Lippies for me

Post by Shirin » Mon Nov 15, 2010 10:19 pm

I havé already tried some lippies and would like to ordre new Colors.
I dont like sticky shiny glossses so some like vintage and modern poèt that i like are out if way.

Was thinking wistaria, mirabelle, désire, golden Berry, unforgettable, hot blooded. Problem is they should show on m'y pigments lips and olive skin, médium in depth( 1 olive, 7 ivory) not much yellow, so not very warm/ tan, mostly neutral to slightly cool. there is a pic of me in thé Fotd thread swhere in thé middle.

Mirabelle too warm/ too light for me? I havé gold blush and it doesnt show on m'y lips. Precious, pout and péace same problem. Very Berry worked well for me, so does reddy, bombshell is limit in Color depth, dont wanna go darker. M'y own lips are a cool quite pale pink/mauve.

You definitely need Seedy. Desire is coppery, so it might be kind of warm for you. Wistaria is kind of light for pigmented lips. Maybe Winter Rose? Winter Rose might be similar to Peace. I do feel you will think Mirabelle is too warm. Berry Crush might work better as it is pinker than Mirabelle.

Precious and Gold Blush are not really supposed to be full on color....they are both kind of a sheer tint of color.

Hi Shirin! Have you looked at Truly? It looks frightening bright in the swatch but it is sheer so it shows up as a nice wash of color, making my lips look supple (my lips are on the darker side - top lip tan, bottom pink). It's the first lippie that I've managed to almost finish (I have about a 1/2 inch left :P). Oh I am also Olive tan :)

Precious and Nude beach didn't show up on me either. I've tried desire and felt it was too deep on me ( I prefer colors that lighten the color of my lips since they are naturally dark). I got a sample of Genuine and that's a nice color too. What type of colors do you like?

I actually love Wistaria, but yeah, it's a bit sheer, so if your lips are pigmented, it may look more like a wash of color, but it's a gorgeous purple color for olive skin IMO.

I don't find the SN liquid glosses sticky or too shiny, more like a nice sheen, not the super wet look.
I don't know if you own any of them, but that's just my impression.

Based on your lip color, I think St. Tropez would actually look nice on you, and even Summer Fling. That is, if you want to give a try to the liquid glosses :)

I second Jen's suggestion of Seedy. Have you tried the plummy glosses, like Fig Leaf or Figment? They could enhance your lip color nicely without going too dark.

I think hot blooded would be good on you. It has a nice amount of color to it.

I'm a bit darker than you but I really like berry nice. It's a reddish-pinkish colour, not TOO warm so you ought to like that. And try rapturous if you like pinks. It has no brown in it so not too warm. :)
