‘Safe’ shade of Dior lip gloss for 50th gift?

35 replies

Evening all,
Coukd anyone recommend a shade of lipgloss they think would be a safe shade for a gift for a friend? It’s her 50th. She doesn’t wear much make up but does on occasion so maybe just something to add a bit of shine or shimmer? Maybe a bit of a pink hue but nothing with too much pigment.
Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you!

I’m sure in real life it shows up a bit more than that,. Anyway lots of my colleagues say it’s a nice shade what colour is it?

Bury your mind, I’ve just fallen asleep on the sofa,(before pic) and in the second picture I look a bit like sex chat, sorry LOL it’s great and it’s tingly so your lips feel like that me

Ahh thanks so much for that! I expected it to be really intense with the name…! 😂 Really helpful-thank you! ⭐️

I have rosewood and it's very subtle. My boyfriend actually complimented me on it the other day and he's normally very opinion free when it comes to makeup

@Tomorrowisyesterday very subtle, just sort of like a darker shade of your own lips

Tbh, I'm not sure it is a good gift. Lots of people are extremely picky about their make-up (including me). I would outwardly be very thankful, but privately quite disappointed. There isn't a safe shade as we all have different preferences and colouring. Different brands also sit differently on people so a Dior gloss may not be right either. You sound thoughtful which is lovely, but I would steer towards something else.

I agree. Make-up is a risky option unless it's a specific request for a certain product. Voucher perhaps.

I don't often wear makeup but would love the Dior lip glow, I'd probably go for rosewood .

Even if she doesn't use it much the packaging is beautiful.

I like the darker colours and the packaging. A lot more wow than my suggestions, but it is only lip balm.

An eye shadow palette might be an option.
