Chanel Fleurie (139) Rouge Allure Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle warm undertones and a pearly finish. There’s a subtle, very fine, shimmer that runs through it and gives it a higher sheen that’s not quite a frost finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage, and the consistency was lightly creamy so the lipstick glided across the lips without tugging or dragging. When I tested it, the color lasted for four hours and was lightly hydrating. Tom Ford Beauty Paradiso (07) (LE, $49.00) is brighter. Guerlain Attrape-Coeur (171) (LE, $35.00) is also brighter. YSL Caress Pink (9) (P, $34.00) is cooler-toned, brighter. YSL Rose Neillia (33) (P, $34.00) is darker, brighter. MAC Love Beam (LE, $20.00) is slightly darker. Givenchy Rose Taffetas (201) (P, $36.00) is lighter. Buxom Mistress (LE, $21.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler-toned. Urban Decay Rush (P, $22.00) is more muted. See comparison swatches.

Charmeuse (142) Rouge Allure Lipstick ($34.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light peachy-brown with soft, warm undertones and a pearly finish. It had semi-opaque to mostly opaque pigmentation–you can tell by how much my lip freckle gets covered. The formula was lightly creamy and glided on easily without dragging. It wore well for three and a half hours and was lightly hydrating. MAC Naked Bud (LE, $16.00) is similar. Maybelline Nude Lust (920) (P, $7.49) is lighter. Marc Jacobs Beauty Dizzy Spell (104) (P, $30.00) is warmer. MAC Close Contact (LE, $16.00) is less shimmery, lighter. See comparison swatches.

I think the Fleurie looks very pretty on you Christine, not sure about the Charmeuse though. I have a few Chanel lipsticks and I’ve found with some of the lighter ones (as pretty as they are) that after an hour or two they kinda disappear into nothingness bar a few vertical lines on my lips that the colour has settled into, which surprises me with a higher end brand. Love their Le volume mascara tho’!

Wow, I really like both of these, and I never say that about a ‘nude’ lipstick. I’m just not one for the “I have no lips” type of color. It just looks nice and natural, and I love the pink!

Both of these look very nice (i’m particularly leaning towards Charmeuse), but i think they may be a bit muted for the spring. I normally like going a bit brighter and bolder on the lips in spring, and its when i like to be the most fun with my make up. I’m not so sure about this, but i may think of investing in Charmeuse, simply because i can see myself getting a lot out of it, being a colour i would wear a lot.

Both are subtle, classic and most flattering on you! I’m sold (but i’m sure i have something similar in my stash already…). Thanks Christine.
