THIS ! With that said, I really wanted GAGA since it looks like a really nice pink in the tube but it probably wouldn't look good on me. Cyndi looks like a really nice color overall. Have not seen one bad swatch of it yet, on anyone. So I am leaning towards that personally.

But isn't makeup experimentation after all?

That's kinda like saying 'Idk what to do with this blazer!,' then adding a shirt under it that works.

Or having someone do poorly in math but excel in writing.

It's all about finding what works well and how it works well.

If I had thought to put down Blast O' Blue just because it was a fr-ugly glaze alone, I wouldn't have the amazor looks I like to do today with my blue toned lippies.

Gaga looks really pretty on you. I'm really tempted to get it, when it comes out in the UK. I've got Ophelia on my wish list as well.

Also try Cork l/l and Viva Glam SE l/g w/ Gaga.

Gaga looks GREAT on you!

Gaga all the way !
I found my perfect bright coral/red lipstick at Inglot .

I think both can work. I have Cyndi & I LOVE it. Its so beautiful, NW50 for reference. I can see myself picking up Gaga later on since it is available for a year, it may take a bit more effort but I think the combinations are endless.

I paired a sheer layer of Cyndi with Sweet Revenge gloss(sheer pink grapefruit with gold glitter) from Nars & I really enjoyed the combination.

I also tried a deeper red lip with Cherry Lip liner from MAC, Cyndi and Amourous Dazzleglass creme on top.

....gaga ooh lala... i'm nc50 as well and i chose gaga's shade over cindy's.

we paired it with a wine l/l and you can top with something like partial pink, ample pink or really any sheer or sparkly gloss. it reminds me of plink! which i adore and use with my burgundy l/l. if this nc50 can do it then i am sure some others can too. enjoy!

both shades are really nice. I'm NC50 and both looked great!

jesse126 gaga looks really good on you.

Goat, I totally agree. But it's always better to have something that looks good right out the tube AND can be mixed with other things.

Sigh, looks like I'm gonna have to pick up both, lol.

^Too limiting

 

[FierceMrsButler]

Both are GAWGEOUS, with the right combination of course... I got Cyndu in gratis and hated it, so I thought... but I mixed it up and came up with a nice collabo:

Beet lip liner all over the lip (line and fill them in)
VG Cyndi all over the lip
Then Love Alert dazzleglass on top or Venetian lustre glass...
=very pretty but soft red color...

Then the Dun Dadda of them all, VG Gaga... I have this combo down to a science...

Plum lip liner (or Plum Royale cremestick liner) all over the lips, lined and filled in
VG Gaga all over the lips
Ample Pink Plushglass (or Baby Sparks dazzleglass)
=Soft and supple pink lips... very very pretty...

Promise these combos are a winner for most skin colors.

 

[vintageroses]

I think i'll be getting Cyndi, because gaga is a really loud & bold colour & i don't think i can pull it off!

I think cyndi would look FABULOUS with cremesheen : double dare!

so gonna try that out! & will tell you guys how it goes! yays

 

[Inamorata]

Gaga is lovely! I just got both - without swatching first - and I tried on gaga and I don't wanna take it off to try Cyndi!! Gaga is GORGEOUS!!

 

[captodometer]

Neither. I tried both at the counter and passed.

I agree... Neither were very pleasing on me.

I am in love with the Viva glam cyndi after wearing it quite a few times. Here are some pics of me with it on. For reference I am NC45-50

 

[GlamYOURUs]
