Finding the perfect nude for my skintone (nc37-40) is very hard. A lot of the popular ones wash me out, but here are some that work.
FAVES:
MAC Cherish (HG): Perfect color - matches with any eyeshadow combo. I dab it on or else it can be too thick/light - I love the sort of dry texture b/c it really stays on and mutes out my lips.
MAC Brave New Bronze: Looks better with warm/peach/gold eyeshadows instead of pink/purple. More moisturizing than Cherish and slightly darker. Sadly LE.
UNDER CONSIDERATION:
Revlon Colorburst Soft Nude: Loving the color (looks like MAC Cherish on me) but starting to notice it fades a little patchy and the creaminess kinda bleeds outside my lips-I think I need to use with a lipliner.
Maybelline Totally Toffee: I love how it feels (creamy but I can still feel it on, so I know it's there), and I love how even it fades. Sometimes I notice it looking a little mauve and washing me out though.
THUMBS DOWN:
L'oreal fairest nude: This has some mauve undertones and looks a tad gray/purple on me. Hate the smell -that's the deal-breaker for me. Smells like old lady makeup to me.

I know what you mean by smell being a deal breaker and double yuck for it smelling like old lady makeup! Do you have the MAC Hello Kitty Cutester lipstick? I can imagine that one looking gorgeous on you.
Good selection.:D
For me, I'm loving Cherish.:D
Happy Thursday!:D
