Fig Leaf my new favorite lippie!

Post by Trainer » Sat Dec 26, 2009 6:44 pm

Just thought I'ld say (in case anyone was thinking about getting it) what a nice color fig leaf is. Its a sheer plum. Darker and sheerer than in the swatch that goes with it. Not too dark to wear everyday though. I have very light skin and it looks very natural on me. I've been into light colors but for some reason I thought I'ld try it, and I'm glad I did! :D

Fig Leaf is darker and plummier than Jaybird. Of the three swatched on my hand right now, it goes Jaybird (lightest and brownest), Nectar (kicked up a notch with some plummy-red) to Fig Leaf (darkest, and definitely plum).

My favourite for wearing is Nectar, then Fig Leaf for an everyday sort of gloss, and I don't like Jaybird as much - it's not bad, I'm just not into brownish-reds that are more brown than red - but they're all definitely wearable, especially if you like nudes. So it depends on which colours you fancy most. Jaybird's warm, Fig Leaf leans to cool, and Nectar is just about in the middle.
