I think it would look great! Don't use any frost pinks...unless you plan on putting some gloss over it. Will look around for what might look great.

Maybe SNOB??

If you wanna go very light pink, Pretty Please can go on very opaque if you want it to. That colour actually looks quite a bit like the one being worn in your example. Pretty Please definitely lighter than my own skin tone (I'm a C3...pretty damn pale), so it'll definitely stick out against your dark skin. You should also try priming or filling your lips with either concealer or pencil first, so it'll be easier to pack on the colour and it won't smudge off as easily.

What I'd do is... either get a lipstick as close as possible a match to your skintone, and move one shade pinker. That way it won't look too pasty.
Or... you could also use a concealer or foundation, then use something sheer and pink over top.
Post pics if you get a combo you like!

I would say concealer/foundation on your lips w/ a LIGHT layer of a pinky gloss. I probably wouldn't recommend a lipstick cause honestly, most of MAC's pale pink lipsticks look chalky on deeper skintones.

NARS Sexual Healing lipstick has become my new baby pink. It's warm toned, with a hint of gold, but it still has that sexy nude look to it. It's on the cover of the Sephora catalog...

It's GORGEOUS. I don't own it, so I can't do an FOTD or swatch of it (I put it on at work) but I plan on getting it this weekend, I'll try and swatch it for you then.

im mixed with a tan skintone and i cant pull off baby pinks

I'm sure you could doll, it would just need to be the right shade.

I definitely don't recommend anything opaque or matte, it's only going to make you look like Tyrone Biggums

I think Syrup l/s would be a good pink.
I think if I would have held on to Bubbles l/s..I would look like tyrone

Honey B. Fly · 05-28-2007, 02:29 PM #62 (**permalink**)

I wanted this look for my sis' wedding and the MA gave me Angel lipstick with Lust lipglass and Naked Rose liner. I didn't like it (I have issues with pinks on me) but I still received tons of complements.

Too funny. Would cultured l/g be too dark?

Fashionista9989 · 06-04-2007, 11:14 PM #68 (**permalink**)

I try to stay away from the light pinks because they don't look right on me. Try Oyster Girl, though....I absolutely love it and it has a slight pinkish tint to it. Not sure how it'll work on your skin, but you could away layer it with a nude lipstick.

juicyaddict · 06-04-2007, 11:45 PM #69 (**permalink**)

how bout blankety, that one is amplified and mzreyes uses that all the time.

BinkysBaby · 06-05-2007, 02:23 AM #70 (**permalink**)

MAC Pixie......that pic is too funny.
I love soft pink lips.
My favs are Pervette l/s, Creme de la Femme l/s, and Petal Pusher l/g

MisaMayah · 07-16-2007, 04:39 PM #71 (**permalink**)

I'd really like to build a collection of pinks...I don't mind soft/baby pinks or bright pinks. I tend to use MAC, NARS and Clinique however any high-end make-up brand would be great!! (No drug-store brands as i'm here in the UK so very different to the US ones!!)

For ref:In my profile pic i'm wearing Prrr lipglass by MAC

Thank you!!

mochabarbie · 07-17-2007, 12:13 PM #72 (**permalink**)

How about

Lipglass: Dreamy
Lustreglass: Morning Glory

Taj · 07-17-2007, 12:21 PM #73 (**permalink**)

I recently experimented a new receipe for my lips (the MU at the counter said "Wow") which I am too happy to share here:

Upnote l/s and shush tendertone on top. Lips like nude and pouty !

BTW, I am Asian as well.

Hilly · 07-17-2007, 12:28 PM #74 (**permalink**)
