Finding the perfect nude lipstick can feel impossible—especially as we get older. Dryness, fine lines, and settling can make even the most beautiful shades look less flattering. Enter MUA Cristina Pignataro, who’s sharing her top three MAC nude lipsticks that are perfect for women over 40. These shades don’t crack, settle into lines, or fade awkwardly—and paired with the right liner, they can create a polished, youthful look in seconds.

1. Flesh Pot
Cristina’s current go-to, Flesh Pot, is a fresh take on a classic nude. She notes that it’s slightly different from the original version but still gives that perfect balance between warmth and softness. “It’s such a beautiful nude,” she says. On her lips, it creates a creamy, flattering finish that works for everyday wear or evening glam.
2. Blankety
Next up is Blankety, a shade Cristina wears constantly. With a cool, pinky undertone, Blankety straddles the line between nude and soft pink, making it incredibly versatile. “I wear this all the time,” she says. The color looks natural while enhancing your lips, giving a polished, understated elegance that works for any skin tone over 40.
3. Creme de Nude
Last but not least is Creme de Nude, a favorite for its multi-purpose magic. Cristina loves using it both on its own and blended with other shades for a “concealer lip” effect that brightens the center of the lips. “I use this so much—it’s totally time for a new one,” she admits. This shade is ideal for adding subtle dimension, making lips appear fuller and smoother without highlighting lines.
The Secret Weapon: Cool Spice Lip Liner All three nudes pair beautifully with Cristina’s new obsession: the Cool Spice liner. This liner provides definition, prevents feathering, and ensures your nude lip looks sharp and polished all day.
According to Cristina, it’s “so perfect” for creating a seamless, long-lasting look. Nude lips don’t have to be boring or unforgiving. With Flesh Pot, Blankety, and Creme de Nude, every woman over 40 can have a flattering, line-proof, and effortlessly chic pout.
