While the majority of women at the 2007 Emmy Awards arrived wearing the ever-popular nude lip, or a bold red lip, stars like Rebecca Romijn, Vanessa Williams and Debra Messing chose an even more subdued, matte and chalky lipstick. Do you like this look, and who do you think wore it best?

Although it matches her complexion a little too much for me, I think it looks the best on Vanessa Williams.
1I liek Debra's. I think she looks like a vixen here!!!
2Rebecca's makeup did NOT compliment her. Debra Messing looks great...
3Bella-Can you suggest a matte chalky lipstick that looks close to Vanessa's or Rebecca's?
4Debra
5Not a fan of corpse lips
6they all look fantastic with the nude lip but i wonder if it gets really nasty looking up close and in person...
7I'm not a fan of the nude lip if it requires a nude colored lipstick. But I like lips left their natural color with a slick of chapstick or something to keep them from looking dry.
8Vanessa looks the most natural to me.
I vote for Rebecca!!
9I think Debra looked best, though it was a tough call between her & Vanessa.
10I like it on Debra messing for several reasons, the strongest one being she's got lots of color elsewhere so she doesn't look totally washed out like Rebecca Romijn (in my opinion). If you have rich hair and smoky/colored eye makeup I think it's okay, but RR looks not so good, again in my opinion. Vanessa Williams looks good too, but not as good as the fiery red head.
11Debra's doesn't look chalky to me, it looks like her natural skin color. The other two I don't like at all.
12Debra Messing's got a wicked bad case of b*tchface.
13Debra looks the best, Rebecca's makeup was a mess that night in my opinion.
14Vanessa WIlliams would look good in anything. She could use a Crayola for lipstick, whatever. But I hae this pale/chalky lipcolor trend.
15Debra!
16natural lips look fresh and pretty, a nude/chalky lip just looks corpse like. eek.
17Debra looks best, but I don't like this trend.
18Vanessa Williams
19I like this look. It's nice to see something that isn't shiny, frosted, sparkley or shimmery.
20i don't think rebecca looks good here.
21i don't like it on any of them, or on anyone for that matter
22How do you even get this look?
23Do Not like this look at all! Why would I want to make myself look worse? ugh.
24I'd rather wear no lipstick at all (or gloss or anything), than go for a chalky lip. Who wants to look like they just kissed a blackboard?
25vanessa
26I do not like this look. It looks like you just drank Pepto.
27Vanessa. It's too light on Rebecca and too brown on Debra.
28I don't like it, but if I had to choose.. I think Rebecca looks th best.
29Vanessa , it looked so natural which is pretty
30i like debra's =)
31BellaSugar, what kind of lipstick brand would you reccommend to recreate this chalky lip??? I've been looking for one and I can't find something that looks quite chalky.
32Debra's is the nicest here. not too pale, and just matte enough. Everyone should try out MAC lipstick, Fleshpot. It has that chalky nude effect.
33Debra! But I really don't like this look, looks very unnatural
34Debra looks great. Vanessa's blends in with her skin tone too much, imo.
35I don't like the chalky lips at all. I noticed it in InStyle yesterday and immediately wondered if some of the celebs showed up feeling ill.
36I didn't realize I was trendy. This is how I look most days if, between dressing my toddler and packing lunches, I even get to put on a lip treatment! Go figure.
37Vanessa. Its like the color of her skin so its best imo.
38yeah vanessa. matches her skin and contrasts her eye color. nice
39I really don't think it looks good on any of them.
40Not really a fan of this look.
41all of them looks tacky. just like a clowns!!
there's so huge layer of cosmetics on their faces, that makes me puke...
YES to natural beauty, NO to made-ups!!!
42I usually don't care for this look but all 3 ladies look fine here.
43wow, I definitely think I'll follow this trend.. even though it passed quite a while since it has been posted here.
Then again... could someone please suggest me a lipstick and shade which looks this way? I do have lots of nude coloured lipsticks, matte, but they are all creamy... Rouge Interdit being my bi big favorite.

44And I forgot to choose but Please don't make me because I cannot, They All look Good with it. Honest!
