Is Flamingo or 3N anything like Innocence?

 

[MACina]

I don' t have Innocence yet but from seeing swatches I' d say they are different.Especially 3N:

Here is 3N:

Is Flamingo or 3N anything like Innocence?

 

[CartoonChic]

Thanks. All three look to be peach in the tube. Flamingo looks to have more color than 3N. 3N looks very pale. If it's anything like Innocence, it won't work for me at all. If it's more like Cusp of Dawn, it should look nice. But I compared the Cusp of Dawn swatches and it looks to be more brown.

I don't think so because Innocence is a Frost. Flamingo and 3N are Lustres and have no shimmer/glitter in them.

Its very true to what it looks like in real life in my pics. T's are very light & the lipstick does not look like hers. Its just a nice wearable everyday nude with a bit of warmed up subtle rose pink hue.

Thanks for the feedback ladies. elegant, your pics of 3N make it look much more wearable for my skin tone. It doesn't look pale at all.

Its very wearable. Maybe not all that exciting, but its a perfect every day lipstick color. Great with smokey eye looks. No, its not pale at all.

 

[Naughtyp]

sounds like exactly what I'm looking for most (95%) of my lipsticks are bright pinks, reds, corals and purples.

 

[MACina]

......exactly!

I am so glad that it will be repromoted with this collection because I do only have one from N Collection.

i wonder if the new one is more like the one temptalia swatched from by request?? less rosy than the one that elegant has. i actually like the one from temptalia but wouldnt mind if the more rosy one comes out. after all thats the original 3n.

 

[MACina]

Yor are probably right as nearly all repromotes are more or less different from the original release(s).

It may be slightly different as all repromotes, but I can tell from the pics that it is the lighting.

 

[Naughtyp]

ooooh that's good to her because it looks way too light for me I. her pics but I was thinking its the lighting as well...

 

[MRV]

I think 3N is a skip for me. Does it suit NC?

Another shade came to my mind: is 3N anything like Pure Zen colourwise?

 

[Naughtyp]

I have NC 30 skin n I was also wondering how it compares to pure zen...

No. Pure Zen is a much paler nude.
