Soft pink lip recommendations for lip combo to go with Mac lipliner in stone or greige?

So the thing about Stone is that when you're a muted fair olive, it's not going to resemble anything like it does on her or most of what you're going to find on Google. See how green it looks against her skin? If you're olive, it won't look green on you. That's our starting point. When you put cool

Lipsticks that look like the marketing images for Pillow Talk?

Rituel de Fille's Hex marketing images look super cool/lilac but videos reveal it is also warmer than the marketing and might be a good match for the Pillow Talk image. But they use beeswax. Possibly KIKO Gossamer 140 'Light Mauve' but it isn't totally clear if the product is vegan. MAC Modesty appe

What is the last product that you purchased feeling certain that you would love only to be let down by?

Mac lipstick in Modesty. Swatched on my hand like my lip color, was greyish light purple/mauve on my lips. Looked like a corpse

Can someone explain the color theory why Mac Modesty looks like this on this person but ashy/gray on me?

The old Mac Modesty was actually more pink than the new one! I think this is the old one. And there (at least used to be) a sheer and a more pigmented one, the new pigmented one is definitely quite light. I wear ND Y1 and LE 1.5, the new satin Max Modesty looks light and a bit ashy on me too. I have

MAC lipstick swatches :)

Personally, it looks atrocious on me because it's very peach/warm. Modesty is the best nude but even then it still pulls funky colors for me. The last one I wanted to try was "Thanks, it's Mac" 😖

Mauve lipsticks on my NC15ish cool-leaning olive skin

I should also add that I am a MAC lipstick encyclopedia. Any permanent MAC lipstick going as far back as 1990 - I have tried it and/or own it. All of the original cremesheens were too warm for me (including modesty and creme in your coffee) other than hot gossip, which was still way too bright. For

My Lipstick Collection (Mostly Spring)

MAC Modesty is the 1 lipstick that I would say is genuinely unflattering in that you can immediately see it drain color from my face so I probably wouldn’t recommend to any Springs unless you’re going for that look. I just enjoy it with some outfits for some reason.

Help finding my everyday “your lips but better” lip liner

When I swatched MAC modesty on my arm it was orange :( But the others seem very promising! Thanks!

Can someone explain the color theory why Mac Modesty looks like this on this person but ashy/gray on me?

Okay this bothered me so much I uploaded comparisons to Rituel de Fille Hex (a lipstick that is supposed to be lavender, but ends up pink due to my yellow tones): https://imgur.com/a/xvT2UAg u/OkSignificance4856 justice for us cool girlies! The new Mac Modesty is orange and brown on me. I honestly t
