Damsel, Soft, Seedy, Berry Nice: Which one?
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 2:40 am
I'm reviving this thread because I'm trying to decide on a pink lip gloss. The sheer lip glosses are exactly what I'm seeking, so I've narrowed down my choices to Damsel, Soft, Seedy, and Berry Nice. Are they all the same amount of pigmentation? I only want to get one of these four so I'd appreciate your thoughts.
A little about me: I have mostly yellow undertones with some peach and have been matched to M.A.C. NC20-25 (light to medium) in depth. I have pale pink un-pigmented lips and I'd like to get a MLBB pink that I can apply without a mirror. I dislike anything purple-ish on my lips.
Here are my notes on each lippie under consideration:
Damsel: Site description is "absolutely sheer strawberry pink." Looks the lightest in Jen's swatches (see below). I'm wondering this might be too bright and garish. For reference: BeaT and Karen discuss Damsel
Soft: Site description is "medium pink almost sheer" and "cool toned." This is the front-runner because it seems to be the universally flattering crowd favorite and is recommended as such by Karen. I'm shying away from the phrase "cool toned."
Seedy: Site description is "raspberry mauve" and "little bit more blue/mauve." Too cool/blue for me? Does "raspberry" come across as purple-ish?
Berry Nice: Site description is "sheer raspberry." Looks the darkest in Jen's swatches. Again, does "raspberry" come across as purple-ish?
Thanks in advance for your help!
