Dixie looks perfect, can't wait to get mine! I'm resolved to wear more warm shades this summer - may even have to get a F/S lovelace to match all the pretty peaches
Tango looks a bit like Dame - am I off?

This is about 3 layers of Gigi topped with clear ALG
Also: For whatever reason, i didn't photograph my face at the fairie festival today, but Rush and Biscayne make a fantastic fairie eye.

Sam, you have golden undertones don't you? Do you find Gigi neutral enough? I've ordered but am thinking it might be a bit cool toned for me.
Great swatch btw! Do you have a swatch of Biscayne? I may have missed it..

i have a warm olive undertone, but i'm neutral enough to pull off a lot. Gigi actually does work for me (which surprised me, because i was kind of skeptical when i bought it, but we all know me and lippies...) I was tanner the day i got it (so warmer/more golden) and DH agreed it was a color that worked for me. Cabaret is a little more difficult for me to pull off, but i think that has more to do with needing to color block off my lipline or buy a neutral liner so that my pink lips don't show around the edges. I think I could probably pull it off, but anyone warmer than I am would probably have a hard time not looking a bit dead in it.
I've been sick most of the week (the past 5 days) so I haven't been swatching much. I actually swatched gigi earlier in the week and just didn't get around to loading it til i was moping around all ill and such. Biscayne is a complex and pretty pink/copper with a touch of taupe. Makes a beautiful crease color.

*Before you ask, no i do not have the new lippies yet, they got posted before a holiday weekend.
There's no lippie in the pic below, that's my natural lip color
