Looking for golden lip colors

Post by JenK » Fri Feb 19, 2010 3:55 pm

I LOVE the golden shimmer of Gold Blush, but it is a bit too sheer for my medium pigmented lips. What other lip colors will give me a golden shimmer. Would Desire, Nude Beach or Frolic work? On me Gold Blush and Berry Crush look nothing alike.

Thanks

Desire and Nude Beach are both more coppery. Precious might still be too light....it is only slightly more colored than Gold Blush. Berry Crush would have been my choice. Hmmmm.....need to think on this one some more.

Jenw,
Mimosa is closer to Gold Blush on my lips...strange.

Oxana,
Gleaming has been on my wish list for awhile. The pictures are very helpful!! Is Gleaming yellow at all?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean, isn't all gold yellow? It has lots of fine shimmer to it, so maybe that makes it more gold than yellow, since gold is more shiny. Sorry, I wasn't much help.... I guess if you are thinking of like a bright yellow like a canary yellow, then no it is not like that.
