Thinking about it, Briarwood might be a little more brown than what you want. It has a touch of warmth and brown in it. I kinda like slightly brown shades because they end up looking neutral on my lips, whereas sometimes the ones that start out pink end up too cool on me. Sheena is another one like ...

Sounds like we have similar coloring. Try Briarwood, Pout, Proper and Summer Fling. I was gonna suggest Infatuation but it looks like it's been discontinued. When did that happen?

Sorry I can't give you swatches but I've used both. Proper has more pigment. On my lips it looks pink, not too cool, not too warm, not too dark, with a beautiful pearly shine. It's easy to wear with everything, probably my most versatile lippie, works for casual to all dressed up. My bag only has ro...

Color analysis is really interesting, and you're right, it's come a long way since the old 4 seasons. Now there are 12 or 16 seasons depending on which school you go by. I'm a Soft Summer. Neutral leaning slightly cool. Soft Summers can't pull off red lipstick or black liner AT ALL, and that's been ...

I think 'Proper' is simply amazing. It's become my everyday, go-to lippie. It might be really pretty in the matte formula for Spring. Conversely, I think an alternative, glossy version of Marsala would also be great. I love the color, but it definitely looks better on me with a slick of 'Smooth and ...

Thanks, Jen. Just about everything turns pink on me, too. Marsala sounds like just what I'm looking for. Until I found Sultry, every lippie that was either opaque, dark or red made me look like a child playing dress up, so I'm really looking forward to trying Marsala! Who knows... maybe I can finall...

Thanks so much, Oxana.

Marsala and Sheena are going into the cart

Oh yes, please! That would be wonderful, Oxana.

Sultry is classified as a red, but on me it's a plummy deep pink with a touch of warm terra cotta. It's hard to describe. It's really gorgeous, though! You and I have similar coloring so I think you would like it.

Ahhh, no, I don't have any reds. Can't wear them at all. The closest I have to a red is Sultry. It's the only dark lippie I can actually wear, as in it doesn't "wear" me. I'm looking for something similar but a little browner, but not "milky" like Bobbi. Maybe Sheena? BTW, you wo...

Thanks so much, Oxana. I was hoping you'd post some swatches.

If you have time, could you perhaps make a swatch comparing these Velvet Mattes with Sultry for a point of reference?
