Thank you so much for this video! Finding certain shades of lipstick and eyeshadow is SO tough for us fair skinned folks since all of the make up trends in the last 5-8 years have been the super warm toned/cranberry/rusty looks which all look straight up red on me 😬
For sure! Because I'm super into makeup I literally go to Ulta and Sephora every week (plus there are both 10 min. from my house) to swatch every new lipstick I can find..and it is SO rare I find a cool toned lipstick from mainstream brands. ANNOYING. Even darker skinned people have cool tones sometimes!
Now that’s a tough one! 😉 I’m torn between bubblegum cool pink (of which there are many now but they tend to look unnatural) and finding others that lean cooler or neutral but actually look good…but not technically cool in color, maybe it can be a challenge.
Such a helpful video, for us pale/cool toned people it’s so hard because of contrast you really can’t "make things work" and everything these days is warm toned, glad I found you thorugh this video!
Well, those are the ones that I've found that are good for me but there are sooo many nasty orange ones that definitely do not! 😅 Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰
@@redgirlreviews super helpful! I’m going to keep this as a reference. Absolutely loving those grayed pinks you suggested. Several of the brands you mentioned, I absolutely love too, and now I know the best colors! I also wanted to add that Smitha Deepak says she always uses brow pencils as her lip liner. That might be an option if you’re looking for more lip liners. Makes sense to me, as brow pencils often have nice soft grayish taupey shades. :-)
Thank you so much for this video-I feel so seen and less alone! Also, the effort and detail you put into these videos do not go unnoticed! I would love to hear your review on the new Fenty Gloss Bomb Stix in Blaz'd Donut 😊
Absolutely and thank you! I literally started this channel because I felt like noone was addressing our skin tones in makeup in a serious way. So frustrating! So I didn't end up buying the Fenty Gloss Bomb stix even though I was excited to try them because of two issues. I swatched all of them and there is not one truly cool toned one or even really cool leaning...bummer. And second, the real killer is the formula. It is like a melted chunky version of the Tarte Maracuja lip formula...dang. It is a MESS to deal with and is absolutely all over the place. If you don't have a ton of lip real estate it's just going to end up outside of your lip line immediately as you try to put it on. I usually love Fenty lip products but this one is not it sadly.
oooh that sounds like a fun assignment! 😀 I wish they had more testers for drugstore makeup but at least if I get some of them through Ulta I can return them if they are disappointingly warm as per usual. 🤣
There were a couple mentioned in this video. I think the main issue is that there are very few TRULY cool toned lip colours. I’ve been driving myself nuts the past cpl of days trying to find the perfect nude-ish slightly mauve cool toned lip colour (preferably in a matte as I would like it to not transfer while drinking from a straw and/or cup and what not). It’s either too pink, too orange, too rosey, too brown, too dark or too light 😅 The struggle is realll lol. I checked out my local Walmart and one of the Shoppers Drug Mart Boutiques (I’m Canadian and that’s one of our very popular drugstores; the boutique version of Shoppers is larger and carries a lot more beauty products). I haven’t gone to Sephora yet as I’ve been trying to find something on the inexpensive side, especially for lipstick. I don’t mind spending the $$ on my Haus Labs foundation 😂 but when it comes to something such as lipstick I’d prefer not to spend more than $20 on 1. I’m about to check out Jessica’s updated video for her new cool toned favourites so I’m hopeful there will be some more drugstore ones in there lol. If not I do like the L’Oréal Matte Crayon stick she tried on in this video, and the mixing options. During my searching so far I have found that mixing a cpl lipsticks have *almost* given me that one true shade I’m after lol. One lipstick was too light and the other too dark and a tiny smidge too pink lol so when I mixed them it was nearly perfect but the lighter shade was warm and that pulled through. So idk, if you haven’t found anything yet you may need to get a little experimental and mix some shades together 😂 The downfall of that is double the cost though 😕
Thanks for the heads up about Moira.....wow!!! The mauve lip pencil is perfect and has such longevity. Also picked up two of the lip oils, dusty peach and the mauvy one. Perfect alone or together and the best part is how they grip, don't slide and LAST. Even through an oily meal, I can still feel some moisture. Sold!!! And I can buy them here in Mexico for like nuthin'.....but I would pay much more for all of them. Woohoo!!
I should add that the Moira lip pencil I bought was the long wear type that is retractable. They have others that I haven't tried. The color QUEEN is a medium tone mauve that works on me.
thank you! 🥰 I just love the color of that Haus Labs one, like the most perfect cool raisin color. I have another video coming up this week with a bunch of new gorgeous lipsticks I'm loving for my skin tone to share...so many good ones lately!
I love the current Makeup by Mario lipsticks in South Shore, Midtown and Bronx Baby. All great cool shades for us. I just bought the Sink or Suede lipliner, it's perfect.
Isn't that a great lipliner? It's just kinda perfect! So I'm surprised you liked those Mario ones! I went and swatched them when they came out and thought they looked cool online but they pulled really warm on me at least in the store. I might have to go reassess.
All right, so I am still absolutely obsessed with this video! Thank you for making me aware of brands I didn’t know were decent, like flower beauty. They have a shade called buttercup in that lipstick you mentioned, which looks perfect for cool skin tones, too! I have been a Chapstick addict since childhood. I can’t stand not having something on my lips 24/7. Since I discovered makeup about a year and a half ago, it’s been so fun finding colored products to use instead of just plain old lip balm. I was just randomly trying colors and wasting a lot of money (I think I’ve already given away half of my collection, which were oranges, peaches, and warm browns), and now it is so nice to have this list and know that with it, I can’t go wrong with anything I choose! Thanks again, Jessica! I’m not a blush addict like I am a lipstick addict, but I am looking forward to your blush list as well. If you ever decide to do a video on eyeshadows for cool toned peeps, that would be most welcome, too! Oh, and one more thing, I appreciate that you did a range of brands from more affordable to more high-end. It’s great to have all the options. If I’m going to buy something expensive I want to know I’m getting the color right right off the bat! I don’t know many people who understand and appreciate gray lipsticks!❤🎉😂 love you!
Thank you so much! I am SO happy when I'm helpful! I would warn you off buttercup by the way, have it and it is straight up orange. The only other cool one in the line is Jasmine and it is a darker jammy purple leaning raspberry color. Blossom is sort of a more neutral slightly orangey brown if you are looking for more of a nude. The blush video just went up if you're curious too! 🥰
@@redgirlreviews oh, boy! No, I definitely do not need anything orange leaning! See, you just can’t tell by website pictures. Again, so glad we have people like you to help.
thank you so much for filming this, this is such an amazing resource. i'm 45 now and when i was younger i could get away with way more in terms of colour temperature but now that i'm older, it's cool tones only. in fact, most neutrals that i try look straight up warm on me - there are a few exceptions but they're so rare that unless something specific catches my eye about a neutral, and/or it's similar to other neutrals that look good on me, i don't even bother looking for neutral makeup (except foundation/concealer because i'm a fair cool olive and neutral is really the closest i can get to that). i've seen some videos tailored toward cool-toned "trend" and it has me shaking my head. i really do feel as though for some reason the beauty industry forgot that there are genuinely cool-toned folks out there who can't really wear warms or even neutrals. so many makeup lines only have warm-leaning stuff and it boggles my mind. so thank you, thank you so much for releasing this video. i'm on such a tight budget and i just want to find things that work for me and i can't afford to buy whatever i think "might" work and of course covid has changed the way people shop (being able to try things on or sample in-store, etc).
Yes! It is a constant frustration for me what big makeup brands will label as 'cool'...NO on the vast majority of them and when they do finally make a cool based color it is something unflattering like cool bubblegum or neon blue based pinks...uhhh who is that supposed to look good on? I would love to start my own line that is all muddy muted true gorgeous cool and natural colors for fair and cool toned people just so I'd have something I could buy myself!
@@redgirlreviews yes! i have been thinking the same thing, haha. ever since i've decided to get back into wearing makeup (i took a break throughout most of my 30s and early 40s and just getting back into it now), my endless frustration with not finding colours I could wear - first taking a long time to find out that I am genuinely, truly cool-toned and then secondly, realizing that beauty brands really do not seem to know how to make true cool-toned colours that, like you said, aren't ridiculously hued - has had me ready to give up so many times. i have this ongoing dream of starting my own line that is muted, cool-toned colours for fair and cool-toned folks. i've seen lots of people (even people who aren't cool-toned but are definitely fair) lament the overabundance of saturation in makeup colours. right now i'm on the lookout for the perfect, very pale, cool-toned nude lipstick, specifically for an ombrêd look i have the perfect brown lip liner for (Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Cappuccino). for me it'll have to have a greyish-purple undertone to look its best. i also only support cruelty free brands and i struggle with fragrance so it's even more of a process! the closest i've come so far is Makeup by Mario Super Satin lipstick in either Midtown (which is described as 'neutral'; in this case i would consider a true neutral because i plan to wear it with a darker, cool brown lip liner which will cool/muddy the colour even further) or South Shore, although South Shore looks darker than my intended purpose on most of the people i've seen swatch it. however i worry about the fragrance because i know it has one - only one person i've watched has described it, saying it is a "very faint" vanilla scent. i'm still trying to decide if i want to take the risk - in Canada where i live, it retails for $38 which is a big investment for me.
@@bristremel1554 I hear ya and am also always searching for that perfect pale muddy nudy cool color as well. Have you seen some of my cool lipstick videos? Some of those might work but most of the ones that are like that that I've found tend to be lip glosses instead..argh. Finding Ferdinand has a color picker that allows you to make your own lipstick that I might give a go though... BTW have you seen the MMario lippies in store yet and swatched them? I was very excited when they came out and went and checked them out and was so bummed to find they ALL pulled SO warm on me. I was specifically looking at South Shore as well. I don't remember a smell but I didn't put them on my lips so can't say for sure...
@@redgirlreviews i watched this one and i'm about halfway through your video on cool browns - i have it open in another tab as we speak. i will do a search on your videos and see what else i can find. i haven't been able to go in-store. for me shopping in-person hasn't been feasible for such a long time. i'm basically limited to online searching which is why i try to watch as many different people with as many different skin tones and colourings try colours i'm really interested in to see if they have any surprising ways they pull on people. it's not perfect but sometimes it works. i hear you about pulling warm. that's my other fear about MMario (and other brands in general) - there seems to be almost a fear of grey in makeup, unless it's actual black or grey. i just got the Stone Cold Fox palette from ColourPop and it took me an actual year to make the decision on that - and i was SO disappointed i was almost angry! every single one of the colours, with the exception of the black, the deeper grey, the metallic silver, and ONE of the light-medium taupe shades, pulls not just warm, but brown on me. in all the images and swatches i've seen people do i've picked up mauves, greys, taupes, all this wonderful range. i got it in persaon and i swatched them all on my arm and they literally all looked brown except the greys. i was blown away. all the colours people were describing as the 'mauves,' 'roses' and 'pinks' were straight up brown - and not neutral, but warm. the taupes have no grey in them whatsoever - they're just brown with, on my skin, a clear yellow or orange bias, despite whatever other bias they might have (yellow or warm pinky-brown, etc). i can't wear any of the shimmers but the silver one - they all have a gold cast and a warmth to them and make my skin look ruddy and weird. i am so disappointed - i was expected honestly about half the palette to be unusable without doctoring it with about 50% grey/white/silver, but this was shocking to me given how many cool-toned people i've seen try it on and have it look cool-toned on them. i've been to the Finding Ferdinand website and i saw they have the colour picker/mixer. i'm going to give that another go. to be quite honest with you, even if i end up having to pay an astronomical price for a lipstick (because i'm in Canada, and most things are American or European and so there's exhange, duties, heavy shipping fees, etc), if it ends up suiting me and being a colour that does what i need it to without having to have a backup stash of products to modify it, i'd probably just rather pay the price to go the more expensive route. i mean, even in the past when i had a lipstick i loved, so little product actually gets used each time - it would take me years to go through a tube. so it's a worthwhile investment to me. i'm not someone who wants a huge collection of makeup - i just want products i can rely on, to do a small handful of looks. it's just so hard to find those products! and i hear you about the gloss thing. most of the time i find a colour i love, it's in gloss format. i used to love glosses but i don't anymore. i still like the texture but glosses tend to be the more fragranced products, they tend to be more prone to shimmer/glitter (which i no longer wear well on the cheeks or lips), and they tend to be sheer and shiny, which are not qualities i look for anymore. in lip products, i'm looking for things that have intense enough colour that i can use very little, because i love the colour but dislike the lasting sensation of product sitting anywhere on my face, and maybe a soft matte to cream formula would be my ideal for lips. i got Urban Decay Vice Shine lipstick in Local and i LOVE the colour - it's a beautiful, sheer, mid-toned lilac pink colour - but the shine is a lot for me, even with a blotted layer. they have a really nice texture though, and stay moisturizing on the lips, and best of all no fragrance.
@@bristremel1554 I've actually never tried those urban decay lipsticks and am curious now! I'm heading out to ulta right now and going to swatch them. I noticed they have one online that looks really similar to Local but is in their more satin/matte formula called Backtalk specifically I wanted to go see. BTW I think Phytosurgence that I mentioned in another comment is a Canadian company...not 100% on that but I feel like I saw that somewhere...yes! I just checked and they are in Vancouver so free shipping for you.
Finally! I needed this video! I LOVE nude lipsticks but so many just end up looking orange on me. I am continually on the hunt for the “perfect” cool toned pale nude lipstick! So far my #1 is Dior Rouge 220 Beige Couture And #2 is Givenchy Le Rouge Sheer Velvet 09 Beige Sable.
Yep I love that Dior 220 as well, so pretty although I need to go try their satin version of it to see if it pulls more orange. I think the matte nature of the formula actually cools it down just a tad. I want to try that Givenchy one so thanks for sharing!
Thank you! And I just went looking for the Lisara lip oil and they are all currently unavailable on Amazon...shoot! I'm out of mine and wanted to get more but no luck...so sorry! Sometimes I find the same products by another name on Yesstyle so could try trolling around on there and see if there is something similar with same packaging that is likely the same thing? 🤷♂
Hi Jessica. I really love your videos! There are very few UA-camrs with the same skin tone as mine. All the lip liners you showed in this video have been discontinued in Europe. Could you show some alternatives?
Thank you! And darn on the lip liners! We still have them all here. Can you get Elf liners? They are SO cheap (like $2) but are still really great quality! I specifically like Mauve Aside, Baddest Beige & Pinky Swear amzn.to/3UXPXht and a very similar but more expensive mauve lip liner is Honey Bee Gardens in Perfection amzn.to/3YxiXNZ
@@redgirlreviews Exactly! I know the color will look great on me! I wish cosmetic companies would list if a lipstick was cool or warm toned on the packaging .
Absolutely! That's why I also have my blue lippies to adjust...sigh. There is literally not ONE Charlotte Tilbury lipstick that doesn't look ultra warm on me unless I 'adjust' it...and she's a redhead! A warm one though I guess. 😞
@@redgirlreviews Yes i've noticed that too with CT makeup in general, i have asked them if there is color liostick that suits redheads and they said that Charlotte actually recommends a warm toned lipstick to complement red hair so the warm tones from the red hair comes back in the lipstick.But when it's too warm it just doesn't look good on me, i have a couple that i never use and i haven't bought any new ones for many years now.🤷♀️😏
Yes supposedly Pillow Talk looks good on everyone...yeah, NO. It's a gawdy orangish pink on me. The medium toned pillow talk is warm but wearable as a sort of cranberry color but that's it..sigh. I'm going to Sephora today to check out the new shades in the Lawless Lip gloss and lip tint that looks lavender online...might actually be cool toned, super curious!@@TheBoots72
@@redgirlreviews girl i'm gonna be back to ask if you find it again if it disappears. it looks so perfect. do you know of any balmy lipsticks that are like it? i've tried chanel boy but it's still not quite right
@@faye.allister so far nothing comes to mind that is that perfect very light cool mauve color in another formula but when I get mine in the mail again I might go swatching through my collection again to see. If I could find something that had a formula like the YSL candy glaze or love shine formulas or the Dior Addict formula I think that would be my holy grail lipstick so I'm thinking I haven't found it yet unfortunately!
So good! I wish I had this info 20 years ago, lol. That look at the very end when you have a regular warm lipstick on next to the color-corrected one? Girl, that’s me in every lipstick ever. HOW ARE THEY ALL CORAL/PEACH/ORANGE??? How is that possible?
OMG for REAL it's like our skin tones literally turn lipsticks ultra orange! 🤣 The Milani lipsticks are super popular and supposedly beautiful pinky nudes on other people (I've seen them look like cool pink on my Indian friend's skin!) and it is straight up ORANGE on me....ughhhh.
Interesting, I do wonder how much is my lighting though. I'm switching to even cooler lighting after ordering some new lights for Christmas. In this video underneath me I have a strip of warm/cool mixed lights and I can really see it reflected on my skin in this video. Certainly the way makeup wears on me and how I can turn anything orange looking I'd still say I'm pretty darn cool but do lean neutral sometimes.

i have this ongoing dream of starting my own line that is muted, cool-toned colours for fair and cool-toned folks. i've seen lots of people (even people who aren't cool-toned but are definitely fair) lament the overabundance of saturation in makeup colours. right now i'm on the lookout for the perfect, very pale, cool-toned nude lipstick, specifically for an ombrêd look i have the perfect brown lip liner for (Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Cappuccino). for me it'll have to have a greyish-purple undertone to look its best. i also only support cruelty free brands and i struggle with fragrance so it's even more of a process! the closest i've come so far is Makeup by Mario Super Satin lipstick in either Midtown (which is described as 'neutral'; in this case i would consider a true neutral because i plan to wear it with a darker, cool brown lip liner which will cool/muddy the colour even further) or South Shore, although South Shore looks darker than my intended purpose on most of the people i've seen swatch it. however i worry about the fragrance because i know it has one - only one person i've watched has described it, saying it is a "very faint" vanilla scent. i'm still trying to decide if i want to take the risk - in Canada where i live, it retails for $38 which is a big investment for me.
@@bristremel1554 I hear ya and am also always searching for that perfect pale muddy nudy cool color as well. Have you seen some of my cool lipstick videos? Some of those might work but most of the ones that are like that that I've found tend to be lip glosses instead..argh. Finding Ferdinand has a color picker that allows you to make your own lipstick that I might give a go though... BTW have you seen the MMario lippies in store yet and swatched them? I was very excited when they came out and went and checked them out and was so bummed to find they ALL pulled SO warm on me. I was specifically looking at South Shore as well. I don't remember a smell but I didn't put them on my lips so can't say for sure...
@@redgirlreviews i watched this one and i'm about halfway through your video on cool browns - i have it open in another tab as we speak. i will do a search on your videos and see what else i can find.
i haven't been able to go in-store. for me shopping in-person hasn't been feasible for such a long time. i'm basically limited to online searching which is why i try to watch as many different people with as many different skin tones and colourings try colours i'm really interested in to see if they have any surprising ways they pull on people. it's not perfect but sometimes it works.
i hear you about pulling warm. that's my other fear about MMario (and other brands in general) - there seems to be almost a fear of grey in makeup, unless it's actual black or grey. i just got the Stone Cold Fox palette from ColourPop and it took me an actual year to make the decision on that - and i was SO disappointed i was almost angry! every single one of the colours, with the exception of the black, the deeper grey, the metallic silver, and ONE of the light-medium taupe shades, pulls not just warm, but brown on me. in all the images and swatches i've seen people do i've picked up mauves, greys, taupes, all this wonderful range. i got it in persaon and i swatched them all on my arm and they literally all looked brown except the greys. i was blown away. all the colours people were describing as the 'mauves,' 'roses' and 'pinks' were straight up brown - and not neutral, but warm. the taupes have no grey in them whatsoever - they're just brown with, on my skin, a clear yellow or orange bias, despite whatever other bias they might have (yellow or warm pinky-brown, etc). i can't wear any of the shimmers but the silver one - they all have a gold cast and a warmth to them and make my skin look ruddy and weird. i am so disappointed - i was expected honestly about half the palette to be unusable without doctoring it with about 50% grey/white/silver, but this was shocking to me given how many cool-toned people i've seen try it on and have it look cool-toned on them.
i've been to the Finding Ferdinand website and i saw they have the colour picker/mixer. i'm going to give that another go. to be quite honest with you, even if i end up having to pay an astronomical price for a lipstick (because i'm in Canada, and most things are American or European and so there's exhange, duties, heavy shipping fees, etc), if it ends up suiting me and being a colour that does what i need it to without having to have a backup stash of products to modify it, i'd probably just rather pay the price to go the more expensive route. i mean, even in the past when i had a lipstick i loved, so little product actually gets used each time - it would take me years to go through a tube. so it's a worthwhile investment to me. i'm not someone who wants a huge collection of makeup - i just want products i can rely on, to do a small handful of looks. it's just so hard to find those products!
and i hear you about the gloss thing. most of the time i find a colour i love, it's in gloss format. i used to love glosses but i don't anymore. i still like the texture but glosses tend to be the more fragranced products, they tend to be more prone to shimmer/glitter (which i no longer wear well on the cheeks or lips), and they tend to be sheer and shiny, which are not qualities i look for anymore. in lip products, i'm looking for things that have intense enough colour that i can use very little, because i love the colour but dislike the lasting sensation of product sitting anywhere on my face, and maybe a soft matte to cream formula would be my ideal for lips. i got Urban Decay Vice Shine lipstick in Local and i LOVE the colour - it's a beautiful, sheer, mid-toned lilac pink colour - but the shine is a lot for me, even with a blotted layer. they have a really nice texture though, and stay moisturizing on the lips, and best of all no fragrance.
@@bristremel1554 I've actually never tried those urban decay lipsticks and am curious now! I'm heading out to ulta right now and going to swatch them. I noticed they have one online that looks really similar to Local but is in their more satin/matte formula called Backtalk specifically I wanted to go see. BTW I think Phytosurgence that I mentioned in another comment is a Canadian company...not 100% on that but I feel like I saw that somewhere...yes! I just checked and they are in Vancouver so free shipping for you.
Finally! I needed this video! I LOVE nude lipsticks but so many just end up looking orange on me. I am continually on the hunt for the “perfect” cool toned pale nude lipstick! So far my #1 is Dior Rouge 220 Beige Couture
And #2 is Givenchy Le Rouge Sheer Velvet 09 Beige Sable.
Yep I love that Dior 220 as well, so pretty although I need to go try their satin version of it to see if it pulls more orange. I think the matte nature of the formula actually cools it down just a tad. I want to try that Givenchy one so thanks for sharing!
Mayballine matte crayon in trust your gut
Love the video thank you :) I recommend "FemmeBot" by Pat Mcgrath! "Modern Woman" will be my next to try when there is a good sale on.
Thank you! Also thanks for the recommendations. I will definitely check those out!
I so needed this video! Many pink, nude, lipsticks pull orange on me. I never understood why. 😊
I can't find that Amazon one smoke grey pink? Link doesn't work. Please help. Great videos!
Thank you! And I just went looking for the Lisara lip oil and they are all currently unavailable on Amazon...shoot! I'm out of mine and wanted to get more but no luck...so sorry! Sometimes I find the same products by another name on Yesstyle so could try trolling around on there and see if there is something similar with same packaging that is likely the same thing? 🤷♂
Amazing thank you for that ❤️
absolutely! I just recorded another video with all new ones that have just released that I'm loving right now so that will be up soon!
@@redgirlreviews 😃👌
Hi Jessica. I really love your videos! There are very few UA-camrs with the same skin tone as mine. All the lip liners you showed in this video have been discontinued in Europe. Could you show some alternatives?
Thank you! And darn on the lip liners! We still have them all here. Can you get Elf liners? They are SO cheap (like $2) but are still really great quality! I specifically like Mauve Aside, Baddest Beige & Pinky Swear amzn.to/3UXPXht and a very similar but more expensive mauve lip liner is Honey Bee Gardens in Perfection amzn.to/3YxiXNZ
Thank you!!!!!!!❤
Love those blue glosses at the end. On the rare occasion I wear red I’ll put a blue gloss on over it.
It's SO useful to have adjuster shades...they often look crazy on their own but they really help fix problem colors sometimes.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I will be spending my paycheck on these lipsticks! 💄
at least the $ won't be wasted on something orange though! 😂
@@redgirlreviews Exactly! I know the color will look great on me! I wish cosmetic companies would list if a lipstick was cool or warm toned on the packaging .
it would be nice but I've found that they will often describe something as a 'cool pink' and I put it on me and am like uhhhhh no.😂@@mocuishle1028
You're my dream! So glad I found your channel! 🧡
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! 🥰
Hello Jessica, great video! Which shade do you think would look good on my fair skin, with black hair and hazel eyes?
I’d have to see a pic of you to say for sure. If you want to send some to me at jdougherty26@comcast.net I’d be happy to suggest some though. ☺️
Thanks so much, we don't have a return policy here when it comes to makeup except when it's unopened.So this is really helpful 😊❤
Absolutely! That's why I also have my blue lippies to adjust...sigh. There is literally not ONE Charlotte Tilbury lipstick that doesn't look ultra warm on me unless I 'adjust' it...and she's a redhead! A warm one though I guess. 😞
@@redgirlreviews Yes i've noticed that too with CT makeup in general, i have asked them if there is color liostick that suits redheads and they said that Charlotte actually recommends a warm toned lipstick to complement red hair so the warm tones from the red hair comes back in the lipstick.But when it's too warm it just doesn't look good on me, i have a couple that i never use and i haven't bought any new ones for many years now.🤷♀️😏
Yes supposedly Pillow Talk looks good on everyone...yeah, NO. It's a gawdy orangish pink on me. The medium toned pillow talk is warm but wearable as a sort of cranberry color but that's it..sigh. I'm going to Sephora today to check out the new shades in the Lawless Lip gloss and lip tint that looks lavender online...might actually be cool toned, super curious!@@TheBoots72
@@redgirlreviews Let us know 😁
Gah! They were sold out and didn't have a tester...darn!@@TheBoots72
The Lisara gloss looked so beautiful but I can't find it on amazon or ebay 😭do you have a dupe??
@@faye.allister I think I found it under a different name on Amazon here! a.co/d/3AVn1Nw
@@redgirlreviews omg thank you
I used up my other one so I ordered one too before I can’t find them anymore! 😂
@@redgirlreviews girl i'm gonna be back to ask if you find it again if it disappears. it looks so perfect. do you know of any balmy lipsticks that are like it? i've tried chanel boy but it's still not quite right
@@faye.allister so far nothing comes to mind that is that perfect very light cool mauve color in another formula but when I get mine in the mail again I might go swatching through my collection again to see. If I could find something that had a formula like the YSL candy glaze or love shine formulas or the Dior Addict formula I think that would be my holy grail lipstick so I'm thinking I haven't found it yet unfortunately!
So good! I wish I had this info 20 years ago, lol. That look at the very end when you have a regular warm lipstick on next to the color-corrected one? Girl, that’s me in every lipstick ever. HOW ARE THEY ALL CORAL/PEACH/ORANGE??? How is that possible?
OMG for REAL it's like our skin tones literally turn lipsticks ultra orange! 🤣 The Milani lipsticks are super popular and supposedly beautiful pinky nudes on other people (I've seen them look like cool pink on my Indian friend's skin!) and it is straight up ORANGE on me....ughhhh.
25:30 thats does look like perfection on you😍🌞
I LOVE that one and thank you!
What are you wearing on your eyes
I'm pretty sure I was wearing the purples and silver metallics from the Cold Moon palette but can't remember for sure.
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I see you as more 'peachy', and not a true 'cool'....
I am def. a cool, even though my hair bleaches out to some red/brassy undertone.
Interesting, I do wonder how much is my lighting though. I'm switching to even cooler lighting after ordering some new lights for Christmas. In this video underneath me I have a strip of warm/cool mixed lights and I can really see it reflected on my skin in this video. Certainly the way makeup wears on me and how I can turn anything orange looking I'd still say I'm pretty darn cool but do lean neutral sometimes.
Too much lip filler you can start to see a ledge on the vermillion border.
Yo stop being a hater you’ve commented like four times on this same woman. It aint your face so stop worrying about whats in it
