lipstick recs?
i'm looking for some new lipsticks. i prefer lustre finishes over all the others, and i don't want anything too bold. i'd rather stick to nude-sih colours or very light, not overpowering, colours. for now, since it's winter i'm REALLY pale...like viva glam v even looks dark on me hah.
any recs on what lippies i should pick up next? also, any recs for the chromeglasses would be great too because they're really sparking my interest

Well if you're looking for stuff that's pretty light, I like Pretty Please, Blankety, High Tea, Bare Venus, Expensivo, Velvet Teddy, Body Suit...that's all I can think of for now.  For Chromeglasses I'd check out Uberpeach, Chromaliving, and Metaphysical. They're all pretty darn light.

Syrup is lovely for a natural-ish look, I think (even though it's not strictly a nude).
And Brave is really pretty, and not too overpowering. Viva Glam V looks too dark on me too, but Brave is just right.

Any of the lighter Chromeglasses, but I think Chromaliving would look really good on you.

Romanced(l/s) is such a lovely nude-ish color with a hint of light pink. And it's a Lustre finish! As you probably know, it's a limited edition from the Ornamentalism collection, but if you type "MAC Romanced" in the search box on Nordstrom.com, the lipsick still comes up, at least at this right moment as I've just checked. I love the l/s!
