This is the slighty pinker and just a tad cooler toned sister of Fairest nude which I love. I like this but prefer the more neutral undertone of Fairest Nude so I wouldn't buy this again but a great nude for you if Fairest Nude wasn't quite pink enough for you.

OK, I don't know from Fairest Nude but this is a great nude lipstick shade and I love the texture, nice and creamy and nearly matte on me. NO SPARKLES! I found it for $5 at Bed and Bath. Typical L'Oreal plastic tube but a good product. It's nice that they're stamping their name on the bullet, just like the high-price girls. A good buy.

I agree with the reviewers that say this is very similar to Fairest Nude, except ever so slightly more cool toned. Nonetheless, I still like the color. I have NC30/35 skintone and this is a very wearable nude for me. The texture is nice and creamy, but stays in place. I only took off once lippie because of the price-8.99 is a bit high for a d/s lipstick. Also, I don't love the smell. I prefer subtle or no smell at all and this is a bit strong for me.

Everyone before me was right...it's an exact dupe of Fairest Nude. I love Fairest Nude, but I feel like I now have 2 tubes. The only difference is the packaging & the fact that it's an L/E. They might look slightly different in the tube (if you squint) but really, they look the same. I took a pic of the 2 shades to show you the "difference".

As the other reviewers have stated, this is nearly identical (but not dead-on identical) to the L'oreal Colour Riche lipstick in 'Fairest Nude'. The difference between the colors is that 'Sultry Raven's Pout' comes off slightly more peachy when swatched on my hands and lips; 'Fairest Nude', on the other hand, is slightly more cooler, as it has a bit more grey to it.

Honestly, if you have one, you don't need the other, but I will say that I personally prefer 'Fairest Nude', since it looks less brown on me (For reference, I'm a neutral to yellow-toned, N/NC 10-15), and it's not a limited edition color.

As with all Colour Riche lipsticks, it does have the "signature" (for lack of better word) scent.

Overall, it's not a bad item, but considering the availability of a similar color in the regular line, I wouldn't shed a tear over it being limited edition.

This is another great nude from L'oreal...it is very similar, yes, to fairest nude..but I think its moe cool toned and "pink" I would say this is a cross between fairest nude and taffeta. I ran out of both these lipsticks and have been searching for a good nude to replace my taffeta (since its discontinued) and fairest nude tended to wash out my complexion a bit. Imo, this is the perfect union of the two..very pleased I bought this one, would recommend if you are looking for a cool, slightly pink nude

I was hoping it would be similar to MAC's Myth, which is my favorite going out nude, but this instantly reminded me of L'Oreal Fairest Nude. I feel like it's so similar, and I really did not like Fairest Nude - too much brown and darkness for my fair skin. To me, a nude should be light, not dark. I am NW10-15 for reference.

Ok, I also have fairest nude, but FN looks terrible on me. It's far too warm for me. Raven's pout is cool enough to work on my skin tone, which is great because I was so disappointed in FN. So, they are VERY similar, but I if FN is a little too warm/brown for you, try Raven's pout.
It is way, way too expensive though. This should be a lot cheaper.

EXCATLY what the person below me said.... I have Fairest Nude, and a ton of other nude shades but I love to try new ones, saw the pretty display at Walgreen's, got sucked in and of course got this lipstick. Got in the car, swatched it and immediately said to myself "This is Fairest Nude!". Very dissapointing, and to boot, I paid $8.99, when I bought FN for $5.00, Luckily I'm running very low on FN so I will not have to purchase another for a while, but yes. So if you have one, you will not have to buy the other, especially this one since you will have to be spending a few more dollars for the exact same thing!! L'oreal could have came up with a better "nude" color. Other than that, still a very pretty shade..

This is the EXACT same color as Fairest Nude. I am soooo disappointed that they couldn't come up with a new shade. I have both lipsticks and they are the exact same color. Now I have 2 tubes of the same lipstick. The color is nice but I was hoping for a NEW lipstick not a repeat of something I already have. Raven is ever so slightly more cool-toned, but you really have to look very closely to discern any difference. How uncreative that L'Oreal could not come up with a new shade.
