Hi Shanus,

I have small lips . What color lipstick should I be looking for. I have medium warm skin tone with yellow undertones.Should I be looking for nude colors or light pink or peach colors? Thanks for reading.

Any recommendations would be helpful.

Have a great day.

Do you really like such light colors?

I have never worn nude (defeats the purpose, just use chapstick), and I only wear very light colors in the day in the Summer, but rarely.

I like reds with either tinges of orange (day, brighter) or tinges of purple (evening, richer.)

I like lipstick that is also healthy for my lips, and adds moisture, protects from UV, etc. I rarely wear mattes as they are too drying.

I am not sure what the size of your lips has to do with anything--jsut smile, and your mouth is as beautiful as everyone else's!

@cuddlesmama Definitely stay with a more pale lip color. Dark shades make the lips appear smaller. I think a peachy, coral shade would look good with your warm complexion. A spot of lipgloss in the center of the lips adds a bit of shine that gives the illusion of a larger lip. Good luck finding your prfect shade. BTW, lip liner helps, too. Go slightly over your natural lip line and then blend so there's not a definite line showing.

@cuddlesmama I'm no expert when it comes to make-up, but I don't have the biggest lips out there either and I know that I prefer lighter shades. I find corals and pinks very flattering.

I detest dark lipsticks on me and they definitely make the lips look smaller.

I don't think any of these lip glosses that claim to plump your lips, actually do that. The illusion comes from the light reflectiveness of the gloss. That causes your lips to look fuller than they really are. And I totally agree about dark lipstick. It's going to make your lips look thinner and thinner lips, to me, look kinda angry.

. Thank you soo much for your input, I really appreciate it. Your tips are so helpful. I have never used lip liner so this will be new to me but i will give it a try, and I also think a peachy shade will be nice. Thank you soo much!!

Do that in the body of the text though. It doesn't work in the title for some reason, @cuddlesmama

Has hus made his second million since didn't make first million?.Has he retired?Always, Sligo

@sligo

No, I don't have any new fragrances. The last one was Kilian's Smokin' Hot. Not fresh. Smoky and sweet. Too much of a fall/winter fragrance to wear just yet.

DH has NOT retired yet. His clients keep calling and he won't say no. Baby steps. I have encouraged him to take one day a week off. It's officially on our Google Calendar that is shared with his designers. "Unavailable" on Tuesdays and that won't even start till the 3rd Tues in Sept. So he's still working on his second million (g)

Did you buy one of the Kilian fragrances? If so, which one?
