Please help me narrow down my kisser slicker list !

Post by meriT83 » Thu Mar 24, 2011 2:50 am

So after a few suggestions(thanks kirti, kinjali n jen!) and going throught the site listings, i have ended up wit a way too long list but i really need help narrowing it down for my first order :)

What i've come up with so far are:
Breathless
Nectar
Truly
Berry crush
Berry nice
Gleaming
Vintage
Fig leaf
Autumn ember
Birthday suit
Jaybird
Seedy
Genuine
Sparkle
Infactuation
Black Dahlia
St tropez

I dont know if these will work for me or not, i usually tend to go for browns, brownish reds, plums, etc. Basically, with mixes of brown in it (mainly because im under the impression that is what will work for my pigmented lips)
I want something which will brighten my face. Im looking to get a nude lippie and something darker.

Please point me towards something i cant go wrong with in this list or any others :)

Breathless - pinkish nude, maybe
Nectar - reddish brown nude, a universally flattering color, probably good for everyday red-brown
Truly - ???
Berry crush - ???
Berry nice - ????
Gleaming - ???
Vintage - YES, I think this will be good, this was one of my first instincts
Fig leaf - YES, I think this would be a great MLBB for you
Autumn ember - I haven't tried it, but this was also a first instinct for you
Birthday suit - a warm brown, worth a shot
Jaybird - ???
Seedy - I recall this being kind of cool, I'm not sure
Genuine - ???
Sparkle - Probably looks good on most gals, would be good for casual days or with cooler toned shadows and blushes
Infactuation - Yes, I think this would flatter as a pinkish color
Black Dahlia - Such a beautiful color. Very deep and intense but in a wearable way.
St tropez - it's universally flattering, so perhaps
