Help find a SN match for lip color?

Post by bookishbeauty » Tue Nov 15, 2011 2:28 pm

This is a link to the Lea Michele Allure cover: http://twitter.com/?photo_id=1#!/msleam ... 76/photo/1

Do you think that a good match for that lip color might be Black Dahlia? Any other ideas?

That looks similar to how Bobbi looks on my lips.

Hi bookishbeauty,
I don't really have an answer to your question, but maybe Nectar, or Autumn Ember?
I do have a question for you, though, if you don't mind.
I read somewhere on the forum that you have Fascinate ALG, and there has been very little buzz about it....no swatches, no reviews, and I was wondering what you thought.
I LOVE brown/tan shimmery glosses that are not too dark. I got Ceylon Spice since I was so excited that it was BROWN, but it was a total fail for me. WAAAAY too dark and dramatic.
How dark is it, and how sheer is it?
It is described on the site as *being the grown-up, more sophisticated version of Bon Bon* so I am curious. Bon Bon, on my lips, barely showed up at all.
I haven't found my HG brown at SN yet. I liked the color of Iced Mocha, but not so fond of the formula. Dancing Shoes I love, but it's too pale on it's own. I adore it over Roxie lipstain. I also love Glacier ALG over Roxie....that is my perfect brown/tan shade.
So, after reading my novella.....any thoughts?

thanks so much,

I really like Fascinate ALG. I think it's perfect for fall, with all the warm neutral clothing. I've only had a sample of Ceylon Spice, but Fascinate is definitely not as dark as that. It's a bit like a warmer and deeper Birthday Suit, I think. The coverage is very good--not sheer--and while I can see the comparison to Bon Bon in the tube, it is MUCH more opaque. I am wearing Bon Bon today, actually, and it's also very hard to see on my lips. Just gives a little something extra. Fascinate is more of a statement brown lip. Here is a pic of me wearing Fascinate. (I am also wearing SN e/s in Model and Custom. :) )

Awesome! thanks so much. That really helps to see it on.....I love it! We have similar coloring in eyes and hair. It looks like you are pretty fair skinned also.
Fascinate=win win for me!!!
Yay!

That picture is a little washed out as far as my skin tone goes, but I used it because it showed the right color for the lip and e/s colors...if you can see my shoulder barely, that is a more accurate skin tone.

Seconding Bobbi although I think Black Dahlia would look beautiful on you.

I think Eden would a very very close match. It has a bit more golden shimmer in it though.
