Let's say I'm a warm autumn...

which I have no idea if it's true but sounds about right, so what pinkish, mauve-ish long lasting lipstick would suit me you reckon?

If you are a warm autumn then I doubt a pinkish/mauvish lipstick would suit but someone better informed than me will come along soon. I am a bright leaf autumn and that type of colour makes me look like a corpse!

Oh I guess I'm not a warm autumn then because I think pink suits me. My hair colour is of a mousy nondescript colour with a lots of warmth to it, but quite heavily highlighted honey/caramel blonde. My skin is of cool tones, thinking about it. So I guess I'm not a warm autumn at all and I just like the sound of it...

Bless :)

It really is impossible to guess. Warm/cool/soft/clear/bright/sultry/muted - it really is a science. Cool skin tones should lead you to one of two 'seasons' but it's so much more than that.

Bummer, soft and muted sound about right too, but definitely not bright

Oh blimey, you're a sumautwinsprin ;) xx

I'm still buying a pink lipstick

I'm a warm/true autumn - (personally I think the whole thing's bollocks!)

Earthy tones generally suit autumns...

Good for you! :)

On buying your pink lippie Idug

Can you recommend a wet mud lipstick twinklestein? Lol

If I recall,borgois and maybelline do some nice punky mauves.

As for seasons,I'm weird.I'm not wholly convinced by it either,but hey ho!

From a possible soft autumn who can also look like a winter...

Okay I think I'm a soft summer
Yes, that's right
Soft summer

Revlon lip butter in Pink Truffle will suit you if you are a soft summer. It isn't long lasting though but very pretty.

I'll check it out today when I go into town, thanks Steeped; any other suggestions?

Test the lipstick on the inside tip of your finger, if it looks 'right' it'll suit you, it'll be clear if it's the wrong colour. Friend gave me that tip and it works a treat and has saved me a fortune!

I just accidentally bought a pinky mauve lipstick,it's a gorgeous colour!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in Not An Illusion.

I'm possibly a soft autumn.It looked more corally toned on my hand but on my lips it's a punky mauve,verging on plummy on ME.It sure made my very pale skin stand out and brought out the peachiness of my blush.It didn't make me look dead but looking in the mirror instant attention is drawn to the centre of my face with it-nose,mouth and a teency bit of cheeks.

So,while the 'wrong colour' may draw attention in a set way I don't agree that a wrong colour will always make you look dead or dreadful.

Anyway,if you still want pinky mauve I recommend it.You could have mine if you want!

TripTrap that sounds PERFECT, Thanks!! Off I go to Boots and I'll report back!!

I have a gorgeous one from Avon called "honey rose"

Not terribly long lasting tho

Earthy pinks rather than mud...

Damn,thought I could save a fortune wearing the garden!
