Lippie Help

Post by Chingers » Sun Mar 29, 2009 10:54 am

Hey all,

I am eyeing the lipsticks and demiglosses so colour advice please!

I am Asian with light/med warm skin tone. I cannot wear lippies with any brown in it :| ...just clashes badly with my warm skintone and makes my lips look thin and small.

Demi-gloss:

-Debating about Capricious and Fearless....both very pink and hopefully wearable?

Lipstick:

-Rapture...does this pink have any brown it in?

Thanks!

Ching :P

Rapture is a nice rosy pink. It is slightly understated in that it does have a small touch of brown to make it look like natural lip color, rather than 'in your face' pink. According to what you described about your color preferences, I do not think it will be too brown for you.

Capricious and Fearless are both bright and pigmented pinks. Fearless is the brightest of the two and is more of a shimmery fuschia. Capricious is a shimmery coral pink.

I am Chinese with light/med warm skin. I got Fearless and I couldn't make it work. Somehow the fuschia is too bright. I gave it away but my friend (another Chinese with medium warm skin) wasn't keen on it either. I should have swatched it before I gave it away. I'll see if I can get it back just to do a swatch for future reference.

Just an update....

I got Fearless and Capricious, both works on me!

In the first two pic I applied a sheer layer of Fearless

In the latter photos I layered Divine over Fearless to make a new shade.

Love them :) Thanks all for the advice!

Very nice, Chingers! Those bright lippies are you!

(I have to say that I love your freckles. They are so cute and unexpected. They set you apart. ;) )
