So many lip options of goodness perplex me.

[lambchop]

There are so many lovely lip color options. I have Rare Berry and just received Hot Blooded today - both are wonderfulforahappysmile colors on me. My wishlist includes Foreplay, Precious, and Tender. It may soon include a multitude of others. I'm pondering Swank and/or Black Dahlia. Any thoughts? I'm a pale, warm gal with yellow undertones with sometimes overly pink cheeks. I look best in warms and purples are not friendly on my lips.

TIA .

I like Black Dahlia, even though usually I can't pull off plummy colors - my gf is now the proud owner of Sweet Nothing. The description says it's a "very deep brownish plum shimmer", so there is enough warm in it for you to make it work.

Swank could be worn alone, but it's more like a layering color, just depends what you're looking for. You could buy another plum that you perhaps like more than Black Dahlia and get Swank to build a similar effect. I have both, but then again, I'm a crazy collector, and like pondering 30 mins each morning trying to pick out what I'm gonna grace my lips with.

i've been wearing tender alot recently. it's an awesome, easy sheer beautiful color. i love precious too when you need a sheer but a pop of gold. i know that the gal who requested the dupe likes it for brides for their wedding day...and it really is that kind of color. absolutely gorgeous but in a natural way, not "look i have lip color on"...

Oh, I hope I didn't confuse you, that description I added was re Black Dahlia. Sweet Nothing is a sheer plum. Because I have pigmented lips, sheers always look a bit too dark on me, and that one ended up making me look like a cast member of Reality Bites.

Thanks again and I was confused so the help for the helping was appreciated.

I just got Black Dahlia and I love it! I posted a picture wearing it in the foundation color help thread to get Jen's advice on my foundation mix I made. I have rather pale pink lips, so that might give you and idea on how someone with pale lips looks in it. My foundation is a mix of ivory and Warm gold with some yellow in it if that helps.

Diana,

Thanks. Black Dahlia looks nice on you but I'm afraid it carries a bit much purple for me.
