What is your favorite shade/s of lipstick? (light, sticks, buy)

They introduced the black honey in like 1997 or 1998 and it is their top seller. It always pops up in the gift with purchase as well.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

Great replies thanks everyone!

We can't get Sephora down here

I will definitely check out the Clinique though!

I am very fair and have to be careful what I wear. I look much better with a strong colour like a wine or a red. Pinks tend to look "orangey" on me and just too pale.

Christina Hendricks wears some great colours on Mad Men.

Just bought Clinique A Different Grape, for only $6 on ebay.

Maybe in lipstick form, but when I worked at a major department store in 1978, Clinique had a pot of lip gloss named black honey..... gorgeous shade, that also worked for my pale cool toned skin....

I ended up returning it -- something in it reacted with my skin and I got cold sores.... over and over.

Any color can be cool or warm. If the color is cool, then you might notice a bluish tone to it. If the color is warm it will have a yellowish tone to it. If the pinks you are trying on look orange, I would bet they are warm toned with yellow. The pinks you pick need to be on the blue side -- look for names like fuschia or magenta. Or head for purple toned lipsticks.

And you might simply not like pink on you.... I love dark colors on other people, but I hate them on myself. They just look all wrong.

I seem to have had a reaction to few lipstick ingredients along the way, one most recent is one from the, L'Oreal Color Riche collection. Could be something about the ingredient as to why it's discontinued.

I love clinique's Raspberry Glace.
Loreal Paris Raspberry Splash.
Maybelline Color Whisper Rose of attraction.
Maybelline Color Whisper Pin Up Peach
Many of Avon's Glaze wear.


My colors are usually more of a fuchsia or coral range.

I really like Clinique brand for makeup. I like a light pink color. I do feel reds are striking for a formal evening and with certain outfit.

I am also fair, with brown hair. But, it seems like color responds to me opposite than it does to you...I like bronze, red-brown or orange coral. Some reds in the tube go purple on me, pinks and wines go almost violet and if I put on a purple you would run away screaming.

I have a huge collection of lipsticks in many, many colors. I even like to wear a little bit of it when I'm home! Oddly enough, one of my favorites is a "mood lipstick" that reacts to your own skin with a natural rosy tone. They're never predictible to find in stores, so you'd probably have to order one online. I have a good one from Wet & Wild, a cheap line of affordable makeup (some of it quite good for the price).
