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

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

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

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.

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

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

The new Mac Modesty is orange and brown on me. I honestly t

Blush and Lip Color Recommendations

Your skin sounds like mine. I believe I’m neutral leaning cool and have been typed as soft summer. My best lip colors are MAC whirl, velvet teddy, cool teddy, and rom&nd mauve beans. MAC Mehr is also flattering, but I don’t like wearing pink lipstick unless I’m wearing a very feminine or cool-leanin
