Silk Naturals

Hi BFA I think that Centerfold is in the same kind of ball park as EDM English Muffin in terms of colour. I can't do nude colours but lots of ladies like Maiden, too (too orangey-tan for me). Divine is a pinker nude but it was discontinued - but Karen is very gracious if you ask nicely *hint hint, mention it in the Holiday thread*. Precious is in a league of it's own. If Idolize is the must own eyeshadow, Precious is the must own lippy. This picture really does is justice:



Ooh hello! That's handy - I just noticed that Maiden is right next to Precious in that photo. Hah!

Ah yes those are the swatches I was looking at in Jen's thread that made me ask. Maiden would definitely be too orange for me, I am a cool/neutral mix for sure, and very fair.

I will head over to that thread and beg hehe.

Well, that's exactly what I thought, but I bought it on a whim. Since then, it became my go-to lipgloss, and (aside from Soft) the only one that I had to repurchase because I ran out. Those swatches are somewhat helpful, but it really depends on your own lips what they turn out as. Not orange at all, more like MLBB, slightly pinkish. My complexion is fair medium, and neutral-ish, and I don't look good in orange and brown lip colors.

Bah! You are a sneaky little enabler

I love precious as it. Like Idolize e/s. I can't really describe it (like idolize eye shadow) it adds color to a casual look and pairs well with a smokey eye. A very versatile shade.

Should I get both Precious and Centerfold? I think I will.
Here's my cart now, I'll order when I get the order in the mail

Hot Blooded- shimmery muted, wearable red

XXX- ultra nude matte vegan lipstick

Maiden- Nude Pink MAC Slimshine Bare clone

Centerfold- very nude tan

Heavy Coverage Ebony Starter Kit

Eye Shadow Primer

Precious- light pink with gold pearl- Hunny Bunny Clone

*crosses fingers for tomorrow*

You don't look like you need anywhere near heavy coverage in that photo! Some gals use it to mix concealer, but for you I'd say go with the original formula or medium if it's for foundation.

I have really bad skin, foundation is exactly why my skin looks like that lol. I'll try the medium and see how that goes.

Who? Me? Hehe, let me know how you like it!

I have a lot of acne scars, and found Medium to be just fine. I used EDM Intensive and Flawless Feline for Meow if it helps. I use my EDM eye kabuki to spot-conceal, and that helps a lot. Depending on whether or not my skin gets worse (I ran out of my prescription acne cream weeks ago, then lost the prescription, and just now found it... I'm breaking out! @__@), I may upgrade to the heavy coverage in my next order... But I bought an extra bag of medium coverage, so that won't be for a while.
