Not a l/s but if you can get your hands on Low light silver lipglass stain it looks Fantastic on really pigmented lips. My cousin uses it and shes got really pigmented lips and she adores it. HTH!

It's all about that IMPISH LIPGLASS for me! I've been trying not to get stuck in an opaque-lips rut because I was the biggest fan of Paris-Hilton-pale-peachy-tan lips for a long time! I've toned it down with Headliner lipglass. Wow, what a surprise, another fave that's LE...Sigh.

can you think of any e/s that looks like the combo you´re wearing.. would be easier (and cheaper) than getting paint+pigment, no? or does this combo have better staying power?
I never quite understood the use of paints...although I´ve never tried ´em

Paints are awesome...They do give massive staying power, some people find they crease, but they dont for me, and they add a lot of color and vibrancy to anything you put on top of em

That's a hard one for me to answer. I'll think about it though. Do any of you ladies/gents have any suggestions on alternative color combos?
Austrian Babe, I love paints because they are easy to apply and can be worn as a sheer wash of color or applied heavier for a bolder look. They also make shadows of like colors stand out more. Also, since I get up @ 5 am to attend clinicals, they make a great quick application of color super easy (since I'm too tired that early in the morning to do much else).
A cheaper way to test out piggies is to purchase samples from sellers. I know that there is usually several people selling samples of piggies in the clearance bin. As far as paints, if your interested in trying them out I would reccomend purchasing one or two colors that you normally wear a lot of and experiement. If you don't like them you can either sell them in the clearence bin or swap for something else.

I like the combo of mauvism and plum e/s or parfait amour e/s violet is a bit more antense, and make the combo a bit hotter, but these e/s are the second best!

Jessica, I remember when you first posted this. You made me wanna get Brew and Instant Gold
-----
The colours I use to make my lips look nude/lighter are:
Brew l/s, Politely Pink l/s, Rio Babe l/s
I asked a MAC artist what l/s and l/g would look close to TLC in Angelkiss and she said to try out Hug Me l/s and Revealing l/g.
As for lipglasses, the lighter ones I use are Instant Gold, Fine China, and Florabundance. Those are thre three "most nude/lightest" I own. Hope that helps!

Janice and I went to a freestanding store in San Antonio Saturday, and the MA reccommended Oak Lipliner.
Sassy Girl, Yeah, I totally flipped when I put it on and I had pouty, nude lips kinda (long-shot) similar to Ms. Jolie's. I ran back to the counter and bought a back-up.

Bobbi brown Beige lipstick is great. NARS Chelsea Girls is ok too, but the coverage isnt consistant

I agree with cinnamongurlie (sorry if I've stuffed up the spelling!) - Latte Lick tasti is a must-have for covering up pigmented lips to make them look nude in a 60s-mod way. No corpse-like look, just very played down. I have also experimented toning down super-bright lipsticks by putting this tasti on top.
But yes, do try not to lick it off! It's pretty yum, one of the better tasting ones, actually.

I'm partial to High Tea and Brew myself as well.
If you prefer lipgloss- high tea and beaux lustreglass are almost identical. VGV is also similar, although darker and slightly browner I find. brew and C-Thru are almost identical, on me at least.

I have found that High Tea, Flutterby, and Brew work the best for me.
