Will you be wearing it and how?

Had one in a coral colour and it made my teeth look sooooo yellow, so don't think I'll bother again! You may have lovely pearly white teeth though!

Lovely if you're a 17 year old model. Horrible on everyone else. AVOID.

I'm 26 and I just brought the new Chanel rouge coco shine in a lovely coral colour. I think as long as the rest of your makeup is modern looking (ie not heavily powdered, matt lips and lots of eyeliner) then I think it looks great.

I've seen it on a friend. She's 'of a certain age' but it looked good. Slightly shiny, I agree Matt wouldn't look good.

It reminds me of times when lipstick habitually stuck to front teeth. Elderly ladies (poor women, they were probably younger than I am now) in brown florals.

I have a lightish coral and a goldy coral, not bright, slightly glossy. I like them a lot, nice and summery :)
I have seen smokers wear coral lip colour though and it really does highlight yellow teeth so avoid in that case.

It depends on your skin tone. Bluish skin tone do not use this colour. Yellowish undertone could be nice.

Depends on skin tanned or alabaster yes otherwise looks awful
