This is my go-to lip color for everyday wear or for evening when I'm wearing bold eye colors.

Nudes are hard for me to pull off, but the cool pink in this makes it work without looking like I've applied foundation to my lips. I like that this is the lustre formula so it's not shiny but also drying.

This pairs well with the Mac Beurre cremestick liner and Boybait cremesheen for a more defined look.

I did have to repurchase this while it was still available due to a child digging through my purse (I was able to save the original and put it in a pot!), but I am sad that this was discontinued.

I got this lipstick in a swap and it's the perfect pinky nude. Perfect. I cannot wear pink lipstick at all. I look ridiculous. But this pink is different. It's almost more nude than pink so I think that's why I can pull it off. It's so soft and moisturizing. The lustre finish leaves a slight glossiness which is perfect on the run or if you don't wanna add lipgloss. I obviously would repurchase but it's discontinued so I'll use mine sparingly. I think similar colors are Blankety(a tad more brown)and Creme Cup(a tad more pink) but neither are dupes.

If you have really pigmented lips, try this. I love it soooo much. It goes great with dark smokey eyes. The only 2 problems are: 1. It's discontinued. 2. Kinda pricey since its sheer and I want to use it everyday! (but I can't because it's d/c) Ahhh!

A sheer, beige-grey-pink lipstick. Not drying for a MAC lipstick, and is not overly sheer. As an NC20, this lipstick gives me a nude lip without making me look too dead. Can't place my finger on it, but this is definitely an unique color. It's a nude that you don't have to be too conscious about pairing up your eye look with -- I can have just eyeliner on and wear this one without feeling odd. Overall, I like this lipstick, and have purchased a backup from my local CCO.

This is my favorite lipstick by MAC. it is a lustre so it is very creamy and shiny and no need for a lipgloss over it. in my opinion, it is the best nude that MAC has come out with! can be worn with practically anything, very versitile!

One of the best lipsticks I have ever tried!!! Pink/mauve/hint of lavender. Moisturizing. Sheer. Hydrating. Great!!! But if lips are dried out, it looks horrible. Not so obvious pearl.
Great product. I am so sad it is LE

I spotted this mauve-ish nude shade with a touch of grey at the MAC counter and it was instant love, as some other reviewers have noted. That said, I also assumed that it would be too light for my NC35/40 skin, since my lips tend to "eat up" softer lipstick and gloss shades. Moreover, mauve makeup generally looks horrific on me. Happily, I was wrong on both counts - this is a beautiful lipstick, and easily one of my favorites ever (and this is saying a lot). It is a lustre formula, which means that it is rather sheer and glossy but also more moisturizing than a matte lipstick. Myself lends a soft look appropriate for day or night, and it looks fantastic on top of MAC Subculture lip liner and with a touch of MAC Glamour for All lip glass on top. Glamour for All is a very close match in terms of shade, and it lends Myself a more opaque, creamy quality. I have already purchased a back-up of Myself *and* Glamour for All, as they are both LE...and yes, I have contacted MAC to beg them to make both of these items permanent!!! Myself is a wonderful investment - it is suitable for all seasons and times of day . I highly recommend this shade and MAC's lustre lipsticks in general.

from the moment i saw this at my local counter i really wanted it. I finally got talked into getting it today by my husband,which was a good thing since it was the last one. Its like MLBB (i have no pigment to my lips to let you know). Its very soft and shiny its like as if i had normally pigmented lips w/ a gloss or chapstick on.
Edit: Ok so i liked it but my husband hated it, said it looked like corps lips as well as my Creme de Nude :(

This is my new favorite lipstick. I'm normally not a lipstick person. For some reason lipstick always looks really bad on me, including nudes. But this gives me the perfect color. Slightly cool-toned, not too frosty. Just perfect!! I bought 2 back-ups lol since this will probably be one of the few lipsticks I'll ever look ok in :)

This is a really smooth and creamy color that's quite wearable. It is very close to my natural lip color, only adding a slightly beigey lavender tinge to it. The lavender is only very very subtle, so don't expect to see purple lips. I am NC30 and this looks pretty cute on me.

I didn't like this at first. It looks like a sheer butterfly-wing lavender-taupe on my nude lips, which washes me out. But then I discovered that it's the *perfect* top layer to add dimension and a certain je ne sais quoi to nude lipliners. MUFE Aqua liner #5 over the whole lip, followed by a layer of Myself, concentrated in the middle of the upper and lower lips, is my magic combination, and looks great with Personal Style blush, from the same MAC collection. The result is a beautiful, perfectly balanced pinky-nude lip, neither too warm nor too cool. And the luster formula is one of my favorites: SO comfortable to wear.

This lipstick really surprised me. I got it on a whim when i went to the MAC store with my sister, who suggested it to me. I thought okay and i got it. I was a little apprehensive at first because even though this lippie seems like a wearable beige it also looks like it has a mauve tone to it, which to be frank, i wasn't sure would look good on my NC30 skintone. I tried it and let me tell you, this color is very flattering. I think it's the mauveness that makes this beige interesting and not boring. My favortie way to wear it so far is with plum smokey eyes. I find that that combo looks really good.

This is a very pretty color for an almost nude lip. I use a slightly darker lipliner with it and fill my lips in then put this color over the top. Then I use a little gloss with whatever color I want to compliment my other makeup with and my lips look great. Nice texture and good wear mean that I will continue to use this lip color often.

Originally I passed up on this entire collection (except for Universal Mix, only thing that caught my eye).

Colors like Equality, C2R, Myth, Creme dnude look HORRIBLE on me. Like wash me out! And I'm an NC20-25.

The MUA said that this color would look better on me, and it does. It doesn't kill the color in my face.

Only thing is, I can't wear this alone. I need to wear eye makeup with it, etc. I like to use blushcreme brit wit with it, because its similarly colored.

Both very pretty mauvey plummy, but not deep, colors.

I also love sheer lustre/glazes without shimmers. Colors that you can just pile up on.

I was a bit weary of trying this color .. but I was really suprised how wearable this color is.. I am really fair skinned with a very pink undertone and have a hard time finding that perfect neutral color but this really works well on me.. I was so so happy I had to buy two since its limited .. I would recommend this to fair complexion like myself and have seen it on other skin tones I really love this lipstick alot !! I do like this when paired with stone lipliner ..

Amazing lustre lipstick from MAC. If you ever loved that lavender lip but because of your yellow undertone, you can't quite pull off lavender, this lipstick is for you! It is mauvy pink nude on lips, with a hint of lavender, but not overwhelming and won't wash you out. I LOVE this lipstick. I see no pearl by the way. But for reference, since this is limited, I'll say Blankety has a similar effect, but is slightly more browned. Signature vanilla scent from MAC, creamy texture and I simply love it!

I had high hopes for this shade before seeing it in person because the website described it as a “light dirty mauve with traveling pearl”. When I checked it out, I was disappointed to see no hint of mauve. I do see pearl – not sure if it’s traveling or not? It’s definitely a nude colour and probably very wearable and flattering to many different colourings which I suppose was the point of the All Ages, All Races, All Sexes collection. I tried it on anyway and ended up buying it because it looks nice on me. My lips are very pink but not usually very strongly pigmented. It’s sheer and pearly and there are probably a lot of similar colours out there in a gloss form. I don’t think I own any dupes though and I always like how the MAC Lustre formula feels on my lips so I’m happy with my purchase.

This lipstick is ok. The color looks amazing on the tube, but the color payoff is minimum. I bought it because i love it with the Glamor All lip gloss. But i would not repurchase it again (even if it was on the permanant collection) I will keep it, as i am using it with the lipgloss, but by itself it hardly shows on my lips.
