i love this lip color on Zoe Saldana. I normally am scared off by bold colors but this red looks really nice against her skin tone. What SN lip color would come close to it?

Any of our reds that are on the cool side. One that is more sheer to start with is Bitten.

I would have never guessed the color she's wearing is a cool shade! I'll have to make myself more familiar with the reds. I've tried Bitten before but it wasnt close to that color on me and it wasn't sheer...(but lippies really don't look the way they should on me besides the ALG's).

Do you think Bombshell or Crimson would be close Jen? I know it's a shot in the dark with how lippies turn on me but any help is appreciated :)

Bombshell and Crimson....both are redder than what she is wearing to my eye. She looks like she is wearing a red that leans kind of hot pink. However, on you it might work. I would probably pick Crimson over Bombshell.
