I'm liking Wistaria except that it's too light for me (I'm wearing it over something that's too dark and together they're great, lol) and I prefer minimal or no shimmer and like sheers. I do best in colors that are right in the middle -- not too light, not too dark -- but if Seedy is sheer enough it just might work. I was looking at the cools instead of the neutrals since there's a lot of blue in my lips and leaning toward Hibiscus, but it's shimmery and not very violet. Figment also looks interesting, but I'm confused about whether or not it's shimmery -- it's described as a shimmer, but then it gets a 0 on the shimmer scale. Simmer looks like a beautiful blue/red on my monitor l but worry that it might be too dark for me. Any thoughts?
Sounds like Seedy may just work for you: it's sheer, so you can make it lighter or darker if you want, and it's definitely more darker in tone than Wistaria (my current go-to blue pink).
I like Hibiscus, but I usually layer it under Shrieking Violet for the full effect and don't wear it by itself. Figment is not really shimmery but has a nice sheen to it (not as glassy/glossy as the liquid ones, but not as shimmery as say Very Berry). It leans more into the plum/wine colors, not really berry.
Unfortunately, I could not make Simmer work for me by itself, and have other ones I use for layering, so I can't say much about it. I think it was just too bright dark pink for me, but not in a good way.
If you like Wistaria, btw, you could try Innocent to cover your dark color instead to get a different effect. They almost look the same color on my lips.
Hope this helps!
I had Damsel quite some time ago, but did not repurchase although I don't remember why I didn't. I like mauvey/pinky/plummy tones, just not as dark as Seedy. Any other suggestions?
