    The swatch from this color is so deceiving. When swatched on the hand it looks like a pretty cool toned pink, but when worn, it washes me out, makes my teeth look like a horrible shade of yellow...

    I'm pink toned, and too be honest, I have no idea why I even bought this. It makes me look like a corpse.

    I recently acquired Bare Venus in swap and fell in love with it almost instantly. I've had a hard time finding an arsenal of good nude lipsticks that I truly love, so this earned a place in my...

    This gives me the nude pinkish lips I've always wanted. I'm NC 35, pigmented lips.

    I am surprised to even see some bad reviews on this lipstick! If you're warm toned, why would you pick such a cool lipstick to wear? That's not the lipstick's fault. I am in seriously in love with...

    Bare Venus is the prettiest nude lipstick I own (and I own a lot!). I wear it nearly everyday! It's a gorgeous pale nudey pinky lavender grey. It is exactly what Test Pattern l/l would be if it was...

    This is a very pale beige, even kinda grey, nude shade. It's a very special colour and it can't be very very unflattering if worn alone. I'm very very pale (so pale that I look yellowy LOL) but I'm...

    I'm an NC15, and I agree with everyone that this can not be worn alone. You definately need a dramatic eye and some blush and/or bronzer with this lipstick. But I'm still in love with it! The...

    This is a pale, cool-toned nude that washes me out when worn alone. For reference, I have LLL (MAC C2) skintone and not very pigmented lips. It takes some effort to make Bare Venus to work on me...

    I am a big fan of Mac, but I have to say that this lipstick does nothing for me. In fact it washes me out and makes me look dead. I am not too light being a C3, I will be giving it away. The reason...

    Ugh...nasty. Normally I look good with a pale lip since my lips are very full, but this lipstick has too much grey in it. Buh bye. I like Nars Chelsea Girls much better!

    I like Bare Venus. It has a nice creamy cool pink tone that has a very sublte hint of mauve. I personnaly don't see any beige in this shade and I don't consider this to be a "nude" shade. To me,...

    Ugh! This took my natural lip shade down about 10 shades...I looked like a corpse. BUT, I still LOVE MAC lipsticks...the texture and the smell! Just NOT this color!

    As others have said, this is very similar to MAC Blankety (my favourite pink beige nude!), but...something is a bit off with Bare Venus, on my skin. Not sure what, but I think Bare Venus is lacking...

    This color was all wrong for me (NW20). It completely washed me out. In the tube, it looks like a pretty beige pink. It went on much lighter and made me look pale, and sunk into my lips looking...

    This was way too pale on me(fair/ppp) washed me out big time, beautiful color in the tube, I guess for most, it would be ideal for the nude lip/smokey eye look. If you like MAC Wuss..it's very...
