I love Raindrops on Roses. One of my favourites that I actually hoard for days when I want more pigmented LGs on my lips and to look more "professional" rather than an au naturel look at work.
Here's how it looks on my lips.
I have very warm undertones but I can imagine how this would look sensational for cooler skintones.

Centerfold looks a bit brownish in the tube, but it turns a lovely muted pink on my fairly pigmented lips. Not really nude nude (still searching for that one, maybe I should try Mirage...), but definitely MLBB for me. As surprising as it may be, Maiden is more of a neutral for me, but not nude either. I can't wear browns, and neither of those turn any brown on me at all.

With your lips being as pigmented as they are, its difficult to guess what it will truly show up as. Most likely it will darken them a tad and add a touch of brown. But you said Cultured is your least favorite because it looks brownish, so that makes me think Centerfold might now work great for you. Just my thoughts.

Thank you all so much!

Raindrops on Roses looks gorgeous, and it's definitely staying in my cart. :)

Based on the description of Bobbi, I think it will be so similar to Cultured that I'm skipping it.... Buuut now I've added Infatuation and Mimosa to my cart as well. XD Thanks, Oxana!

Aud,

R on R looks so pretty on you. From the swatches that so isn't the color I was expecting.

I still felt kinda iffy about Raindrops and Roses, so in the end Mimosa and Fashionista stayed in my cart. Got them today!

And yup, I'm in my PJs, and my eye makeup is smudged after a 12 hour workday. :P

Oxana
Do you have any other suggestions on peaches and pinky-peaches? Compared to Jaybird, Ambrosia, Ingenue, St. Tropez, Menage, or Centerfold, for example, how does Mirage compare? I'm currently looking for a less-tacky and healthier version of my HG Guerlain Kiss Kiss Laque in Sensual Nude. I'm NC20-25, Light Medium Golden in Lumiere/Creamy Bisque in Lucy Minerals, MUFE HD 125. I've been pondering on too many lippies I still haven't done my purchase. :(
