Which lippies are lightest?

Just curious which lippies are the lightest in color, can be any color. Centerfold is too dark on me, and I just got a sample of Bloom and it is not too dark, but it doesn't lighten my lips like I thought it might(its more of a medium pink, and not baby pink like I thought it would be). So far Gleaming is the only one I have found that lightens my lips, but I have not tried very many. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Oh, I have been curious about that too ... have been looking for a light pink lippie with no shimmer for a while now, but Bloom seems to be the lightest ...
I do hope I've missed something though!
ETA: Thanks! Looking for swatches of Mirage ...

Thanks Susan!
I have a cart going right now and Mirage is definatley in it, it looks so pretty. I don't mind if not all the ones I get are light(I like variety

), I am just hoping that maybe I can find at least one lighter than my lips color. Maybe an opaque baby pink lippie will come out for Valentine's Day *crosses fingers*

I am used to brands having a couple of really light colors, like a nude and/or a light pink. Colors that "erase" yours lips sort of. But I have not found any truly light lippie colors yet at Silk Naturals, it probably doesn't help that I am ghostly pale
EDIT: Maybe this is something for the wish list, I'll have to check out some lipstick colors next time I'm at Sephora, so I can suggest ones to clone

What about Tender? I think it is a light pink, but it is not opaque, so if your lips are pretty pigmented then I guess they will look even pinker.
ETA: If you are looking for something opaque that is going to block your lip color you might want to look at the lipsticks. XXX or possibly Negligee...I didn't see any real pinky ones. That would be nice

Modern Poet lightens my lips. It is on the sheer side, so you may need to apply a few layers.
I've been eyeing Tender for awhile, it sound great.

Hmm.. am I looking at something wrong, or is Tender described as being brown, and it looks pretty dark in the swatch...
Modern Poet is a liquid gloss, right?
MAC Myth and Angel lipsticks look (online anyways) like a color I'd love for SN to dupe!

Yes, It's a liquid gloss. They aren't sticky like most liquid gloss...your hair doesn't stick to them!!!

I'm waiting on a pale pink also. I bought bloom hoping that was it and it's not quite light enough for me either.
