After class today, I thought: "The hell with it, I'm going to try them on my lips." And wouldn't you know, I completely misjudged them! I reaaaalllly LOVE Luciano on my lips. The hand swatch didn't impress me too much, but I am glad I decided to lip-swatch. Wes isn't as much of a love, because it's pretty similar to BD, but it has such a pretty extra dimension to it from the shine and micro shimmer (I think I spotted some in the bullet!)


Wes


Luciano

Both photos are taken facing an open window! Yay natural-ish lighting!

Gorgeous! They both look so good on you! I'm really loving Wes - it makes your eyes seem even bluer than they already do.

Both are stunning on you! It's a bummer Wes is so close to BD because it's a great shade. I have to say though - Luciano is calling my name. That was another one I thought I wanted but I don't wear reds that often so I decided to put it off and think about it until the 26th. Loving it!

EDIT: Natural lighting FTW!!

Luciano is just gorgeous on you - so face brightening. Another one to add to my list for Dec 26!

You know, I'm not really in love with the new Nars formula. I'm not sure why. They're really, really great, especially at that price point. I even own 4! However, I rarely find myself reaching for them. I'm not sure what it is about them. I feel like the shades I own are pretty dupeable and have no dimension (if that makes sense?) They seem plain to me. I have Janet, Anna, Audrey, and Anita. I definitely find myself reaching more for my TF and Guerlain lippies.

Good points. That is true about the dimension. Thanks! Still anxious to get them- Henry, Guillermo & didier

I get what you are saying about the dimension.

I will try to swatch Wes and Pavlos tomorrow if I have time during daylight hours. Pavlos is pretty close to NARS Bette. Wes is interesting. I haven't decided if I like it yet.

Is Wes a good dupe for Black Dhalia?
Click to expand...
On me, I would say it's pretty close. However, they are different. BD is flatter, matte, and a bit darker. Wes is glossier, has more dimension, and a little lighter. However, I do think they're verrrryy close. If you don't mind different finishes for your dupes-- I'd say go for it! But they'll look different on everyone. :)

Bubbly Michelle has swatches http://instagram.com/p/wI_uhxJeMX/ Liam http://instagram.com/p/wFrjJBqvpi/ I wish Liam looked like T's swatch. Looks too much like Magnetic Monica does on me.

Oh Dolly, how can Pavlos look so plain and vanilla in T's pics but look so rich and deep in your link?  :eek:hboy:   Now I am going to have to reconsider getting it.  Oh I hope you can.  I can't wait!! :)

I agree...right!? It looks perfect, dark and lovely...but not T's swatch.
