I am looking for a new one. Everything I have is to pink. I think it makes me look too young. I have very fair skin & was think of a peachy beige, but they all look so colorless on me. I am going for a sophistiacted, but not over done look.
Any suggestions? Should I move away from CVS & towards Sephora or a department store?

My favorite lipstick is by Estee Lauder. It is called Pinkberry and it SMELLS pretty as well as looking creamy and pretty.

I don't think you have to necessarily move away from the drug store cosmetics...If you find something you like, then who cares where you bought it...
I love Almay...They have some excellent brownish tones...If you can get to a Rite Aid, buy your stuff there! You can return opened, used makeup!

Re: Do you have a favorite lipstick?
what about some violet-based colors? like sheer lilacs? I'm very fair too (I prefer the term 'pasty'!) and I find violets are very flattering, especially with blue/green eyes.

My all time favorite is Benetint by Benefit. It lasts all day long and is a cheerful cherry red, not a scary vamp red. I've also just recently discovered Bobbi Brown's lipsticks, which are mostly neutral red-browns or pink-browns.

I frequent all 3, usually I get my lipsticks from Rite Aid, Cvs, Duane Reade, b/c change my mind a lot. I never bring stuff back.
I just thought maybe seeing samples might help. I have an almay I like, I bought it for my wedding, but it is too pink for when I am wearing other makeup.

I am almost purchased that several times. I thought it was too red for me. I used a Lorac lip stain for a while that was a deep red, but I needed soem shien in my life. I have a Loarac lip polish in a great pinky beige, but it slides of so qickly.

Yes - I think department store lines have a larger variety of colors. My favorites are Clinique and MAC.

For my department store fav: Lara Mercier- Tender Lips (its a deepreddish brickish/ brownish but mre red) LOVE IT!
Also nice is: MAc- plum liner withTwig lipstick and oystergirl lipglass

Re: Do you have a favorite lipstick?
I don't have the time or $$ for department stores, so I usually buy my lipstick in CVS, and that way I cna try out new colors and I buy them when they're buy one get one free. My favorite lipsticks are Revlon Colorstay overtime lip color. if you apply it properly it really does stay on for 8 hours. i LOVE it, and it has a really nice glossy topcoat. they also have a sheer version that's really nice and light for everyday wear. The colors are great. I have fair skin so for daytime I wear endless spice, faithful fawn or bare maximum and for nighttime I wear endless spice , true chocolate, and I forget the other, redder one. Around the holidays they come out with lipsticks with sparkle topcoats. I love it

I love the Revlon Iced Mocha color (I am very fair too--it is a light pinkish-brown). There's an Estee Lauder one I also really like, but I can't remember the name. I stick to brownish/copper shades because I have reddish-brown hair...

YOU GOT PURPLE MONKEY LIPS!!!!!
I *USED* to have a favorite lipstick until Clinique stopped making it and I've been miserable ever since. ALL lipsticks have a yucky taste to me (the Clinique one didn't)

purple monkey lips! I now you didn't mean clownish purple, but I had this big Barbie head with make up & I'd always use the purple lipstick- Like Harold and the Purple Crayon purple. . . Can't that image out of my mind.
Intesting ly though, I looked up Lorac Lip Polish in Tickle on Sephora's website & it is describe as a pink-plum. So maybe a little purple is the way to go. I think I tried Revlon color stay & didn't like it--I can't remeber though.
Today at lunch I bought Revlon Superlsuteorus lipgloss in Coffe Gleam & MIlaniSante Fe SUnset. Both Darker than I was thinking, sort f Maub-ish, but I think I like them.
Melani s sa pretty cheesy brand I think, but it has dcent consitency, I wore their Rose Fetish for my wedding along with some other stuff over & under it.
ETA--I think I have dark lips for a pale girl. I think that is part of my problem.

Bonne Bell gloss - Cappuccino
Revlon - Coffee Bean
Clinique - Black Honey
Chanel Glossimer - Spark
MAC LipGlass - Chai and Spite
I think Black Honey and Spark are shades that work with every skin tone.
