Lippie recommendations for me? :)

Post by Kirti » Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:18 am

Hey guys,

I'm an SN newbie and looking to get a few lip products in my second order. This is a pic taken indoors with sunlight as the only lightsource. Any suggestions?

Can you give us some ideas about the colors you like to wear? Do you like natural looks or bold ones?

Natural would be good for starters, I'm more of a clear gloss person!

I would probably start with Breathless, Fig Leaf, or Nectar. Breathless is a little pink, Fig Leaf a little plum, and Nectar a little red, but all are pretty neutral and would complement your skintone and lip coloring.

Hi Kirti! I'm similar in coloring and love Truly! It's similar to the lippie you are wearing in your picture. Also, are your lips naturally pigmented pink? My lips are darker (like tan) so it alters the shade of the lippie. So many of the lippies look darker on me than other people. So you may want to consider that :P

If you like natural colors, I wonder if you should start of with the lippies in the sheer category. They are almost like natural balm with a nice hint of color. Colors that come to mind are Truly, Seedy, Genuine, Gleaming, Sparkle.

Hi Kinjali, my upper lip is mauve and my lower one is pink - it comes with being an Indian! I'll check out truly and the sheer lippies - the latter sound a bit more in my comfort zone :)

Okay I'm kinda thinking I'll go with fig leaf for a natural lip and maybe nectar. And for evenings - hot blooded and vintage? Yay or nay? :D
