Not at all!!! Well, actually that depends. Some cool peaches or corals may turn into horrifying orange on me (i.e. Maybelline Iced Peach Tea). Some pinks also makes me look like a clown (i.e. NYX Tea Rose). I personally also deeply despise nude cool blue-based pinks like MAC Viva Glam Gaga. You know, the barbie kind of shades. They just scream hoochie and jersey shore-ish to me. It's just me. I know Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna sometimes wear those kind of shades and still look awesome.
But that doesn't mean you should run away when you hear "cool shades". The trick is to get the brightest and boldest color you can find. Get fuchsias and hot pinks, like MUFE Rouge Artist Intense #36, MAC Girl About Town, MAC Gladiola, NYX Round Lipstick Chloe, NYX Black Label Hot Pink or Orchid. So you definitely MUST get Gigi, Doll, Showstopper, and Crazy Love.
You can also wear blue-based/cool reds instead of the usual orange reds or warm reds. In fact, in my house we tend to collect more cool reds because they appear more vibrant. We have L'Oreal Milla Jovovich, Guerlain Kiss Kiss Exces de Rouge, and Guerlain KissKiss Laque Hollywood Rouge. One of the warmer shade red (tomato red) we have is the Topshop matte red lipstick. Try Crimson.
I even usually prefer burgundies/wine-red/plums. My favorite is Guerlain KissKiss Laque Purple Star, YSL Forbidden Burgundy, and L'Oreal Plum Pizzaz. Give Cassis a shot.
HTH!
I formerly bought Caramel, Nectar, Maiden (all I liked) and Birthday Suit (not good on me).
