Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
I think it would look great! Don't use any frost pinks...unless you plan on putting some gloss over it. Will look around for what might look great.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
If you wanna go very light pink, Pretty Please can go on very opaque if you want it to. That colour actually looks quite a bit like the one being worn in your example. Pretty Please definitely lighter than my own skin tone (I'm a C3...pretty damn pale), so it'll definitely stick out against your dark skin. You should also try priming or filling your lips with either concealer or pencil first, so it'll be easier to pack on the colour and it won't smudge off as easily.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
What I'd do is... either get a lipstick as close as possible a match to your skintone, and move one shade pinker. That way it won't look too pasty.
Or... you could also use a concealer or foundation, then use something sheer and pink over top.
Post pics if you get a combo you like!

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
I would say concealer/foundation on your lips w/ a LIGHT layer of a pinky gloss. I probably wouldn't recommend a lipstick cause honestly, most of MAC's pale pink lipsticks look chalky on deeper skintones.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
NARS Sexual Healing lipstick has become my new baby pink. It's warm toned, with a hint of gold, but it still has that sexy nude look to it. It's on the cover of the Sephora catalog...



It's GORGEOUS. I don't own it, so I can't do an FOTD or swatch of it (I put it on at work) but I plan on getting it this weekend, I'll try and swatch it for you then.

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
I'm sure you could doll, it would just need to be the right shade.

I definitely don't recommend anything opaque or matte, it's only going to make you look like Tyrone Biggums

Re: Baby Pink Lips for Dark Skintones
I wanted this look for my sis' wedding and the MA gave me Angel lipstick with Lust lipglass and Naked Rose liner. I didn't like it (I have issues with pinks on me) but I still received tons of complements.
