Lippie Questions

Post by PalaFerry » Fri Jan 07, 2011 11:30 am

I'm looking for a few lippies, specifically I'd love to find a sheer berry (sort of like a tinted balm or lip stain), a light but not pale peachy-pink, and maybe a pink with a hint of nude or warmth (similar to Aromaleigh Rosebud if anyone tried that). I was looking at the Kisser Slickers since I prefer lippies with the texture of a tinted balm or moisturizing lipstick, not a liquid gloss. I'm very pale with peachy-yellow undertones, lightly pigmented lips. I also don't like a ton of shimmer for lippies, though a little is ok. So I was thinking of these, what do you think?

Berry Nice -- is this very sheer? If so, it's probably what I'm looking for. I do like Tart blush, but applied very, very sheerly on my pale skin!

Foreplay or Darling -- these look like promising peachy-pinks, but are they very shimmery? Can anyone compare them?

Peace -- this might be a nude-pink on me, but again is it very shimmery? Too cool or too brown for me? (I have a very clear skintone, can't wear lippies that are very brown/beige.)

Or if you have other suggestions, that'd be great too :)

Berry Nice is definitely a good choice.....

Foreplay is pinker than Darling, and I think Darling might lean a little brown for what you are wanting. They are both in the medium shimmer range. That means the shimmer is somewhat noticeable, but not super shimmery.

Peace would be a good nude pink for you. It is in the mid shimmer range, too. The shimmer is there but not super noticeable.
