the selection of lip products that companies are putting out nowadays
That’s how I feel about buying dark berry lipsticks. They’re usually some form of pink when I’m wanting more of a burgundy. The exception would be Clinique’s Black Honey, but it’s meant to be subtle.

Bridal makeup trial – honest feedback?
I don't really think this look is doing a lot for you. I would soften the brows - either less dark or less thick - and brush them up and out. The lashes are barely visible but feel heavy on your face... so not worth it! A good tubing mascara will do more for you. Agree the eyeliner is very thick and

Can I actually pull off a red lip or does it wear me?
Yeah, that’s what I had to do. I was new to wearing any lip color and even the Clinique almost lipstick in black honey was jarring. I look back and I have a chuckle but I’m happy wearing lipstick now. Well, more lipstain with gloss/balm over ᵕ̈

14 piece Lip GWP missing Lancome Lip Idole
I didn’t get the Lancôme Lip Idole either. They subbed it with another Clinique black honey. Black honey always turns bright purple on me so I’ll donate them to the women’s shelter. At least they made some effort to sub instead of just leaving it out like usual.

I'd like to buy my mother in law a high end tinted lip balm, any recommendations? She uses those tinted Nivea lip balms.
If your MIL likes the Cherry Nivea Lip Balm, I definitely second Clinique's Almost Lipstick! I used to use the former in Blackberry because it was a dupe of Clinique's Black Honey, I think that for the Cherry one that seems a bit more pink, Pink Honey would be better. And I think she'd like it a lot

What do you do if you don’t like the recommend makeup for your season?
Maybe try sheerer shades? Ex: a sheer lipstick like clinique's black honey instead of a traditional red lipstick

What do you do if you don’t like the recommend makeup for your season?
HOC in general is a system that looks to make you pop, so the makeup recommendations are usually pretty intense for your season. Dark Winter does have some options that are less intense, however. Just off the top of my head, try out Clinique Black Honey. People try to claim that it's a universal col
