Many Shades of "NUDE": My Lips but Better for Spring

As there are ranges of skin tones in this world, there also were creates many shades of nude. For me NUDE means My Lips But Better Color. To make your perfect your-lips but better Nude Lip Color search, I categorized them into three different types and present to you this list of nude lipstick compilation.
[ FIRST CATEGORY ]
Peachy Pink Nude
This is the classic nude that we think about. Suitable for many skin tones, but be aware of the undertone as cool undertone of pink nude shade might be too contrasting and stark.
Chanel// Ingenue
 Chanel// Sentiment
Edward Bess// Forbidden Flower
 MAC// Illustrated Nude
Marc Jacobs// #144 Flirt

[ SECOND CATEGORY ]
Honey Bronze Nude 
This is definitely a flexible category. Some may not appear to be very nude-like in conventional sense, but I think they can be great enhancing lip colors for deeper or tan skinned people! Or even people who want to fake that tan.
 Guerlain// Galante
Maybelline// #940 Touchable Taupe
 NARS// Pagopago
Too Faced// Sweet Maple

[ LAST CATEGORY ]
Coral to Pink Nude
Can coral be natural too? Dolce & Gabbana model shows that the answer is yes! Coral, what I normally associate with a pop of color can be wearable and add just a right amount of hint of color for the spring pout.
 Chanel// Interlude
 Chanel// Mystique
NARS// Descanso
Tom Ford// #5 Sweet Spot

Hope this inspires some for trying out different shade of "nude" this spring.

Orange-Red Lipstick

I've been re-watching Lisa Eldridge's videos and I stumbled upon the party red orange lips video tutorial. And I am loving the red lips. Even though red lips are usually associated with winter time, I think good red lipstick will be a keeper for sure!

Peach-pink nude lipsticks

These lip swatches are from Temptalia.com

Chanel in Santal Allure Laque ($32.00/shimmery champagne peach)Chanel lip products are a little bit sheer.
YSL volupte peach passion #13($32)I love Rouge Volupte consistency, and they are worth the price, in my opinion...
Illamasqua Brink ($20/matte warm coral pink)
This is gorgeous, but it is little bit too dramatic for work or school. I guess I could sheer it out.
Guerlain Gardenia Rouge G lipstick ($45/softened pinky-beige with a light, glossy finish )Guerlain Lipsticks are little bit too pricy...
even though the consistency looks gorgeous, it is definitely over-priced.

I am in love with peach-pink nudes these days....
