I marked that I would buy this again, but I actually returned it. I wouldn't really call this a nude on me, it's more peach with my coloring. I was hoping it was more of a neutral pink, but the peach undertone was pretty strong. I agree with another reviewer that this is not a color that can be found in other lines, so if you're finding other nudes too light (grey) or too brown, this would be one to try. I personally, wanted something more pink, so I'm going to give the Pale Mauve a try. Update: I did give Pale Mauve a shot, and it is a little pinker and I liked it better, but these lipsticks, I cannot believe the taste or smell of them, it's really awful. It's peppery-perfume that really lingers, and it overwhelmed me. If you can handle the smell, this and the Pale Mauve are not bad colors.

This is as nude as I will go when it comes to lipsticks. Others have described the colour well. It is a nudish lipstick with pink undertones (but not really a cool pink, more neutral). I love wearing this when I wear heavy eye make up. It tones the colour of my lips down a little bit, without making them look deprived of colour. I also love the packaging. It is very similar to the Chanel Rouge Coco packaging, but I like it better because it feels a bit sturdier and the click sounds a bit more expensive (which is completely ridicuous and irrelevant, I know). I only gave it four lippies because I don't like the formula of this lipstick. It is a very heavy and thick formula and I find that I have to pat this lipstick with my finger after applying (applied straight from the tube), otherwise it can look a bit chalky. Perhaps this problem can be solved by using a lipbrush, but I just can't be bothered. Would repurchase though, because I really like the colour and haven't been able to find a similar colour that is this flattering on me anywhere else.

Edit 13/05/2013: I have given this lipstick to someone else, because it just isn't a color I wear very often. I have also lowered the rating to three lippies, because the formula really started to bother me. It was too chalky and made my lips look quite dry.

This is perfectly named, a gorgeous soft pale pink with a hint of warmth, making it great for fair skin. I like the fact that it is a bit nude and not completely cool-toned - I can't wear bluish pinks. For reference, I wear #3 in Armani Silk Foundation, Sand in BB Skin Foundation, or Cream Ivory in Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation. You don't need a liner with Pale Pink, although Bobbi does make a Pale Pink liner that matches it nicely for more definition. This is great to have in your purse for everyday - seems to look good on most fair-skinned people and is neutral enough to be worn with almost anything. My only beef with Bobbi's original Lip Colors is the smell - I wish it were either completely unscented or smelled like MAC (vanilla). Hence, one lippie off. However, I'm loving this even more now that I have tried pairing it with Nars Fantasia lip liner and a dab of MAC Strange Potion gloss which shifts my lip color to a pale coral. Very fetching.

I asked at a BB counter for a l/s close to my natural lip clolour and this is what the MUA showed me. It looks pink in the tube but on the lips its more of a pinky nude. Its lighter than my lips and tones them down to a nice shade. It's a nice colour and looks good on me no matter what colour i have dyed my hair. The only downside is its very drying and for some reason BB lipsticks remind me of crayons-i think its the consistancy and dryness. None the less, i like the colour and would get it again.

If you like MAC's Angel but you want to go for a bit more softer look, Pale Pink is awesome. It's somewhat similar to Angel but more elegant. So far it's my favorite color of Bobbi Brown lip products.

I have a marked tendency to fall in love with products which make me look really good. Strangely enough with as many times as I have changed my haircolor, this lipstick works with all my hair moods.

This lipstick is a fantastic shade of nude pink which makes my skin look like it did when I was an aspiring woman who wore a trainer bra...lol.

the color is not quite pink, not quite beige, not blue based or corally (bluish pink makes me look like a crazed infantile Barbie). The texture is creamy but semi matte and I will always have a balm underneath it and sometimes a clear balm on top.. but the color -- oh the color! I love it with a taupey liner -- like MAC Stone (now disc) or with a taupey eyebrow pencil (W n Wild makes a good one!) as liner -- well blended. Sometimes with a bit of gloss on top either clear or a light pinkish shade.. anything. This color is magnificent! When I wear this color, I am always asked by women what shade it is and by men, if I am still single.. lolol. Hey, whatever works.

I will always have my back up of this color.

i wouldnt consider this pale pink at all. it is a darker nude with pink tones to it. i usually prefer a more pale nude but this is a universally flattering shade that i would repurchase, if my stash had to be limited / pared down to much fewer items.

This is truly the best nude/pink on the market today. I complimented a gal pal of mine on it years ago and asked her what it was. This is the 4th tube I have bought. I wear it in between my "red and watermelon attacks". But for everyday business, with either the Stila #9 lip liner or the Flush by Benefit, this works well. I am brown hair w/blonde highlights, fair to medium and love to wear dark eye liner. This works and yes, I would purchase again. So thrilled to see the 100% reivews. I do disagree that this color can be found in any line, I have tried.

This lipstick really is a cool, pale pink/nude. I wasn't sure if I would suit it or if it would look to pale on me, but it doesn't. It is quite expensive for a lipstick. I'm not sure if I will buy it again because the color is quite generic - you'd probably be able to find a similar one in lots of different makeup lines. Overall, I used to wear this colour everyday to work along with Bobbi Brown blush - Desert Rose - they make a nice combination. But, I've only ever worn it to work - never at night in the weekends. The color can br quite boring ... but it's a good staple.

LOVE this! I always go back to this lipstick. It is a perfect not too pale pink that looks great with just about any gloss over it. My favorite gloss to top it with is MAC prrr or BB pink quartz. I am a cool skin blonde with blue eyes for reference. I reach for this all the time, whether I am doing cool or warm eyes or pink or peach blush.

Probably the prettiest pale pink lipstick I have ever used.The color is a true neutral pink,very pale as the name implies. It looks especially nice with a bronzed smoky eye.For reference,I have blonde hair,blue eyes,NW20. I do find Bobbi's lipsticks to be drying,but using a primer beforehand or gloss over them remedies that.
