I LOVE this lipstick. I'm NC30 for reference. This lipstick is so nice for everyday look, when I don't feel like wearing too much. The color and texture make my lips look NATURALLY pinkish nude. I was in love with MAC's Instinctive (LE), and when they discontinued that, I was frantically looking for a replacement. Af first MAC suggested Sheer Plum for replacement, I have no idea why since Sheer Plum is so much darker and red. That's when I discovered Touch.
When I want it to be a bit darker, I lined it with Spice.
This is an HG product for me and I will definitely purchase again.

I wanted an everyday, nude lip as a Back-to-MAC purchase. I have naturally quite plummy pigmented lips and it's difficult for me to achieve a natural 'nude' lip without having to resort to a layer of concealer before applying a nude lipstick. I hate using concealer on my lips - dries them out badly. This was a good compromise. It lightened my lips to an almost-'nude' but is not pigmented enough to cancel out the plum undertones of my natural lips. Nothing special, but it's nice for everyday wear. One lippy off for the fact it's nothing special, and another lippy off for the fact it isn't very moisturising. I had to reapply once every hour or so just to keep my lips from drying out.

This is nice color, but I feel like it's stuck in the middle. It's not a shiny, glossy sheer (like Jubilee) but it's not as pigmented and rich (like Twig). It takes a lot of work to get it looking the way I want (I either put lots of lip primer underneath or a lot of gloss on top). Not bad, but nothing spectacular.

I asked the make-up artist for a nude looking lipstick and he was so right with this color. It's a warm nude on my NC 45 complexion, but it's a great everyday color to wear at work, not a striking type of color, but very nice. It's so natural on me, it looks like I have nothing on - but better! I wear Viva Glam over it for shine and it compliments it well.

UPDATE***************************************** Also looks good with Entice Lip Gloss.

A lovely sheerish mid-range brown--not too dark (lighter than Bobbi Brown Golden Brown, for example), not too light. Works on the "mature" face because it's not matte or create a mask-like look. The downside to this lipstick is that although it goes on smoothly and feels nice at the outset, the lips start to feel dryer over time, and that time is all too short--I have to reapply Touch every hour or so. But the flattering color is worth the trade-off and I will purchase again.

A beautiful neutral brown or deep beige depending on the lighting. I was looking for a MAC warm nude in the lustre finish and it seems that I've found it. Hug Me was way too pink and light and Fresh Brew looks like concealer on my lips. Love it!

I'm an NC 35, AAB with dark hair and eyes, fairly pigmented lips. As PPs said, this is a natural brownish pink. Very much a MLBB color - nice lustre texture that's very natural. Perfect for the daytime. I prefer it to Hug Me, which is a bit too pink for my liking. Natural look, no shimmer. Little staying power, but otherwise am happy with it.

Hmmm not sure about this one, I asked the SA on MAC online what lippie to use with the eyeshadows all that glitters, amber lights and naked lunch, she suggested "touch" with some instant gold lustreglass over it.

I tried it, it's nice, but i don't know if it's too brown for my coloring? At first, i was like ooo nice, but then im like hmm do I ook washed out? I asked my hub he said it was ok, not bad, but not great either, maybe i need to pair it with a brighter cheek? I dunno, I will have to try it a few more times different ways to be sure.......I will update in the future =)

For reference I am a NC30 brunette with golden brown eyes =)

EDIT: nah, this color isn't for me, too browny, not enough color, oh well

I'm thinking I like this... When I first put it on... not so much... but now its growing on me. It has to be paired with the right eye shadows though, I don't think it would look right with a brown on brown type look. It goes on smooth and straight, and is actually very flattering. I didn't give it a 5 because I'm not in love with it, and I wouldn't buy again because I probably won't even use this tube, but all in all, worth the swap :)

This has become my HG lipstick. Usually I have to hydrate my lips with lipbalm before applying lipstick, but this one is so smooth there's no need to. It's a very natural looking light, neutral brown. I wear it with BB Summer Tan blaush and it looks perfect. Can't recommend highly enough!

I usually am not a lipsick fan, but this is a gorgeous soft brown shade that can be worn with a great smokey eye look. To enhance my lips, I usually line lips with MAC's Chestnut l/l and blend in with Touch l/s. Then I add a drop of Enchantress l/g in the middle of my lips. Absolutely gorgeous! NC35, black hair, olive-tan complexion for reference.

I just received this in a swap and I couldn't be more pleased! I actually just purchased another tube from MAC online. This color is so natural, yet definetly not underspoken. All I can think of when I wear it is how much it reminds me of the color Angela Jolie wears. I always loved the color she seems to wear daily. LOVE this lipstick.

Eh--didn't like this one. Too brown on me & washed me out as well. Maybe a good "nude" for darker/ richer skintones, but just looked like unflattering brown on pale me.

Ok, this lipstick is not working on me. It's not all brown, but brownish red and it's a bit dark to be nude. It just washes me out. I'm warm toned too!

I wanted to try this lipstick for a very long time and I wasn't disappointed. A lovely brown with a peachy pink undertone, this is a nice neutral, subdued lipstick. For reference NC42 with pigmented lips and I was initially nervous given cool lips look like crap on me. This however is truly neutral and I think would flatter just about anyone. The perfect work lippie for a professional environment.

I got this shade when I swapped my empty MAC containers for a free liptick. My all time HG MAC lip gloss is lust and I wanted a lipstick that looks like it. This one matched a lot. I do ont use it everyday but when I do I always think why I am not. Its a nice neautral shade that would look good on anyone. ITs great for day or night. If you just want to put on lipstick and leave the house in the day time or do heavy eye makeup at night and want a nice soft color on the lips.
I saw someone else say its a lustre.....I'm not so sure coz it feels dry on my lips so I usually apply it and then apply some chapstick on it. My nexy shade from MAC will be spirit.

Weirdly enough, I actually kind of like this brownish nude Lustre lipstick. It’s clearly a nude color, but then it has a caramel twinge to it, which I admit, made me a bit apprehensive. You see - I despise the brown lips . . . oh yes. And don’t get me wrong, on its own, Touch does give me a slightly browned-lip look – my friends even remarked, “Yeah so what’s up with your lipstick?” I didn't think it was that bad! The caramel over with the pink tones in my lip looked rather nice, but I guess it's not as fleshy-healthy looking as I'd like. So paired this with a pinkish nude lipliner, such as my trust Naturistic Spice Lip Stixx, Touch looks far more natural and flattering. It does have a bit of “shimmer,” as most Lustres do, enough to give the lips some dimension and not add a fake, cheesy element. I don’t think I would repurchase this shade as it’s nothing special, but it’s a nice variation on my usual nude lip.

I have repurchased touch a couple times because it's a great color to put on when I don't have time to find an appropriate lippie, also when I need to apply lipcolor again mid-day. On me, its definitely a warm beige/light caramel brown...it just warms up my whole face. Not good for those that look better in cool shades IMO.
This is one of the only lustres that I like because the texture isn't too thin and it actually provides a good amount of color and does not fade instantly. (i'm a ggg c40-nc42)

Touch is simply the best lipstick from lustre collection. Very natural and lovely on my lips. Found my holy grail lipstick.
