What's your favorite nude lipstick for olive skin and pigmented lips?

Plushpenguin

I have purple lips even though my skin is light/medium and it makes finding lipsticks a pain. Mauves are the safe and obvious choice for an everyday lipstick, but I wanna try a more sophisticated nude look instead. Does any one with a similar complexion have any suggestions? Especially if you have purplish pigmented lips, since that's actually pretty important when I choose a lip color.

I don't know how much help I am, since I don't have any suggestions for exactly what you are looking for, but I just wanted to give a recommendation. I have olive skin and dark features (although my lips are not purple), and I really like to wear nude lipgloss. My favorite is Nars Turkish Delight, which Kim Kardashian uses and swears by. It's nude, which allows you to play up your eyes and keep your lips neutral.

Do you have access to a Nordstrom, Plushpenguin? I've heard Yves Saint Laurent makes 27 shades of nude lipstick. I'm currently searching for a nude one myself, so I am planning on heading down there in the next few weeks. MAC also makes a very opaque lipstick which would cover the purple tinge your lips have. Keep in mind that what's nude for one person is not necessarily nude for another, so I would go to a department store where you have access to a few different brands, and tell them what you are looking for. Try them all, and don't worry it takes you a few trips to find one that works for you.
