Another lippie mistake (NARS) - how do you choose?

I'm so annoyed with myself. I bought a Nars lippie online (20% off) but - hear me out - I'd tried it several times on my hand in stores and walked to the daylight in it. In fact I've spent hours looking at swatches online and trying it in 3 stores. It looks far darker on my lips (it's Adulterous if anyone knows it.) I wanted a medium pink with a hint of peach. I was also considering Blame and Liaison.

Is the only way yo have it applied in store and then walk outside? (I know they spray the lipsticks to clean them but,,,still not happy.)

I had 2 'faithful' lipsticks but Clinique has reformulated them and they aren't the same. I also have a Bobbi Brown Luxe but they are so £££.

I don’t know about NARS, but I have had this when trying other brands. The salesperson chops a bit off the tester and then applies it to your lips with a cotton bud.

Could you sheer it out using some kind of lip balm so it doesn’t appear so dark?
