I was torn on this one. The color DOES NOT work with a pale/nude lip liner. It needs a darker liner and some blending of the lipstick/liner. When I wear it with a lighter lip liner, the color is...

    I am a cool, PPP with light-medium pigmented lips. I love the Amplified Cremes, but this was a poor color choice for me. I so wanted this to work but Half n' Half was too orange/brown on me.

    Oh dear, so I made the fatal mistake of not trying this lipstick on. There was some great advice for darker skinned ladies in MUA - try before you buy, but I didn't because I was just so greedy! I...

    This is my "go to" daily lipstick. I wear it all year long because it is so neutral, most glosses look great over it too. You can't beat the price and the Back to MAC program is wonderful!

    This color is horrible on me (too gray) and for some reason (as another reviewer stated) it feels dry and cakey on my lips. I am returning it. Edit: It looks much better with lipglass over it,...

    I really like Half n Half - I usually wear more of a pinky nude, and although I have pale skin this gives me a much paler lip than I'm used to, but because I'm quite tanned this looks good. I put...

    I don't see this as nude! To me it's a dark mauve. I need this to be lighter. I could have just stuck with my Loreal Saucy Mauve that I wore in the 80's.

    This shade is a light to medium beige, with a pink undertone. It is just OK. I am a C3, and it is not the most flattering nude I have worn. It is a little too 'warm' for me. I keep trying to...

    I didn't find this color to be drying at all, my lipstick is quite creamy in texture. The color is a brownie-coffee nude color, it's not the HG of nude lipsticks, but it is a really pretty color. I...
