I am having a horrible lippie day.. lol. I used Mac Mocha.. and it's blah on me. I will post pics. It;s opaque so it covers my pink mauve lips. but something doesn't work. grr It;s a peachy brown and pulls a bit orange on me.




After lunch I was fed up with Mocha so I found MAC Hibiscus (both in the Surf baby packaging so stored together ).. and applied that. No liner over pink mauve lips.. I definitey feel that the brighter shades make me feel better.. and thus look better. This is an orange with slight golden sheen.

I love them both on you! I don't own Mocha because I always felt that Taupe was close enough, but I think I do want it. I actually got Hibiscus not that long ago. I had been looking for it for a long time and my hubby found it online and surprised me with it. He had to pay more than retail, but I'm so glad that I have it. It really is one of my favorites!

Yes...... But maybe MAC will repromote one day :) It's truly gorgeous, the model was wearing it on the promo picture. Everything from Semi-Precious was sold out when I arrived at the MAC store, fortunately Musky Amethyst was waiting for me !

Does anyone think that Haircolour should influence lipstick colours?

Would love to hear!

I love this thread so far HG! I'll be sure to post some lip swatches soon when my dust has settled a bit.

Haircolor definitely comes into play when picking lipstick, but I think more so when it's not one's natural shade. Henna redheads have to be so much more careful when using neutrals (the wrong shade just washes everything out, including the hair), while blondes have to think twice about strong colors unless they're ready for the punk rock look. It's never the end of the world if you balance things out with the right eye and cheek makeup, though! Personal style and attitude goes a very long way too.

I'm lucky because my coloring has always made it easy to use pretty much anything - not so lucky for my wallet, though.

thank you Liba!.. I hope you join us.. I would ultimately like anyone to be able to visualize the differrences in colours and textures and how they change on our lips. it's so individual. My hair is again in a state of flux.. the dark has been washing out and it's now a mousey brown.. lol. Everything goes down the drain. I have really thought of red hair.. but that would be a nightmare for maintenance as well as the greys. I would end up looking like some lost bohemian with flaming hair.

you have great colouring.. I have non defined coluring, which can make me pasty faced or vibrant depending on the amount of work I need to put in or on my face. Recently, it's becoming less and less.. and my main thing is a big bright lip

I know a couple of people in the Guerlain thread were asking about how Rose Grénat compared to a couple of other limited edition Rouge G shades:

Madame Batifole (applied on very chapped, dry lips)




Provocative




Rose Grénat
