Slimshine recommendations

[CantAffordMAC]

I am a C4/NC42 and I want to get some slimshines.

I was looking at Bare, but then i decided it would probably end up looking too nude on me (i am getting bored with just nudes). I want a sheer wash of color and I know slimshines are probably good for this. Any recommendations for these would be great (just no reds or brights/bold....) make sense??? lol thanks!

Would Pleasing be too bright for your taste? I think it's a gorgeous shade, but it's rather cool.

I'm NC42. I purchased Long stem rose but, I think it's a little too light pink for me.

i was thinking of this one but I thought the same thing. i already have 2N and 3N lipsticks and those are very milky pink on me

i'm an nc 40-42, I tried bare and i didnt like the way it looked it was nude but kinda pinkish, i have too many bare/nude colors already so i tried volie (because i did not want a bright color either) and well i like it looks nothing like the mac site- it reminds me a little bit of spring bean but more yellow (i dont know if you like that) i like it! kinda golden color on my lips, maybe you should try funshine its a pinky color but a little subtle orange shiny too, its a nice subtle color but not too bright.

try funshine! its so perfect for spring. im not big on bold lips either (love em but they look so bad on me) and this works well for color.

ah i forgot funshine! it is a great spring color & not too saturated. missy is a really nice sheer color too.

ohh funshine is really pretty. But right now Im loving missy, its the perfect spring color. Im c4 as well..well im a bit lighter now since its winter. But i would recommend missy. Its sheer but a buildable color! :-D

OH missy is gourgeous ..peachy coral color ..im nc25 so its prolly be a bit brighter on me than you ...but the slimshines go on fairly sheer like lustres doo ..so you can build it up or not...I would give missy a try think it would look really nice on yoru skin tone ... that peachy tone on glowy skin ..great for summer and spring hehe .. =P
