Just watched 'Chocolat', again, for the nth time, hehe, and I can't get over how gorgeous Juliette Binoche's face is. She mostly wears some sort of light salmon/rosey/light coral color, both on her cheeks and lips. Her skin is fair with what appears slight yellow undertones, and those colors look gorgeous on her.
I couldn't find any good images online; all the colors look too dark or orangey. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I would love some recommendations. I know my skin agrees with pinkish salmon, and would be nice to match my lips to it

I am thinking Maiden for a lippie, but I will add a few more onto a swatch for you. For a blush Poppy or Wish You Were Here.

Thanks, Jen! I used Stardust for the first time yesterday, and oh it's gorgeous! It's will work for what I was looking for. I also have Wish You Were Here, so I'll try that too. Looking forward the swatches

It will depend some on your natural lip color.

For me it would be Maiden because my lips have a little red in them. Aria might even work for you.

I think I'm gonna go for Maiden first, and then Breathless or Aria if that doesn't work for what I need. Thanks!
