I would love to have what she's wearing:

I have similar complexion and a bit darker blue eyes, and love dramatic lips. I don't think there is a fuchsia color like this offered on SN yet, but educate me if I missed it. I'm not against layering either

Just to add, my lips are quite pigmented, and I can usually pull off dark reddish lips even with my (or due to?) my fair skin color.

I think Fearless *might* work, but I'd prefer matt-ish finish.

do you have "rapture"? I'm having trouble on how to up the pink without shimmer (i think fearless would do it but it's shimmery). maybe damsel or soft?
I definitely recommend rapture if you don't have it, i think you'll really like it. I like to pair it with seedy but damsel might do what you're looking for

I have Damsel and Seedy, and they more darkish raspberry/pink on my lips, not as blueish as I would like it to be to get this color. I love them both, especially for the summer

I have Soft as well, and that's just a nice layer of pink on my lips.
I was looking at Rapture before, looks very elegant. And, if I can't find anything else, I'll go for Fearless. The color is the closest to what I'm looking for. Thanks for the input!

I'd second Egerandi's request for a bluer-toned deeper pink / fuchsia. I've also got similar colouring but with fair hair, so I'd love the above described colour. I'd also love it to be a fairly matte and sheer (ish) colour. I'd also really love a sheer, matte red. If it's not true red, then I'd love it leaning towards a blue base as there are already a lot of orange / brown bases (icky on me) or cool pinks warmed up by golden shimmers. I have a notion that strong bold colours will be desirable but in sheer formulas to make them easier to wear and softer to all complexions.

Happy to report that I believe I found the perfect layering combination for the color I was looking for. First, I layer clear lippie, then add Sephora's Lush Flush Wine Lip & Cheek Stain (sorry, sucker for lip stains, but they dry out my lips, hence the clear lippie first), and the add, depending on my mood any of the following: Damsel, Seedy and Fearless. Perfect combination, and very nice staying power.

I just got Reddy. It really does come out reddish fuschia on me. It might be worth a try.

Oh yes, Reddy is on my list for next round. So is Centerfold and Sparkle, and Gold Blush, which I'm replacing for the second time. I swear I should tie a cord around the lippie and my belt, they keep falling out of my pocket
