Gigi lip stain

Post by MagRo » Sat Jan 21, 2012 8:50 pm

Does anyone else have it? Does it look...pink?

I just got one and...it looks alot more like the color of Trixie on either of my monitors- kind of peachy-orange. I like it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I'm wondering if the color on BOTH my monitors is off or if I got a mislabeled lip stain. (it is described as being like Tart blush on the website, which I have, this is definitely more orange than that. )

Gigi is supposed to be pink. Maybe you got a mislabeled Dixie or Trixie?

Here's a picture of what I got- I put it next to tart so you can see the difference in undertone. (sorry it is so dark, when I used flash it just whited the whole picture out)

It looks right to me. Pigments usually change color a little when wetted....

Have you tried using it or swatching it? Mine looks like that in the tube, but when I apply it that is when it shows up as a cool bright pink.

I have, and it looks quite warm on- it worked better with lovelace than with tarte light blush.

(Don't get me wrong, it is very pretty, and I'm keeping it. Just making sure it is the right color so I don't try again to get the cooler pink that's swatched on the website on my next order)

It may be that it shows up differently on different people. I don't think that you got Trixie, because that one is very bright red-orange, almost like a carrot. Chloe is a little warmer looking on me and a lot more sheer. So it is possible you have Chloe if it is more sheer rather than very vivid and bright.
