I HAD THE SAMPLE BUT WAS ABLE TO USE IT SEVERAL TIMES. This color is not sheer or nude and is in fact practically identicle to sherbert, but maybe a tinge darker. It is a pretty color for cool...

This lipstick is neither sheer nor nude. Not at all what I expected or wanted.

Just like Paula's other Sheer Cream lipsticks, this one isn't sheer and is very drying. I thought this would be a perfect pale nude pink shade but it was too orange. The color has way too much...

-- For reference, I have blue eyes and pale pink lips. -- Nude Illusion is a beautiful almost neutral ( a little warm) medium toned nude shade, but I prefer a slightly paler one so here is how I...

I'm giving this product four lippies because overall, it is a nice lipstick. I like that it doesn't have a strong smell and applies nicely. Doesn't dry my lips out either. I have fair/light...

The color of this lipstick reminds me very much of Revlon's Highbeam Tan, which I love. I bought the sample because it had SPF15, which would make it even better than the Revlon. But...

This colour is too dark to be a nude. On my lips, it was the exact same colour as my lips! (A reddish beige). It is going back to Paula's Choice.

This was OK for my fair complexion, but not great. It is a wee bit too dark for a nude. It lasted about 2 hours at work with only drinking water.

Wow, I'm so torn! This is the perfect nude color--I really, really like it. Most nudes wash out my brown skin, but this one has a teeny pinch of rose, peachy sheen. BUT, I agree with the...

I've been curious about Paula's Sheer Cream Lipstick for some time now, so I finally just ordered samples of all the shades to try them out before committing $10 to any of them. Nude Illusion is...

I have found my HG MLBB color!! It does look warm in the tube, but somehow on my cool and fair skin it looks really great-and I can't usually wear warm colors! It feels great on-creamy but it still...

This is my favorite lipstick right now. A fairly pinkish, pale nude for me, a light-med beige skin tone NC27. Less brown that most other nudes, IMO. A good soft neutral pink that works with a...
