Welcome to the forum Petrina.
I'm not sure whether it would work, because I'm not sure of the shade of your lips without lipstick, but I think that St Tropez could work. I'm sure other people with colouring closer to yours will be able to make better suggestions though!
You are just gorgeous by the way :)

I just received St Tropez and this color really looks nice :) You should give it a try.

Hmm can't quite see what shade it is in the 2nd pic, but I'm guessing you'd like something slightly or subtly "pale gold" in shade as opposed to red or pink? In that case Mimosa, Foreplay might be worth a try. Possibly Berry Crush too.

Something stronger in colour like your 1st pic to bring out the red in your hair might be Rare Berry.

In the second pic, the color looks like a creamy light peachy gold and quite opaque. There's not an SN lippie like that, at least not that I know of (if there is, someone please tell me so I can buy it! :D ).

St. Tropez is a nude pink color that might look like a pink version of it, its semi opaque and a gloss. Or Centerfold? It's a bit more nude than St. Tropez IMO, and in tube form. It's still a pink too though. It's hard to guess what lippie will give you that effect since we can't see the lip color you start off with! Most SN lippies look different depending on the pigmentation of your lips. ;)

Mimosa and/or Gleaming for the look in the 2nd pic.
Gleaming is a nice sheer golden shimmer lippie, you could also layer it over other lippies to lighten them and add more gold.

In that 2nd pic your lips look like a golden peachy color and St.Tropez is more of a pink so I'm not sure it would look exactly like your 2nd pic, but it is a nice color nonetheless if you are looking for a nice light nude pink.

This is exactly what Mimosa is on me, light peachy gold with some golden frost to it, have you tried it? It is not super opaque like the lipsticks, but it is not as sheer as some of the other lippies.

I WISH Mimosa looked that way on me! It barely shows up on me, kind of like Gold Blush? :? But my lips are weird, so, there ya go. :lol: Thank you for the suggestion though! :D

I gotta try XXX sometime, maybe it PLUS Mimosa will equal that creamy color!?!
