I was at CVS today and they were giving out free samples of Salma Hayek cool toned lip color quad. I tried the pinkberry color and fell in love with it-it really brightened up my face. I found a swatch of it on someones site below as I couldn't get one myself. Not sure what the closest color would be to pinkberry... Any suggestions?

To my untrained eyes, Pink Berry looks so much like Reaction. Maybe others want to chime in, because I might be wrong.

The first thing I thought was Reaction too. But now that I swatched Reaction and compared, Reaction is more bright pink while the photo of Pink Berry looks to have more lavender. I tried Reaction and Provoke..but that didn't really work. Adding Coy to the mix works a little better..but I'm having a hard time trying to set the right pink to purple ratio.

It looks like Reaction mixed with a dark nude.

Thanks for your suggestions ladies

I was thinking Reaction as well, but maybe not as bright. So I will have to think up what to mix with it to get the right hue...despite my painting degree-this will be a challenge!

I just tried a FOTD with Reaction and Hey Baby. It's the right milkiness but missing the purple hue. Maybe something deeper like Menage or one of the plums?

Bobbi seems the closest to my eye. Perhaps Bobbi with a breathe of Coy over it.

Bobbi with coy might work...I was also thinking maybe Carnation? On my screen it looks pretty close-but it's always hard to tell online.

Bobbi! Yes. I think you would like Cultured too. I don't know why I don't have those in my stash any more. Carnation was very peachy on me. I don't think it's quite what you're going for.
