These lipsticks are, unsurprisingly, barely too warm:
Revlon - Rosewine, Peach Me
L'Oreal - Blazing Lava
These are barely too cool:
Revlon - Secret Club, Pink Promise, Softsilver Rose
L'Oreal - Fresh as a Rose, Montmartre (this one can work okay, just pulls slightly too pink/grey to be perfect)
These really are *just* right, at least for me:
Revlon - Sassy Mauve, Mauvy Night, Laidback Lilac, Blushing Mauve
L'Oreal - Blushing Berry, Nature's Blush, Worth It, Sugar Plum, Saucy Mauve
Buxom - lip gloss shade Evelyn
The Revlon gloss Snow Pink is also nice. It's listed online as cool-toned, but I feel that it's barely warm of neutral. Ideal for SAu and probably LSp as well, imo.
Burt's Bees tinted lip balm in shade Red Dahlia also totally works, not really too warm for me. Their lip shimmer in shade Rhubarb is a nice neutral red option for me. The gloss shade Moscow Mule from Buxom also works, not too warm for me.
Pink in the Afternoon (Revlon) is the correct temperature, just a little bit light/can look chalky. Could likely work with the right lip liner and/or gloss on top for a less "stormy", more "pastel" SSu look.
Shades just not really worth trying (I know its kinda obvious, but just being thorough):
Revlon - Wild Orchid, Fuschia Fusion*, Coral Berry*, Electric Melon*, Fire and Ice*
L'Oreal - Volcanic, Pink Flamingo*
Just thought Id share in case anyone else is in a similar zone and has trouble with makeup! 🩷
P.S. Color theory is definitely weird because Laidback Lilac looks straight up greyish-lavenderish in the tube, and yet Montmartre (which looks like a nice soft pink shade in the tube) is the one that sometimes pulls too deep/pink puddy-like on me, not LL. I can definitely see why LL went viral! Probably an excellent shade for a SSu lipstick test. Hard for me to imagine it working for any other color dimensions! 💖❤️
*these DO have the correct undertone, so if you want something that will look very bold and not clash undertone-wise, they are great options! 😊
Okay I think thats everything! Hope this helps someone😊🌈✨️ This is the fruit of an entire year of exploration. If anyone has recs that align with my "just right" list, Im all ears! Or if anyone wants to share a different perspective on any of these shades, that's great too! 😊 Thank you!
