Here is Giacomo, on my arm and in the tube he pulled slightly more coral but on my lips he was a warm rose. I was worried he would be too warm on me as I lean cooler but he works fine. The shimmer in the tube doesn't translate to the lips either, just adds a nice depth. Overall a very pretty shade. I ended up picking up Violet Fatale and I must say the formula on my two boys is better than VF. For some reason it seems waxier or something, it doesn't apply as smooth or even. Either way VF is leagues better than Nude Vanille on me so still a plus. I'm hoping to pick up Julian from Nordstrom tomorrow and maybe buy Didier sometime this week.
