Soooo, I'm starting to wear lipstick and was wondering what colors would work best for me. So far I've got reds, shades of fushia/purple, annnnddd that's about it. Light pinks and nudes DO NOT look good on me at all. I got some shades from MAC that I really liked and well...those are going back (Myth, Pink Nouveau, and Snob. Candy Yum-Yum can stay). So if you guys have some brand and shade recommendations it would be super appreciated!

Coral shades would look great with your skin tone. Try 'Caring Coral' by Color Riche Balm. I have it and its amazing, it has SPF 15 I think, and it's moisturizing. Also lasts a long time.

Thanks ladies! I'm going to try that shade of coral as its super pretty. And I'll give the lip liners a try when I go to the MAC store and see if they help any.

Thanks! My boyfriend needed to go to CVS so I ended up picking up three different shades of coral and one other shade. But I'm definitely going to have to give that chili color a try!

See, those are some really pale colors (or at least the ones they had left at my store) and when ever I put something that pale on my lips it looks like I just put flour on and called it a day. I can give them a try though.
