NOT for light olive skinned women, unless...

It COULD be just me..I was excited to try this much talked about lip liner from Charlotte Tilbury so was VERY eager to try it as soon as I received my package in the mail. True the creaminess and ease of application to my more mature lips was everything that I had read about. That being said...Iconic Nude is SO nude on my olive skintoned face that it is like not having any lip liner on at all, so what's the point??? It matches my lips perfectly so I'm thinking WHY would I use this? Then It dawned on me . The purpose of me using ANY lipliner is to not only define my lips, but to keep my lipstick from feathering and to sharpen my lip line, which as those of us who are over 55 know, seems to slowly become uneven because of maturing skin around our lips. After applying this lip liner and wearing it for a couple of days, I have to say I am really liking this when I want to look as if I have NO makeup on at all. It's ME...but better as my lips are more youthfully shaped. After all...that IS one of the purposes of makeup is it not?? I believe the Charlotte Tilbury makeup line is more for you fair to medium women as far as colors are concerned and I can only hope that Charlotte will develop the same high quality makeup products for darker skinned women.
