This is one of my HG lipsticks. It is so classy and lovely for work that I use it nearly every day. It is quite a natural looking pink colour that looks like my lips but so much better. I find that without a bit of lip colour I can look a bit washed out so this is perfect for me :)

Decent pinkie nude lipstick. It pulls a lot of pink on me. I pair it with mac cushy lip liner. I doubt I will repurchase since it will take a while to finish the tube.

This is my favourite nudey-pink lipstick! It doesn't wash me out or look stark at all. It is very flattering and appropriate for everyday, work, school, outings, etc. Perfect lipstick for a smokey or dramatic eye look.

Love this! Great pink-nude color. This is a YLBB color and looks great on its own or layered with a gloss and paired with a smoky eye. The Cremesheen formula doesn't dry out my lips and lasts a decent amount of time before I need to reapply.

I love this color. Although, the pics make it seem lighter than it is. Its actually a pretty mauve color. I have red highlights so the color looks awesome with them. Makes everything pop. I also have fair skin so it adds color. I don't like spending a lot on lipstick, but I do like this one and love the quality.

hands down my favorite cremesheen from MAC. The cremesheen forumla gives this awesome MLBB color that moisturizing power with a bit of sheen. I had originally went to the MAC counter and bought Angel but the SA grabbed the wrong lipstick and I ended up with Modesty in my shopping bag.


At first I was annoyed but when I saw the color in the tube it was actually a color I could wear everyday and get plenty of use out of. I tried it on and hhhoooooomygosh LOVE IT. It makes me look put together and presentable without looking over the top or try-hard. My lips are pretty pigmented and this came up as a mauve-y pink on me. It's a safe color for sure and I'm content with this happy accidental discovery.

About me: NW10-15 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

This looks like a medium berry tone in person, and a light neutral tone in photos. In real life, it looks too dramatic and made up to wear out but it does look nice in photos.

Lovely pinky nude lippie for DDDs. It looks perfect for morning weddings, smokey eyes, work, or when you want some color on the lips without going overboard. Creamy formula allows it to glide easily on the lips.

I have pigmented lips and a medium/tan skin. I was looking for a MLBB lipstick and thought Modesty would be great so I bought it online after looking for swatches and reviews on Internet. BUT...I don't like it actually. I don't know why, but when I have eyeshadows (even neutral colors) and I wear Modesty, I feel like it's too much and not natural. So I gave it to a friend who is blonde and has fair skin, I think it really looks good on her, way better than on me.

This is a great nude that relies on cool mauve tones instead of a brown or orange base. The texture is smooth, even, and creamy, and the wear is consistent in that it doesn't become dry or patchy over time. Modesty is great for a polished look that's still very natural, and I always have it in my purse since it suits any occasion, outfit, or makeup look.

MAC creme sheen formulas are my favorite the formula is so moisturizing and feels great on the lips!

This colour is very beautiful and natural, to me it's a nice darker natural colour. The name "modesty" suits it perfectly!

I felt that this colour suited me better as a brunette than a blonde. It's a great fall/winter colour.

This is my latest lippie purchase and I'm very pleased. The color is more than a nude pink, it has some beautiful mauve tones to it that goes very nice with my skin tone and really makes my eyes pop. The staying power is about average. I firmly believe that if a lippie truly has good staying power, then it's usually too dry and chaps my lips, so I've resigned myself to living with moisturizing, short-lasting lipstick. The color is perfect, it's an opaque, solid shade that doesn't just gloss your lips like a lot of other lippies do, it does actually add substantial color. Again, I'm very pleased with this and am sure I will continue to purchase it over and over again.

I picked this up with my Back 2 Mac return items. I wish I would have gotten this sooner! My favorite lipstick is the now discontinued Bobbi Brown Blush lip color and this is a great dupe. I think this may have less of a brown tinge but I actually prefer it. I really can't say enough good things about this lipstick. Great, neutral pink color with moisturizing properties. So glad I got this!

It's my HG for subtle, pretty, everyday lips! I'm an NC44 and this shade looks like "my lips, but better". I feel that I look professional at work with this, and that I also look casual and natural enough to run errands or grab lunch. I don't even need a balm or lip conditioner with this since it's a cremesheen! A must have if you're an NC40-44.

I'm always on the look out for a truly natural looking lipstick. Most contain a bit too much brown mixed in with the rose-pink (being the color I look for, the rose-pink.) A bit of brown is always welcome as it tones this rosy-pink down. I think the name of this lipstick says it all: "Modesty." It is the perfect color, the color of lip, but pumped up a bit. The texture is also important and this fits the bill as it's one of MAC's "Creme Sheen" formulas. It lets the texture of the lips come through w/out being too sheer or too shiny. I'm not a fan of matte lipsticks unless I'm worried about longevity of it's wear (because I'll find myself in a position where I won't be able to check my makeup in a mirror and will not have the opportunity to reapply.) I am medium toned and this color provides just enough zip to shape and define my lips w/out bringing too much attention to itself. I like my eyes to be the focal point. A very bright, frosted, dark or shiny lipstick will detract from your eyes and bring your mouth into focal interest (not that there aren't times I like and use this method of application, but not on an everyday basisi.) This is a go to shade/formula for me. When in doubt it always works no matter what clothes or fashion you have on. It's a "work horse" so to speak for me. I'm never w/out it. Most Highly Recommended!!!

My first Mac lipstick ever. A great light pink-brown lipstick. Probably the lightest I should go lipstick wise. Great to go with a smokey eye or a simple everyday eye with a good blush. I love wearing it with Loreal Le Gloss in Nude Touch. Maybelline Totally Toffee is a close dupe. NC 37-40 for reference.

The perfect Nude for me. I really struggle with finding nude lip colours that suit me as I find that they can be more high maintenance than they should be. I love shy girl but I have to be really careful when wearing it as it looks horrid if I have drylips or if I have not exfoliated them, the lipstick just highlights all the imprefections. Then there are some that are so milky on my pigmented lips that it looks like I am wearing concealer on my lips, urgh! Then sometimes you find a nude that kinda suits but you have to blot most of it off to get it to look somewhat natural. Not so with Modesty, its the type of lipstick which you can just put on a go no lipliner needed. For me the colour is so similar to my lipcolour, it is the one lipstick that us girls look for the "my lips but better" HG. If you have a olive skintone and around the NC42ish, with pigmented lips this is the one for you. Don't bother with Shy Girl, Plink, or Creme Cup try this first you won't be disappointed.

SA recommended this as a nude. I have medium to olive skin and at first from Pretty Please all the time, I was hesitant to buy this one but decided it was free with recycles so no loss.

Love it! It's a great nudish creamy lipstick. It looks great with all eye makeup and now I prefer it over my previous fav Pretty Please.

This is one of my all time favorites. I was looking for a nude color with a rosy hint and I found the perfect match. If you like this color I think you'll also love MAC Bare Again Sheen Supreme lipstick. The price is around $25 which is a bit expensive but I wouldn't mind paying it again.
