I'm a HUGE nude lip lover! Not to be confused with "neutral lips" either. There's a huge difference between nude (which I would call blanking out your lips to your skin color) and neutral lips (using a lip product that plays off your natural lip pigmentation).
Anyway, now that THAT'S out of the way!
Make Up For Ever - #22
Retails: $19 on Sephora.com
This is a newly acquired item for me. I saw so many swatches on other blogs and it looked gorgeous! It's a satin color, which means it's got a little bit a sheen to it. In swatches and photographs, it does look like it's got a sheen, but on my lips in real life, it looks a little more dry. However, this can be easily fixed by applying a gloss over.
Illamasqua - Sonnet
Retails: $22 on Sephora.com
I've also already bought and returned this item. I hated the color (too orange for me) and I wasn't crazy about the consistency either. I had these swatched on my hand (like in the picture in this post) and after a few minutes, the color started to separate... Hmm. For $22, I would expect way better! So I returned this and in the future would rather buy from MUFE or MAC and save a few bucks!
MAC - Myth
Retails: $14.50 on MACcosmetics.com
My all time favorite nude lip lipstick is MAC's Myth. It's a little pinkier for me and that helps to make me look more alive. Lol! I love to pair it with a pink tinted gloss over top as well, to brighten it up! MAC obviously has great lip products and I feel like they're sold at a reasonable price.
Do you wear nude lips? I'd love to know some other lipstick recommendations! :)

I almost always wear a nude lip! I love it! Myth is definitely a good one! I haven't tried the MUFE one yet, but next time I'm at Sephora, I'll check it out!
My favorite nudes are: MAC Hue, YSL Rouge Volupté #1 & #2, Chanel Rouge Allure #69 Mythic, MAC Myth, and MAC Creme de Nude. I love nude lippies!! lol.

I have MAC Hue too and I love it! But actually, when I got mine from MAC (online), it was already a little broken. So I don't use it much. Blah!
MUFE also has a ton more to choose from! But #22 looked so nice! I'll have to do a FOTD with it or something. :)
I love MAC Myth so pretty :)
I need a nude. I liked the color of the Illamasqua one best but based on what you are saying about the consistency, I think I'll check out the MAC instead. Thanks!
i want to have those kind of swatches. :) very pretty
Wow! Thanks for the review! One of my ALL TIME FAV make up looks is the pinky nude lip & smokey eyes! I have been on the quest for the perfect nude lip color and it's a little overwhelming/exhausting! I personally have found is NP Lipstick (from Target of all places!) Denver. It's $15 and it's really creamy and when applied lightly is a very nice texture and weight. It doesn't last throughout the day but reapplication is easy b/c if the nude color is applied on the fly it's really not big deal. Not like a bright red which takes precision.
One I didn't like so much was Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick $26 @ Sephora (Casual Beige 222?) This also wore off quickly and dried out my lips.
