Christian Louboutin Beauty -- COMING SOON?

Thanks! I was leaning toward BB as a soft color for winter, but the others keep calling to me.

I happen to love Impera. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the three.

I agree! I think that it really depends on what range of colors you are wearing now.

Thanks! I'll be honest, @Psych1's swatches of Impera have made me hesitant since I was also hoping for mauve, not brick. I seriously wish I could just swatch these #$^& things in person! I bet the stores that accept used returns would have way less loss if testers were more widely available.

Agreed, I have nowhere to swatch them either so I'm also dependent on swatch pics and reading people's thoughts.

Did you swatch Impera? Does it pull brick like the swatch on you?

Did you look at the swatches on the CL website? Those have been the most accurate for me.

I own Impera and it pulls pink on me, not brick. It's funny how skin tones and undertones impact the way a lipstick appears. I have a new Chanel lipstick and what a
chameleon it is. In some lighting it appears pink and others it looks rust.

I did post swatches of 8 of my lippies, including Impera here on the thread. Check the swatch gallery in the upper right hand corner. It doesn't look rust at all on me.

It's hard deciding blindly

Yeah it is,especially on such a pricey item.

Nooo....she not only reinforced my need for Miss Clichy, she made me need Impera, Sevillana and Djalouzi! :shock:

I think I got lucky w/some of the trickier shades like Me Nude, Zoulou, Lou Beach & Impera. It just so happened that they all worked and I love them all. Djalouzi was a
better pick for me than Eton Moi and the reds were just no brainers.

Oh we watched her first video. I'm glad you got to see how Impera looks---it was pretty pink on her.

 

[Medgal07]

Yes---not rust colored at all.

I was really surprised that Impera pulled so rusty on me. Maybe you would have better luck, bc I tend to bring out any orange, brown, rust there may be in a shade lol I'm going to probably pass Impera on to my mom bc she looks good in rusty/brick shades, I personally dislike them on myself. I agree, I think it's so dumb that they have testers at like 4-5 locations, Bc I can't imagine the number of returns that must be getting.
