Weird question but I’m not sure why I would put on a beautiful lipstick like Flower Beauty in the color Spiced Petal similar to Pillow Talk and my lips take on a purplish hue. Help?? I love colors like this but am clueless as to what color to buy. Please help thanks

@jobiz  - Did you use a lip pencil underneath the lipstick?  I have that lipstick also and like it.  Yesterday I was wearing a Wayne Goss lipstick.  In the morning, I didn't use a lip pencil but in the afternoon I thought I would try it with one and it was not a good idea.  Used a lip pencil that was a neutral almost my lip color shade, lined my lips and I do fill in a little bit.  Well, it changed the shade of the lipstick to one I didn't like much at all.  Thought I'd mention this in case you had used a lip pencil.

Hi @jobiz. Same here! I can't wear Pillow talk either. It's so pretty swatched on my arm but  looks a  purple gray ghastly color on my lips. I think it's because of my natural lip color.  Maybe too pigmented. I've tried concealer first you name it. It's just not the tone for me. Oddly enough, I can wear the liner fine. I am a light-medium neutral so maybe there's  too much brown in it.

 

Charlotte Tilbury's In Love with Olivia and Dance floor Princess look much better on me. Maybe check those out to dupe if we have similar issues with Pillow Talk.

@DianeJ2  - The lipstick I used yesterday - Lily - is very nice.  Mid-tone rose color.  Didn't dry my lips out at all.  Has the staying power of most lipsticks.   The liner I used wasn't one of Wayne's though.

Try using a lip pencil base even if you have to buy one, especially if you are in love with that shade.
