Karen from MBB looks surprisingly good in Altered Beige. It tones down her pigmented lips a lot more than I thought it could ever and as someone around the same skintone with equally pigmented lips, I wonder if I can pick up Altered Beige + Liquid Passion and have a perfect nude lip for the summer that way. HMMM.

I'm NC43 in the studio fix and I tried Sundipped last year and it looked really bad on me.
I like the pairings of the lipstick with lipglasses. I may ended up getting more lip colors than I originally thought.

My list is still up in the air.

For Sure:
Caliente
other Dazzle lipstick
Undressed lipglass
Ripe for Love

Maybes:
Quads
eye pencils
rest of lip colors
thanks for that..I will be skipping Sundipped for sure then...

Actually, I just remembered I have NARS Cruising, which is another sheer light pink color. I may have to do some light Googling for comparison shots. I think Liquid Passion stays on the list, though; I don't want to have to fuss with lip erase or lipliners or foundation/concealer, etc. to get that perfect nude lip, especially during our sweltering summers in the AZ. The less makeup on, the better.

OK, Really struggling to decide between Sun Dipped & Nude on Board. Every time I read a different review - I change my mind. Please, Please, Please can someone try and help me decide. I'm a red head and an NC15 - so pretty fair and I usually burn in the sun. Ha!
I'm quite sure Sun Dipped would look best on you. The red undertones will make it look more natural.

So I got my TR goodies today! I got the BMS quad, both blushes and the lipsticks in FMP and Caliente. It's night already here and I didn't have time earlier today to post swatches. I think I'll do a full face with BMS, RFL blush and one of the lippies tomorrow and I'll try to post pics. I might take pictures with both lippies actually. I tried both dazzle lipsticks in store and I was really impressed. Pictures don't do them justice, they are much prettier in person. I didn't get both because this is my first time with this finish and I want to try it out very well first. If I like Caliente I might go back for Sheer Seduction, because I really liked that colour too surprisingly. I quickly compared FMP to Heroine, Seductive Intent and Play Time in the tubes and Play Time is much lighter. SI seemed pinker and in the tube FMP was closest to Heroine, but I'm quite sure on the lips it will be closer to SI, since it's sheerer and the pink in my lips will make it pinker. I can't say much more about the other products right now except that they are pretty

Sounds like I have a similar complexion to yours, I have reddish hair naturally and am about NC15, I did huge arm swatches at the store last year with HS and I can say Sun Dipped was definitely the right choice for me and looked like when I have had little bits of actual slight tans in the past. Nude on Board looked like weird orange-y self tanner on my arm LOL

I think you should get sun dipped. I'm NC15 and I'm going to get it I think eventually. I swatched it in store and nude on board looked like it could be quite a wearable bronzer.
Thank You so much lovelies! You are both gems! Sun Dipped it is!

Pinkdollface - I'm liking the look of the SS Lipstick too - although I am basing this totally on online swatches. T makes it look a VERY Orange, however in the other reviews I have seen, it looks quite good and not THAT orange...

Ooh, Thank You - that's perfect. Definitely going for the naturally tanned look over an orange self-tanned look! Haha!

You're welcome:)

When I swatched SS on my hand and lips it was not as orange as it is in T's pics. But maybe T just layered it on more?

Here's something worth saving your pennies for:
http://cooljapannow.jp/rcms/_/koyudo_highclassseries.html

Or you might try the fu-pa series, too.
Or the H series.

These brushes are simply out of this world.
I own several and Chikuhodo is the only comparable brand, but with a much higher price-tag.


Good choices- I'm looking forward to your reactions!
ok, do you work for them? LOL I'm being funny but serious, every single one of your post is pushing these brushes on someone.

I think I'll have to trim my list down to three items, but it's gonna be so hard. D; I'm thinking I'll keep Hot Nights, FMP, and Underdressed. (I'll still get BMS later.) I might add a couple more goodies back in, we'll see.
