The lighting makes RR & AFU look virtually the same on my lips but in person they aren't quite as close. They aren't dramatically different either but they aren't dupes for each other.
I saw this yesterday and was a little surprised at how close AFU & RR are even though on your arm/hand they looked very different. Meh, still getting both lol.

How do you feel about RH & SG?

Flat out fabulous is what I wanted from embrace me (which I don't have, I tried EM at the counter).



No photo of FOF, my eyes looked too droopy haha.

I'm around Nc20

Edit: the texture of RH is the same as the other retro mattes, no drier so order it and don't worry!

NARS looks less brown which I like, Diva is a skip for me. That helps.

I couldn't get the pics of AFU & RR to show how they looked in "real life" for the life of me lol. They do look more like the swatches on my hand look. Either that or I'm just trying to convince myself lol. I actually like RH a lot more than I thought I would. It's not very forgiving if your lips are out of shape though...but that's true with any lighter colored matte. SG is ok. I'm not a huge fan of that shade of pink on myself generally. It doesn't look bad or anything...I just have to push myself to actually wear it as is. I'll probably tweak it a little with a lip liner when I wear it some times.

I was thinking about RH so I'll swatch that in store, SG can stay right there at the store lol.

Soooo... This is a pic with diva on top and FOD on the bottom. The only way I could see a dif was in front of bright light... Mostly diva shows up redder.. FOD browner, mattier... No lip liner and no other makeup on tho Bright light:

Sunlight:

On the sunlight one I tried as much as I could to portray the difference in the finish but the pictures don't show as much. They're very very close. Vvvvveeerreyyyyy close. For this type of dark color I would prefer FOD retro matte finish because to me it feels gothier :) IMO. But id dare say FOF is a matte version of diva and unless finish is not a big deal to you then u dont need both... I needed it cause I tend towards the matte version of whatever comes my way (I told myself that and I'm sticking to it!!) Now: I swatched this against NARS 413 blKr and this could be a dupe.

Can any of you lovely ladies swatch or compare Scarlett Ibis with Dangerous? I'm trying to talk myself out of it but if they are different I'm getting it. I can't resist a nice warm based red.

I really want to be excited for riri but so far I'm not.... Maybe once I see it it'll be different! The rose gold is the only thing catching my eye right now :(
