cranberry or starviolet? can you help?

[texasgirl72]

I have cranberry and I am intersted in Starviolet but they seem so similar looking in color? Do I need both? When I swatched them on my hand with beiging as a base they were almost identical.

What is your take on these two colors?

I am interested in knowing as well. I have Star Violet and am thinking about getting Cranberry!
Are they too similar?

They are similar, but cranberry has more red in it than star violet. SV is more icy. They go fab together, so I would get both if youare interested. They are going to give very different effects when you have them on. You could really use SV as a highlighter for Cranberry. Hope this helps!!

I have both and I really love Star Violet. I think it has more of a sheen to it than Cranberry. Star Violet looks more pink whereas Cranberry is more red.

I took pictures but it is very cloudy today so they didn't come out as true to life. I am a NW15-20. Top is Cranberry, Middle Star Violet, Bottom Trax. Top photo is without flash and the bottom is with flash.

I don't think they're similar at all, really. I'm NW20, and Cranberry is more burgundy-red whereas Star Violet is pinky-metallic. Both are gorgeous though and they do look great together
