Seedy vs Provoke

Post by Oxana124 » Sun Sep 09, 2012 3:48 pm

Could someone compare these 2 for me. I have Provoke and am wondering how Seedy compares to it.

Provoke is lavender. It kind of has a milky quality to it.

Seedy is a raspberry color that leans slightly blue. There is no milkiness to the color. It is all on sheer color.

They are kind of in the same color family. If you took the white out of Provoke, it would be purple. Seedy is a little redder/pinker than that.

I know you know how colors go together.....do my descriptions help?

Thank you Jen, that helps :)
So when you wear these, which looks darker? Since you say Provoke has some white in there, does it look lighter? Or because Seedy is more sheer, maybe it looks lighter?

Seedy looks darker....at least on me. I find Provoke more opaque, but Seedy darker in shade even though it is sheer. Does that make sense?

Have you ever tried Berry Nice? It is just a bit bluer than Berry Nice.

I have them both. I definitely prefer Provoke. It is an incredible dramatic color you can wear in the day. Love its opacity. Seedy is darker, but very sheer. On me it is a little darker than mlbb color.
