It looks like a Burnt orange on me

Yeah I think it's better I passed, I can't pull of anything remotely brownish/tan etc

Haha I think SS was the one lipsticks most put on the back burner. No one wants Chapstick lips.
But all these pictures of SS, has a lot of girls rethinking that notion.
I know I am for sure picking it up and more than likely a BU lol

Funny part is, it's actually identical to one of my lipbalms, and that is exactly why I wanted it. I don't like wearing lipbalm out in public since it's too slippery and I end up with lines on my lips.

I knew it would be bad on me. Matte nudes are tricky IMO.

I just don't like it cause it looks like a burnt orange on me .. I'll do a lighter lip liner and lighter nude gloss maybe it will work better

I took a chance on this one and I'm so glad I did. Not so great on my wallet but this girl is getting two BU's that's how much I love it!

So far, I love what I got. In these pics, I'm wearing Enchanted One and Delphic. I'm hoping that these pics will help some people decide on Delphic, because it's really hard to capture it in hand swatches. I used Worldly Wealth blush (which everybody needs) and a little Magnetic Appeal to highlight. I'm about an NC42 (if MAC made an NC41 that would probably be perfect) and it is subtle, but it shows up. On my hand, it looks like nothing, but on my face, it's definitely there. I'm using it as a contour/blush kinda thing. I love bronzey brown cheeks, so if you're into that, and warm toned, I'd give it a try (Thanks to Mac-Guy for the suggestion). Also, loving Water Deities and Mystical. They're great everyday colors. Don't wanna make this post any longer, but I also bought the Conceal and Correct Palette in Medium Deep. For my WOC dealing with hyper-pigmentation, please give it a try. The Burnt Coral alone is worth the $40, for me.

you look so pretty in this picture love the look

I'll adopt you then!

I'm a good crazy fun mom/mother-in-law that supports my kids. And, I share my mu stash too

I was gonna get Enchanted One for the hell of it and I'm so glad I didn't, because It would have looked hella orangey on me and that is not a good look for a super pale person such as myself.

 

[mousygiggles]

Thanks! @liba convinced me to get it. It's such a nice pinky-nude, and I usually hate anything pink. And the finish is great, too! Matte, but not dry.

It looks great on darker skin but I think it would be eew on me.

Right? I knew it was a no go on me for that reason but would pull pink on darker skin.

@Dolly Snow SS is in no way Chapstick lips.

I keep checking the tracking on my black box lol....as if the ups guy pulled some super sneaky spy moves to make it to my porch without my dog noticing.

 

[lipstickaddict]

On me it is a true Old Gold.

Love that description. Will have to check it out!

I got my brushes and it is TOTAL love. The face brush especially. Just perfect and what I wish the other split fiber face brush was. Remember, these are a 2-1 in 1 brush and that rocks my socks.

I like the idea of just throwing it on and going!
