I noticed that too. At one point I was convinced people were mislabelling lol. Maybe you can try a vampy lip liner like MAC's nightmoth and see if that gives you the deep red you were looking for. I bought Runner and love it too. It is just such a beautiful colour.
It is another 'chameleon' like lipstick, that's for sure. The first time I wore it was with Current but that was not quite a match. I did like it better with Chestnut because it made it deeper but that muted out the red. The now discontinued cremestick liner 80% was the best match but eh, the color just doesn't really do anything for me. Next time I wear it, I will try it with Nightmoth. Might as well give it a whirl. I am just afraid that it will add to it looking murky, though.
Hopefully it works out the way you want it too. I hate when you have a vision for something and it just doesn't performIt is another 'chameleon' like lipstick, that's for sure.

YES!! I've been looking for a real reddish brown for literal IONS. I love Runner on its own and it is close but it needs to have a bit more brown to be what I envision.Hopefully it works out the way you want it too. I hate when you have a vision for something and it just doesn't perform
They are small. I had mentioned before I thought I was prepared for it but nope. lol
Tomas looks more orange on me than it does in some swatches I've seen online. Jack is a beautiful color that somewhat reminds me of Buxom's Swinger. Sort of. This one was harder to capture as it looks a bit pinker in photos. In person it pulls a little more purple on me. Hope this helps! ETA: my face is darker in the Tomas swatch because the sun momentairly hid behind a cloud. Lol first world swatch problems! The picture is still very true to real life though.
Beautiful Lauren! You just sold me on Tomas!Two quick natural light lip swatches of Tomas and Jack! I love them both.
YAY! I'm glad, it's a beautiful shade. And thank you very much.Love Tomas on you! It's also on my list and now it moved up
Thank you! It's a lovely shade. You should definitely try it!
Lauren you just look so awesome! I love the way they both just brighten up your skin...gorgeous!!!
I have the same 'problem' as you have. I'm not really a fan of cool reds on me and tend to go for the warm/orange reds. And I also think that vibrancy is the key with cooler reds (and pinks, and even purples). Also as I'm a redhead I find that really blue purples and pinks are the best for me because they are in contrast with my natural colouring (my lips cancel the blue in them a bit).

Gorgeous! I love love love them both on you! And it's crazy how the skintone changes when you're trying to get a good shot. Sometimes when the lip color looks truest, I look as pale as a ghost. And then when the sun really shines I look like I've been at the beach LOL. As you say, #firstworldswatchproblems
I agree sometimes that contrast between warm and cool really works. Of course then sometimes it doesn't! I can also do cool purples but only cool nude/light pinks. Anything approaching medium pink is just wrong on me - warm or cool. Unless it's pink coral. Coral I can handle
Glad your boys have arrived!
Beautiful swatches sis. Love them all, especially James. No surprises there right------the orange freak that I am. Do you have a favorite among them???Giacomo
