Photos of centerfold on the lips?

Post by Leisje » Mon Jun 01, 2009 1:52 pm

I am very interested in buying a new lippie, as I haven't been able to find one that suits my pale white skin. The swatch of Centerfold looks beautiful, but I am well aware that colours can look a lot different when they are worn on the lips than they do swatched on skin. (Thats been a problem for me.)

Could someone who has this lippie please post a photo of it being worn on the lips? I'd love to see how it actually looks when worn to better gauge if it is what I'm looking for.
Thanks a bunch!

Hi! I posted a pic of me wearing Centerfold in the FOTD thread. Go to http://www.silknaturals.com/forum/viewt ... &start=170 and the pic should be somewhere in the middle (I believe that's page 18 of that thread).

My lips are quite pigmented, a bit lighter than the color here: http://www.colourlovers.com/color/C06078/dusky_rose
Pinkish nudes look better on me than brownish nudes, but that could be my skin tone, not just my lips.

I like Centerfold a lot, a no-nonsense tamed pink nude :)

I don't have any myself right now, but egerandi posted one on this page of the link below.

http://www.silknaturals.com/forum/viewt ... 8339#p8339

Her lips are naturally a little pinker and a bit darker than Centerfold, I think.

P.S. We must have posted at about the same time.

i have a photo of centerfold on my lips (only lips in the pic) on my vox photos page, along with some other SN lippies
( http://testqueen.vox.com/library/photos/ ). there is a photo of my bare lips for comparison also, but i think they appear a little lighter in the pic then in real life. i have pinkish lips that are moderately pigmented (lighter than egerandi's natural lip color methinks). hth.

Thanks for the photos guys, this really helps a lot!

Egerandi, that's a really pretty FOTD.
My lipcolour is just about the same as yours, packgal. The photos will all the lippies on you was really really helpful!

Thanks Leisje! And Packgal, you've got some lips on you, wow! And yes, my lips are definitely more pigmented than yours, but it looks like Leisje found a match :)

yeah, i have full lips...as i teen i hated them (people even teased me) but now i think they're great! ;)
i'm glad the photo helped, Leisje...i really like the color alot. interestingly, to me it is not the most moisturizing of karen's lippies, but the color is so great i often reach for it to complete a "look." if you get it let us know how it works out!
