Question:
I'm always looking out for you girls!
I set myself a challenge today - to wear as many different lip shades as poss as they wore off throughout the day - even the ones that look horrific :faint:
This has been spurred by my irrational assumption that lipstick is for grannies :D
So I thought you might as well see the fruits of my labour :D
*Shell Pink (with a dab of hot pink lipgloss dot) - really pretty baby pink lips (but not too pale) with a nice sheen. Not as horridly frosty as I had feared it would be. This is a granny favourite - but is actually lovely! On my to buy list :great:
*Tea Rose (with a dab of candy pink lipgloss dot) - was a bit scarily frosty when it went on, but with a bit of gloss on top it transformed into a lovely sheeny pale nude. A nice balance between pink and peach I think.
*Soft Red (with a dab of candy pink lipgloss dot) - LOVE IT :faint: The perfect red for warm skintones and all redheads - it just went so well with my hair and freckles :D Am definitely purchasing this.
*Garnet (with a dab of bilberry juice lipgloss dot) - a fantastic red to make your teeth whiter, and is VERY gwen stefani. I loved it with pale skin and dark hair but I'm not sure it's as nice as the soft red with my colouring. The girls at work loved it though so I might just be scared by how vivid it was! Also - awesome staying power. Stayed put for at least two hours, including brew time!
*Bare - NOT my colour. On me it looks scarily orange, on asian skin however it's a fairly nice peach. It went on, then off again.
*Brown Sugar (with a dab of bilberry juice lipgloss dot) - oh dear lord I love this colour. Deep browny pink with a pearl finish - and makes your teeth look great. Dark, but not so dramatic as you would think.
*Bronze - If you want a vibrant lip colour but don't want it too in your face, this is a good alternative to red. It's a deep peach with bronze shimmer - really pretty.

It would be lovely :lovegrin: It's on the corally side of red so it is, as it is named, soft :D I have purpley bits in my cheeks and it still looked lovely so I think it would suit cool and warm skintones.
