It doesn't even look purple in your swatch what in the world so tired of all of these photoshopped swatches on Instagram what good is it making a color look completely different you're just gonna disappoint people who buy the color and see it's totally different

Yeah, you may as well not say what color you're wearing if you're going to photoshop or add a filter. It's a misrepresentation. Or if someone is like 'omg what lipstick is that?!' post the actual picture un-edited and tell them. But don't advertise a specific brand and color if you've altered the color.

Lime Crime's recent lip swatches and descriptions are way off. I was so disappointing when I got Faded and saw it was a very rosy mauve and not the purple beige that was promised.

I wish more brands would share actual swatches, ideally on various skintones. These computer generated 'lip swatches' are useless.

I agree, Faded is definitely a rosy mauve. It's a beautiful colour, but I too was expecting more of a purpley beige tone.

Oh that's disappointing. I might have to go back to wanting Raine Fever from Coloured Raine.

Its not and its browner. Its weird. Heres a swatch. An ugly one sorry!

:huh: I am speechless. It totally looks brown. I can understand your disappointment. Bummer.

Quote: I actually LOVE the pale eyelash look! I think you could totally pull it off if you do a really, really fresh look with minimal makeup. Maybe just a touche of concealer if needed to even out the complexion, some subtle strobing for a glow and really clean eyebrows with the dark statement lip. If you give it a try, post a photo! I agree, Faded is definitely a rosy mauve. It's a beautiful colour, but I too was expecting more of a purpley beige tone.

You are looking good nonetheless.

I was surprised at the color of Faded too, I was thinking it would be like a lighter Kat Von D Ayesha but it's definitely a muted mauve on me rather than a dusty purple. It's pretty but I haven't actually worn it yet, only tried it on. I get the same about Bleached too, I actually love that shade and wear it to work a lot but it's much more nude-y neutral than the pink base I was expecting. I love it for what it is but it's not the color I was expecting

I'm still happy. I'm super-pale so maybe it can actually work for me. A lot of the time dark lipsticks look good on pale girls, but I also have light eyes, light hair, and blonde eyebrows, so it REALLY stands out. If you're a brunette or have brown eyes or at LEAST have dark eyebrows you have an easier time pulling off dark lipstick. But if I darken my eyebrows and what-not I risk over-doing the whole look... So I'm not bummed it's a little light, although I wish they're swatches were better matches for the color you're getting... Speaking of, if anyone has good hints for how to pull off dark lips when you have too many contrasting features, lmk. I've seen some pics where really light girls did a dark lip with a SUPER natural look, like blonde EYELASHES even, but I feel like that wouldn't translate from a magazine to the street...

I'm super pale and platinum (I fill in my brows brown though, I don't like my light brows w the rest of my look lol) and I LOVE dark lips, I'll wear anything. But I know what you mean sometimes I do feel like the contrast is like WHAM w certain colors lol my mom says those are my Dracula makeup days

Well, maybe I can pull if off It's just when I try it, weird guys tell me I look like a "porcelain doll", like it wasn't noticeable how pale I was until the dark lip was added... Just need to avoid weird guys perhaps, they're killing my dracula-makeup buzz!

Thing is, it doesn't look brown on Ellarie at all in the pic I posted. Wonder if they had a batch inconsistency. Wouldn't put it past them to stay mum about it and pass them off as the advertised colour!

@SassyWonder Are you going to send it back? I hope they give free returns!

Thank you! It really is a nice colour.

My Jinx came today. It's super dark purple on me, I haven't tried it on yet but the swatch reminds me of ABH Potion. I think this will be really pretty for winter!

I gave it away to a friend. I'm disappointed and she liked it so why not. I didn't want ro deal with the process of a return to them. There customer service sucks.
