Oh, Vintage would look really pretty on you :) I like Fig Leaf too, that sounds like a great neutral. It's more matte in my opinion than Nectar, so maybe you can use both, depending on what you're going for? You could also consider Gold Blush: it may not show up as a color, but it's very nice in itself to add a bit of warm shine and it layers great with others.

My lips are darker (like tan) so it alters the shade of the lippie. So many of the lippies look darker on me than other people. So you may want to consider that :P

If you like natural colors, I wonder if you should start of with the lippies in the sheer category. They are almost like natural balm with a nice hint of color. Colors that come to mind are Truly, Seedy, Genuine, Gleaming, Sparkle.
Hi Kinjali, my upper lip is mauve and my lower one is pink - it comes with being an Indian! I'll check out truly and the sheer lippies - the latter sound a bit more in my comfort zone :)
Yup, that sounds like my lips, although my top lip is darker :) Let me know how these lippies work out for you! I might be tempted to get more colors :)

Wow - how have I not seen gold blush? It seems like a great lippie for a warm toned girl to have in her arsenal ;)
