Hi all
I need help only SN forum can give lol. I've started my xmas shopping as of today (I'm usually done in two weeks) and I need help with a pressie for my auntie.
She's a beautiful 56 years old and I think the world of her so I’m going to buy her something with silk in it

. I want to get her the Elegant Brown Quad kit, but I am unsure of want lippie to go with it. As I said she's 56 and I would describe her as fun and elegant. She has an up-beat personality, a great sense of humour, lovely and kind. She's not one for being notice so I'm thinking something nudie. She has blue eyes and fair to medium skin with cool under tones. I'm leaning towards breathless but I thought someone out there in Silk Natural land might have a better suggestion. Oh and she loves Tina Turner if that helps
thanks guys
Foundation: 1: baggie 6: ebony: 7 glow
Fav blush: Steller
Fav Lippie: Symphony
Fav combo: cream 1st half of lid, 09:59 2nd half, chocolate twinkle in the crease with Blackheart over it blended out and vanillia on brow bone.

Sarah, I'd think about Breathless & Soft. Soft seems to rarely be mentioned but it's a gorgeous clear pink on the lips...& is "soft"-looking,lol. Love them both...& I'm 55 & wear them with glee, so there ya have it, hehe.

Soft is a great choice. Nectar is also beautiful. Lauren

I'm going to second all of those suggestions and throw in a suggestion for Hot Blooded or maybe Gold Blush. Those are the big 5 safe bets- Breathless, Soft, Hot Blooded, Gold Blush, and Nectar.

Thanks guys these are all lovely. I never thought of nectar or tender (which is funny as I often wear it lol).
Well I've been talking to mum and she wants to get her the lippies and why not the SN foundation kit as auntie always comments on how great my foundation looks - what the hey throw in a some blusher as well.
