Please help narrow my list of kisser slickers!

[cosmeticcosmos]

Ok, I have a quite a list and need some opinions on the colors I'm looking to get. I have 10 picked out, and ideally I would only want to get 5 since it will be my first order, and because I'm also looking to get some liquid lippies.

Any help with narrowing my list down would be very appriciated!! Thanks

-Berry Crush
-Birthday Suit
-Bloom
-Damsel
-Foreplay
-Infatuation
-Raindrops on Roses
-Symphony
-Very Berry
-Winter Rose

Welcome! What do you look like? It seems that you're gravitating towards cooler toned colors- so I'd kick out Berry Crush, Foreplay and maybe Birthday Suit if you want to go with just cool tones. Bloom is very very light as well.

Hi Karen,

I have very fair skin (Mediterranean background) so somewhat yellow undertones and dark brown/black wavy hair. I like the look of Chanel Glossimers in almost all the colors. I usually wear all shades of pink, as well as some nudes (if they won't wash me out) and pale corals.

Thanks!

I would second what Karen suggested. You probably don't want Birthday Suit if certain nudes wash you out.

You should post a picture though.

Out of your list, my favorites are Infatuation and Winter Rose. I'm the resident Winter Rose pusher.

I'm a pale yellow with dark hair too.

Sorry to hijack, but could you compare Winter Rose and Pout? Also, is Winter Rose a sparklier version of Infatuation
(which I'm recently rediscovering and love how it lights up my face) or you just like both?

Hi Andrea,

I don't have Pout or Infatuation any more for reference, but I remember Pout being too cool for my coloring. The pink shimmer just wasn't very flattering to me. Winter Rose has more silvery? sparkles. (Okay, this is going to sound weird.) The shimmer is chunkier and sparklier but at the same time looks more "ooh, what do you have on?" subtle/natural - kind of a similar multifaceted finish as Black Dahlia? My FOTD doesn't quite show it. I think Susan? described it as a frosty "Whirlwind without the brown". Infatuation I just love because it's that nice, delicate balance between pink and plum. Totally unrelated. You might want to ask Janny for a side by side swatch/comparison; I believe she just ordered all three plus Raindrops on Roses recently.

Whirlwind without brown, nice! That's why Whirlwind didn't work for me, was a bit muddy, but WR sounds like just what I want. I asked Janny for more info, thanks for the reference!

Andrea, Did you get Winter Rose? If so, how'd it work for you?

I did not. I realized that based on all the other shimmery lippies I have, they don't really look good on me :/
Maybe, one day I'll work up the courage to give it a try, especially when I sort through my stash and make some room
Thanks for your help though!

Andi, I felt the same way about shimmers - they really don't work for me (unless very sheer like Gold Blush, even then, a bit iffy). Winter Rose is a revelation. I gave it away without trying it the first time I bought it but once I'd seen Emma wear it, I gave it another go. It's jumped right to the top of my 'must own forever' alongside Seedy. It's not so much a shimmer as a fine pearl / satiny sheen. I figure that you're pretty much my 'lip twin' as every word you've written about lippy I've wholeheartedly agreed with as far as I remember, so I'll be bold and suggest this might please you as much as it did me.
