I am looking for a bit of a holy grail lipstick. Something to wear every day. I don’t suit Matt lipsticks but I dont want a gloss. I want more colour than a tinted balm but I don’t suit a strong pop of colour (regardless of what that colour is).
so I think what I want is a hydrating lipstick which is sheer but buildable. I have a couple of wonderskin tints which dry my lips out a bit too much. I spent half an hour in space nk yesterday working through Lisa Eldridge (I had such high hopes!) but all the colours I tried came out way too dark or too cool.
colour wise I have warm undertones and high contrast (grey hair). My natural lips are fairly pigmented which I think was the issue with Lisa Eldridge. Black Honey also goes too dark.
I am after a kind of pinky rose I think, not too brown though. I have an ok colour from Bobbi brown but it’s a bit too Matt and a bit too natural. For all I don’t suit that bright pop of colour, I do want something bold.
budget wise I’m fairly flexible. This will be worn most days so happy to spend if required.
