WOC-Our Pick l/s (Trend F/W) Ideas?

[Goat Goat Etc.]

I just got So This Season l/g, Faultlessly F/W l/s, and Our Pick l/s just this afternoon!

*VERY ENTHUSED* Woot, woot for Give Back to Mac!

But, but, but--Our Pick l/s is sort of a problem child.
I'm an NC50 and I'm trying to think of colors that would be complimentary w/it.

I was wondering if anyone had played with it longer and had ideas already?

So far I've tried So This Season l/g and lil' of Fierce and Fabulous l/g (Style Warrior) and it was a pretty mauve.

Then I just tried Astral l/s (Neo Sci Fi) which is an A+ for a wearable disappearing act!

Additional input anyone?

Our Pick made me look like Night of the Living Dead and I am NC45....so I have no good advice on how to wear it

I tried this on the other day and was able to make it work. I didnt have a chance to experiment with different glosses on top. I used only Runway Fave l/g.

I was able to warm it up and over come the "dead" look by using Cork liner on top of the lipstick. I was able to blend it in to darken it to my liking around the edges without creating a harsh line. Hope that makes sense.

I'm sure I'll love it more once I get it home and can try it with some other lipglosses that can "brighten" or "warm" it up more

I'm NC44

When I swatched this it pulled plum/purple so maybe something in that color family will work.

I went back to MAC again today and this was one I tried on again. This time I used She's a Star lipglass LE on top and it was very nice. (similar to Instant Gold)

I also tried it with Underage and Love Nectar. Underage made it whitish and yucky. But Love Nectar was very nice. Quite yummy actually.

I'm actually really really liking the lipstick now. It just needs a hot lipgloss on top to make it come to life!

I can't wait for the day MAC pushes out a lip erase just for WOC. That's why I got this l/s-for an editorial kind of look.

I agree with Tish I tried our pick and looked DEAD AS HELL!!! LOL... but I did get the TONE GREY quad it's pretty...

I'm wearing it with Naked Space l/g now. It seems as long as I use a light hand it's alright. And adding a warm blush and highlight to the cheeks is pretty awesome. Raizin + Spaced Out=Killer! Spaced Out=the murder weapon!

Ok I have another suggestion for Our Pick lipstick

I've worn it a few times with Cork liner (of course) and Young Thing lipglass. Makes a nice nude.

Overall though since Our Pick is kind of a taupey color so I think its not a throw on and go color. Each time I've worn it I had to make sure I had a nice blush or bronzer on to brighten my face
