As far as nudes go, I think these lipsticks are pretty much perfect. They are a nice light colour that goes on smooth and even. I also find them really moisturizing, which is an added and unexpected bonus. What I really love is they don't have that "lipstick" taste which often turns me off lipsticks all together. As with pretty much all nudes, they aren't the most long lasting of lipsticks. Which is the only negative I have to say for these colours. But I find if I use a nude lipliner to fill in my whole lip before applying the lipstick. This seems to get the colour to last otherwise.
