Nude Lipgloss?

[Casy8]

hi, beauties

I have tried the sample of the Caramel matte lipgloss and i like it very much, very natural and even my lip tone (my lip always red)
but i m wondering the below 3 shades

Caramel


Negligee


Mirage


umumum...are they similar to each other?? should i buy them all hohohohoo

Polished pink

OR the polished pink also a good option to me?? TIA

I don't know about Negligee but I do have Caramel, Mirage, and Polished Pink.

Caramel is the warmest of the three shades. Mirage is a tan nude, and Polished Pink is a tan nude that's been dressed up by a little hint of pink. Both Mirage and Polished Pink I would classify as neutral shades and they provide moderate coverage. They are definitely not as warm as Caramel, and on me they look more tan while Caramel looks like it has an orange tone in it. (I'm not sure if that's the case for others.)

Mirage and Polished Pink are so similar that I don't think you need to own them both if you're just starting your collection. However, if you wear a lot of nudes or if you like to have a lot of color choice, they are different enough to justify owning both.

Just my 2 cent: I don´t think Mirage and Polished Pink are that similar. I do have both. I can wear Polished Pink, but Mirage not so much.
Why?
Mirage is brownish/Nude without pink and on my medium pigmented lips (pink) it turns into an very weird dirty darkish brown.
Polished Pink is 'just' a darker MLBB.

Weird, isn´t it

I also find Mirage and Polished Pink different. My lips tend to be pinkish on their own....so the Mirage really tones down the pink. Polished Pink kind of matches the pink in my natural lip color.

Sorry to butt in: so if I can't wear brown nudes, like Birthday Suit, then I probably shouldn't get Mirage? I already have Polished Pink, and it's a pinkish nude, kinda dark, but then again, my lips are kinda dark

Mirage is quite a bit like Centerfold but even a little less pink.

Yeah, Mirage is more like Divine and Birthday Suit. It's very tan. I actually don't think Centerfold looks very nude/tan on me, though, so I'd have trouble comparing it to that, though in the swatches, they look similar. I'm starting to see that my coloring may be more unusual than I had previously thought. I think it's funny that you guys think Polished Pink is quite different - on me, they are so, so similar, especially indoors. In the sun, I can see more of the pink, but in office/home lighting they are almost the same on me.

Anyway, if you had ever tried Divine, Mirage is almost a dead ringer for it, IMO.

Of all the true opaque "nudes", I would say that divine is pale pinky tan, mirage is ever so slightly more sheer perhaps, cultured is more pink, negligee is more brown, and xxx is neutral. If browns/tans are bad on you, i recommend cultured.
