Need help finding a dupe for my HG lippy!

Post by frckls » Thu Feb 24, 2011 9:58 am

Hi!

Me and my sister just recently found our HG lipcolor, Guerlain Kiss Kiss Laque in Sensual Nude. It's the best peachy pink that is great being paired up with heavy eyes or alone. The color payoff and lasting time is magnificent, and it truly brightens up my face.
However, I find it a little bit too tacky, of which my boyfriend never allows his lips to touch mine (Booo!). Plus it's pretty pricey for daily use. I want something not glassy, and cheaper for an alternative. Being healthier would be a bonus!
I'm not really the kind of girl who stacks on makeups. I tend to choose the best shades and looks for casual and fancy and stick with them. So the final picks should not be too many. I also tend to steer away from frosty lip products. Gloss, or cream or little hints of shimmer is fine. Also, the color should be opaque.

I've been eyeing some of this colors
Negligee
Fashionista
Rapturous
Eternal
Birthday Suit
Caramel
Centerfold
Darling
Foreplay
Ambrosia
Maiden
Bisou
Cultured
Ingenue
Polished Pink
St. Tropez
Aria
Prelude
Rhapsody
(Ugh too many temptation!!)

For reference, below is me and my sisters on my graduation. Me and babysister (the smallest of the bunch) on my left/your right wore Guerlain Kiss Kiss Laque in Sensual Nude. Since my younger sister's (on my right/your left) is darker than both of us (my babysister being the fairest of us all) Sensual Nude is too pale for her liking (and we thought so too!), so she opted for the red Guerlain (forgot the name, sorry!). Her shade rocks anykind of red gorgeously.

Given her skin color, her daily color are mauve and mocha.

Can you help me with a color for my tan younger sister, too? You know how sisters are. We have to buy things in threefold to avoid jealousy, bickering, and catfights hahahahah.

Your comment would highly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

I have finally find the exact perfect dupe for Guerlain Kiss Kiss Laque in Sensual Nude in Silk Naturals. It tuned out to be CARAMEL! I will put up a swatch later, but it is the exactly same colour to Sensual Nude.

Even my sister (NC30-35) who can't pull of Guerlain Sensual Nude because it looks too pale on her, practically begged to me for Caramel. LOL. She already stole my first Forever cream blush, now she just have to wait for another order if she wants Caramel that bad.

AT LAST! :D :D
