Could anyone possibly compare St. Tropez to Centerfold and/or Nice Tan? St. Tropez is almost the same level of darkness/color as my lips, and I'd like to try a color that is just a touch lighter and a bit less pink. Is there one that sounds like that? Either the two I mentioned here or another one?

Many SN nudes are good for me but not just EXACTLY it (lol): Maiden, Cultured, Caramel, and Birthday Suit (fave of those being Birthday Suit). St. Tropez is the closest to what I am going for...I want something to wear with dramatic black/smokey eye makeup that doesn't wash me out. Menage washed me out really bad.

I have not compared Nice Tan to St.Tropez side by side, but to my memory it is less pink. Centerfold is definitely more pink than St. Tropez. I can wear St. Tropez, but find Centerfold too pink for me.

That's so funny, my lips are like the opposite of everyone's. Centerfold was lighter and less pink on me. It was my perfect nude until I found St. Tropez, which I prefer because it's more pink. I think the only way to know for sure is to try it.

Thank you both! I am leaning toward maybe getting both. :) You're right, Feyith, I will just have to try.

Centerfold is pinker on me too, and St. Tropez is my perfect nude. Nice Tan seems like a neutral nude, but I'm not sure as I don't have it yet. It seems a bit on the brown nude side, and those just don't work on me. Mirage works, but not perfect and Menage works as well, but it leans a bit into mauve.

Can someone compare Nice Tan to Menage and / or Mirage?

Mirage seems to have more purple in it while Nice Tan really is a neutral tan. I prefer the latter because I have warm skin and Mirage can turn a bit corpse on me. Nice Tan is also a little more sheer a la Centerfold so it's not going to blot out your lips altogether.

I go for Nice Tan when I want a subtle, neutral nude. And Centerfold when I want a touch of pink—same with St. Tropez.

Gotcha! I can pull off Mirage, it's kinda leaning to neutral brown, but a bit too much Menage, and it's the corps-y thing happening. I have Cabaret, and that's like full-on corpse :D

I'm getting Nice Tan next time, thanks!

Thanks for the swatches! If I didn't have Cabaret, I would buy it again... just to be disappointed again that as gorgeous as it is, it makes me look silly. Seriously, if you don't think my face is dead, you think I spent too much time in super cold water and got the purple lips... bummer.

Nice Tan, coming to me soon :)

Why oh why, Nice Tan has to look so pretty in pictures?
I'm so tempted to get it, but needs to replenish my Caramel soon as well, and I'm looking forward for the holiday collection, and I still have a lot lippies in my stash.

I wish I can paint myself in SN lippies only to justify another order! *sigh*
