Holy smokes HG! The Christian dior 999 lippie is pure sexy! Love love love that one.the others are pretty too but that one is my favorite!I did a quick mu this am, and I used the SS from MAC's new AA collex.. here is the pic. Again my lips are a pinky mauve and since this is a lustre it really gets skewed by my own lip pigmentation.
Skin: NC15-20 for reference. Lined with What comes naturally.. (lol it's not even visible on me) I stand by my original thoughts I prefer to stay away from lustres.. lol
Rose Dressing: Givenchy..I put this right over the SS since I was told I forgot to put on lipstick.. lol .. more my kinda colour!
and finally, Christian Dior 999..holds my most favoured lippie status
Slightest difference in all the shades, very slight but oh so beautiful on you!
Riri Woo is very deep indeed ( much more than on that picture ), yes the retro matte texture is so difficult to apply and play with - but so is Ruby Woo -Yea Riri woo has a bit of tug but that's what retro mattes do.
It looks beautiful, way deeper than Ruby woo.
Do you notice that too?
They look so similar on the hand, but on the lips very different!
Me too lol, I was told both were similar but it's not true at all, I will swatch them on my lips ( when my lips are not so dry ), clearly they are different, that's why I needed so much Riri Woo lipstick.They look so similar on the hand, but on the lips very different!
Perhaps you are right about Riri Woo having subtle pink undertones,
I am always trying to describe it compared to ruby woo and can only think of deeper lol.
But thank you for the swatches.
I have two Riri Woo's and I love them! My favorites by far!Me too lol, I was told both were similar but it's not true at all, I will swatch them on my lips ( when my lips are not so dry ), clearly they are different, that's why I needed so much Riri Woo lipstick.
See even on her, on the hand almost identical.I found this, Ruby Woo versus Riri Woo :

Totally different on the lips!I wish I had known it was that much different. All I kept hearing was how similar they are, and they do look pretty much identical on a hand swatch, but obviously not on the lips.
Gorgeous on you, it's a vibrant colour ! ( love the blue necklace too, lovely )
Beautiful!
yikes Katred... those are amazing on you too! I need that R.Grenat.. lol.
