Rei's lippie question.......

Post by rei » Mon Dec 22, 2008 3:19 pm

Hi jen, do you think foreplay would get me this look? or perhaps layered with vivacious?

i'm sure jen will be along to answer your question, but the pic you posted reminded me of this thread. although i think you are looking for a slightly pinker look than the one in that thread, the pic you posted seems to be an opaque pink with a grey-nude tone. foreplay is peachy pink with gold shimmer, and vivacious is a bright coral pink; i'm not sure that either one is right to give you a look that's similar to the one in the picture.

depending on your natural lip color, i'd recommend trying some of the same lippies recommended in the other thread: either 1) grace or swept away demi-gloss with modern poet liquid gloss layered on top, or 2) divine demi-gloss with pink lady or ice princess liquid gloss on top. you could also try the black label aria gloss (alone or with modern poet or pink lady on top), although it might be a little too sheer. putting any of the liquid glosses on top will give you a bit of shimmer but from the ones i've tried it's pretty subtle.

hope that helps :)

Packgal has nailed it. I really can't think of any others that will work better than what she mentioned. I also agree with her that Vivacious and Foreplay will be too bright for the look you are wanting.

Grace, Swept Away, Aria, and Divine are all good options. That is also about how they run pinkest to nudest. A gloss over the top in any of the ones mentioned will look great.

(Also, I had to move the last three posts to the thread wher you originally posted this. The swatch is not an SN product and might cause some confusion under that heading. It was just a little hosekeeping thing.)

Rei-

Please check the new Centerfold lip color. It is a light nude wash on my lips.
