    I second the recommendations for MAC :) There is such a wide variety of shades & finishes. From the finish you've described I'd either look at their lustre, creamsheen or amplified cream finishes or alternatively the sheen supreme or mineralize lipsticks may be suitable but I think they're slightly more expensive than the regular ones. Try to avoid falling in love with a limited edition shade too otherwise you'll get it & never find it again!

    I like max factor because it's not drying and lasts until I eat. en/Max-Factor-Colour-Elixir-Lipstick_1222517 What about English Rose?

    I'm not allowed to post links as a new user so just put wwwdotbootsdotcom/ in front of the link and you'll see it.

    What about Gloss with a little bit a colour? I love wearing that as it's subtle. You can try Sephora's glosses. I love them!

    I wear gloss a lot, and love it. But I am after something a little more formal, just a bit!

    I love L'Oreal Star Secrets Linda Evangelista Mauve (number 716 from google check). Unfortunately you can only buy it online now from ebay and amazon :( The stick looks really pinky/ purply in some lights but when its on it actually looks nude as its a perfect colour for my lips which are quite rosy even though my skin is pale.

    I like the look of that, just ordered one from Amazon, thanks.

    EDIT: No I didn't, they won't deliver to the UK. None listed on ebay. Do you know of anyone else that sells these?
  • Can I second the mirror shine lipsticks - the Beehive and Nudist Peach are neutral lovely shades. They don't last that well but are really nice and not a bad price either x
  • Ive heard nothing but good stuff about soap and glorys lipstick, the perfect day may be the sort of colour youre looking for. I keep meaning to buy a couple but am just not sure when i'd really wear lipstick atm lol

    I also agree with the 17 Belle lipstick, a very pretty colour.

    Also L'Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks are really nice. I love the shade called Sweet Berry it's like a my lips but butter colour :) Worth swatching!

    E.L.F. do a great range of different lipsticks, cheap but the quality is really good. A lot of their colours are an exact match for MAC products.
  • Mc do the bext lipstick IMO, really creamy and good colour range
