Medium peach lippie

Post by Charz » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:01 am

I would love a medium peach, relatively pigmented, that isn't very bright or pinkish. I've searched through the lippies and can't find one that quite fits the bill, as the peaches tend to be pink or too light and sheer. Temptation looks garish on me because of the vibrant pink, Ingenue is also quite bright and light, while things like Mimosa and Ambrosia are too light-toned and sheer. In short, I am looking for something similar to EDM's Siesta lippie.

If it were at all possible to fill this gap, that would be fantastic.

Seconding this. Would like a Medium Peach too.
I have/had Mimosa, Temptation, Darling, Foreplay, Zinnia, Mango (which leans bronze on me) and something mid-toned peach would be great for work.

Have you tried Caramel? It is not sheer.

Peachy Keen is sheer, but a mid-toned peach.

Me too!! I went through all the colors listed above and put a few in my wish list. I finally decided on Ingenue but I'm still not sure I chose the right one. I'll update when it gets here.

Caramel makes a nice light nude on me with a brownish tinge, so not peach.

Peachy Keen's on my wishlist :) but I wonder if there's anything that's not so sheer.

kellyboo - looking forward to your recommendations when you get them :)

Caramel's brown on me, too. It's a great color, but it's not peach. I am waiting to try Peachy Keen, but I'm basically looking for the same thing.

Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely try Peachy Keen next time, but my search for something with more coverage (and maybe darker still? Maybe it's the sheerness, but Peachy Keen looks like it will lighten my lips) continues. Mango looks intriguing as well but it's lighter than what I'm looking for and will draw attention to the lips.

Aud, we seem to be in the same boat :) I'm hoping for this to be a work-appropriate colour too. There's just something more mature about peaches when it comes to yellow-toned skin.

Ingenue is just OK. I think it's just a little bit too bright on me. The coverage is good and it's a really pretty color but if you can't do bright, it's not for you either.

I'm gonna try Peachy Keen and Mimosa next.
