What to pair with Blankety?

[enigmatic]

First thread, sorry if it's in the wrong place.

I bought Blankety awhile back because I loved the swatches that I saw. I do love the lipstick but unfortunately, it doesn't show up the way I want it to. I'm really pale and my lips are extremely pigmented. Blankety is barely two shades lighter than my natural lip color and it comes off as a rosy color, rather than nude. I'm rambling. I was wondering if underage over the top would make it appear more nude? I was also thinking about c-thru but I'm unsure. Opinions? Other suggestions?

Also, I'm thinking about picking up my first paintpot as well. I was thinking about Painterly. Do they last pretty well throughout the day? I'm afraid of creasing.

Hmm, how about a nude liner? Subculture is popular, I don't own it though so I can't vouch for it personally.

I have pigmented lips too and it's a drag getting lippies to show the way I like them to!

Sometimes I blot a nude lippie onto my lips to tone down the pigmentation, I want to get a pot of Lip Erase at some point.

Underage will definitely help. Oyster girl and prr are nice too.

Paint pots don't really crease... Depends on how oily you are and if you sweat a lot. Or work in a humid environment. I have Soft Ochre, which is a yellow based neutral matte, Bare Study which is a neutral shimer, and Otherworldly which is a pale blue. None have ever creased on me, and I sweat a LOT since I am in school to be an RMT and we're fairly active.

Good luck!

I mix blankety with myth for ultimate nudeness. Works perfectly! Also, Blankety + Viva Glam II + Ample pink plushglass is gorgeous

I agree Blankety and Myth or Blankety and C-Thru work fantastic. Oyster Girl also makes a pretty cool combo too.

Try underage, I use it with all my nude-y lipsticks and it makes everything look a million times better

Cover your lips with powder, cream, or liquid foundation. Apply the lipstick and finish with Ample Pink. Beautiful neutral pink! Mixing Blankety with a concealed lip will help neutralize the rose color and just leave you with the nudest pink!

bonus beat l/g is one that I use over blankety. I've got extremely pigmented lips.
