I'm considering either Temptation or Mirabelle. I received Mimosa as sample in my last order, but it didn't really show up on me. It was just a bit of shimmer, I need something punchier
I don't really have any corals, but I thought I'd give it a try. My base is usually 12:1:1/8th of ivory:ebony:buttery gold, so I'm not even sure if either would work... I just feel like I need to step away from my usual pinks and try something else. Could I see side by side swatches? Oh, I have pigmented lips and browns don't really work on me. The brownest I could go so far was Centerfold and Sweet Nothing/Rapture (the least pink or red ones I own aside from Modern Poet).
Thanks!

I guess you just would have to decide if it needed a punch closer to pink or coral. IMO I think Mirabelle for you.

Mirabelle indeed
Whoever packed my last shipment (sorry, forgot the name) generously included a sample of it, thank you! I'm just waiting for daytime to actually check what it looks like on my face. I'm always amazed how bad my bathroom lighting is, meh. Thanks for the swatches!
