I love the roundup, it is much easier to see the differences of these delicate shades this way.

I like that you really mixed them up in the montage. In design, the only was to determine the choice of one shade over another, is by placing it next to one that looks very different, rather than somewhat the same. This way the colour can speak for itself.

Thank you for the roundup! It’s really helpful to see them all next to eachother! My fave is Santal. I loved it when I first saw your swatch but thought it was pricey for a lip product…Then, I tried it on a few days ago and wondered why I didn’t buy it earlier. It is gorgeous!

I LOVE this “collection” you gathered! 🙂 I have to check out UD and Lancome they are soooooooo pretty.

Do you mind me copying this picture to a foreign cosmetic forum website? They (and I ) are non-English speaker. I will make sure to post a link to your website.

If that’s not permitted, let me know and I will delete it from their forum.

Thanks:)

I just picked up Benefit Candy Store today and I ADORE it! I’ve never tried on any Benefit lipsticks and I can’t believe how wonderful they feel on. I love how light they are, and not tacky at all . . . I am definitely going to have to check out other colors of theirs now, too!

the round-up is the best way to go. I was hoping you could help me decide which shade of bobbi brown tinted moisturizer i should go for? my complexion is pretty much identical to yours with the same undertones. oh and which is better for a dewy, glowing look? bobbi or kiehls? THANKS ALOT!

It’s great to see all these colors together. I can really choose which one I like best. My favorites are No 11 Lancome Love It! and No 19 Guerlain Gemma Lipstick. Thanks for all this Christine 🙂 Sometimes I ask myself when do you find the time to do this all. 🙂

I like 5, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19. I already own 10 and 19 (Guerlain G’s), and planning on buying 14, 15 and 16 (Benefit Candy Store, Chanel Exquise and Lancome Voile de Rose (not available in the UK yet)).

Hey Christine!

Could you tell me if there is any lipstick that looks like Maybelline Caramel Kiss that’s sold in Europe? It’s my favourite from all these and I just find out that this shade isn’t available around here 🙁
