Fuscia pink lipstick

[jsimpson]

I thought that Rocking Chick would look good on me so I went to Nordstrom at lunch. Of course they didn't have it but the girl said that Lustering was comparable. I tried that and of course she said it looked good but I thought it looked like ass. I was really wanting to wear this color so I'm a little disappointed. I think I am going to have to try something a little lighter..any suggestions??

I personally adore Lustering and really *looks around and whispers very quietly* don't much like "rocking chick".... but they are COMPLETELY different lipsticks you're talking about, "Lustering" is a peachy-toned lustre "hot pink" and rocking chick is (to me) quite a reddish undertoned frosty "hot pink".... it all depends on your skintone, really.

The ultimate "fuschia" lipstick that Mac have in their regular line is the amplified creme "Girl About Town", a hot pink with strong blue undertones. It's really gorgeous and worth having a look at, and is probably the thing in the permanent line that's most similar to Rocking Chick (but IMHO twice as nice).

However, I am concerned that if you find "Lustering" - a sheer lipstick - too dark, then Girl about Town might not be the best idea for your first fuschia lipstick. How about trying lipglass in "Pink Poodle"? Its a really bright pink, but it just gives a touch of colour. Or there's lacquer in "Veneer", which I personally think is beautiful, it's a more purplish "hot pink" with shimmer to it.

I agree with Showgirl about Pink Poodle l/g. It's a very nice fuchsia. I let my sister borrow it on Halloween, and she almost didn't want to give it back! I said "HAY, BUY YOUR OWN, MOOCHER."

I saw a lipstick that is very similar to Rocking Chick in Sephora. It was from NARS and it was either Schiap or Funny Face. You can try those.
