Skin tone: Under my name. I am very fair so almost all blushes appear very pigmented for me so I have to be careful when applying them. I always tap off and then if it is a blush I have used before and know the formula, I will go straight to face but if not, I always swirl off on my wrist.
I didn’t use to be much of a coral wearer but a blush I purchased from Fudejapan changed my perspective and now I own several. My current favorite is Chantecaille Laughter which was the philanthropic Save The Coral Reefs, blush.
Favorite Coral lipstick: This is an area I find more problematic. A lot of coral lipsticks are white based which usually does not look attractive on me, personally. I think the only real coral that I own and wear, with wear being the operative word, is the L’Oreal Colour Riche Shine in Positively Coral. It is pigmented enough to give me that coral vibe. With really pigmented lips it is hard to get a coral to cover and look good.
Coral e/s: I honestly am not sure I have a favorite coral e/s. I am sure there is probably a true coral in a few of the many palettes I own but none springs to mind as a favorite.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Favorite coral lip product? I don’t like coral and coral doesn’t suit me; the closest lipstick I have to “coral” is probably MAC Impassioned
Favorite coral blush? oh dear….probably a blush that looks coral in the pan but doesn’t apply coral – it’s the shade “Love” from IT Cosmetic’s LE CC Radiance face palette; I also don’t totally dislike (talk about “damnin with faint praise”) Benefit Coralista or TheBalm Hot Mama but I hardly ever reach for them
Favorite coral eye product? No such thing for me
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite coral lip product? The Balm BalmJour Creamy Lip Stain in Hola!
Favorite coral blush? Flower Beauty Blush Bomb in Melon.
Favorite coral eye product? Colourpop Sweet talk palette!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, brown dark eyes and hair
I’m definitely not a coral fan… I don’t have anything with the color itself, just that most coral don’t look good on me. It’s odd because it looks so good on other people.
Favorite coral lip product? Coral lipsticks (and usually most bright colors) simply don’t look good on me. Maybe something like MAC Fanfare… but things like MAC Impassioned or Vegas Volt look horrible on me.
Favorite coral blush? Coral blushes are somewhat do-able for me and MAC Springsheen is a favorite; it definitely needs to be a coral that is not that pigmented / dark / opaque and needs to have some shimmer to work on me.
Favorite coral eye product? Coral eyeshadows, along with anything red, orange or yellow tones, enter the category `eyeshadow color that make me look like I didn’t sleep for 10 days`. 😆 Maybe a coral that is sheer and shimmery like MAC All That Glitters works for me, but applied just on the lid slightly.
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral/warm undertones
Favorite coral lip product: Milani I Am Happy, Colourpop Flower SZN and Superbloom
Favorite coral blush: Flower Beauty Melon, Colourpop Growth Flirt, Buxom Mykonos
Favorite coral eye product: Colourpop The Ram pigment and Flowerboy eyeshadow and the coral shades in the Huda Neon Orange Obsessions palette
Light neutral beige with a hint of olive green.
Coral is supposed to be one of those universal colours, but I really do not care for it against my skintone. Most run too close to orange which is ghastly on me. I can wear heavily pinked corals, but again, cosmetic wise it’s too much a risk so I don’t bother even looking.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Favorite coral lip product? MAC Crosswires
Favorite coral blush? NARS Orgasm
Favorite coral eye product? I don’t like how coral looks on my eyes, so no favorite.
Your skin tone/coloring: Next to my name! (blue-green eyes)
Favorite coral lip product? Sooo many! Newest favorite is MAC See Sheer. But, I still love UD Streak (Revolution version) and Tryst, MAC Make Me Gorgeous, and
PMG Candy Flip.
Favorite coral blush? MAC Spring Flock always and forever!
Favorite coral eye product? Most of my favorite coral e/s’s are in the CP Yes, Please palette. Plus, MAC Arena, Viseart Coy #3 and #12!
I love MAC’s Make Me Gorgeous! I almost mentioned Spring Flock but was trying to limit myself to three in each category.
Medium warm (MAC NC30)
Coral lip: Guerlain Girly, Tom Ford Giacomo, and NARS Greta. I have worn all three in the past two weeks. I have also been wearing MAC Impassioned, Tom Ford Michael, and I have MAC’s Flocking Fabulous on right now.
Coral blush: MAC Fleeting Romance, Chanel Foschia Rosa, and NARS Crave. Wearing Foschia Rosa as I write this.
Coral eye: I have been reaching for Nectar in Viseart Petit Pro two every week this past couple months. I love Coy #3 and #5 also.
Pink coral, uh, no. Especially for lips. Very clashy; I look better in Navy! Far prefer orange and red corals, but even they get short shrift. Blush is better, because it blends out. I tend to use the ones that are near to grab, like recent Nars palettes. BITD, some Coralista and Bella Bamba. For eyes, maybe a bit, with neutrals or other colors, primarily from CP or SG palettes. I used to be able to wear coral…. maybe the change? Red rather than pink undertones? Who knows? I never buy it deliberately and look equally terrible in coral and warm pink tops. And I’m the exception to the rule about the universality of Orgasm. It looks pretty dreadful on me.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 15-20, med brown hair and eyes, oily skin
Favorite coral lip product? MAC Sunny Seoul and Flamingo Lipsticks
Favorite coral blush?
NARS Orgasm. Too Faced Papa Don’t Peach.
Favorite coral eye product? MAC Paradisco, Coral, Sushi Flower. Coral peachy shades from Too Faced Sweet Peach palette
Oh my gosh, I used to LOVE Sushi Flower❤❤❤
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Favorite coral lip product? MAC Lipstick in La Vie En Rouge
Favorite coral blush? My favorite blush color! Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove; NARS Fetishized; Kevyn Aucoin the Neo-Blush Trio in Sunset; MAC Spring Flock; Tarte Bashful; MAC Pearlmatte Face Powder in Oh, My Passion!; and Dior Rouge Blush in Hologlam.
Favorite coral eye product? NARS Elektra from the Danger Control Palette and Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Fireball
Rachel, again I forgot about MAC La Vie En Rouge! I guess because I still don’t know what to call it. It is coral, but so vivid and dark, that I always forget about it when the coral lipsticks question gets asked, LOL.
It really is one of those colors that morphs depending what you wear it with. It can look red-coral, bright warm red (when I wear it with red shirts and dresses), or fuchsia.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones.
Favourite coral lip product? I don’t wear coral lipstick myself, but my daughter in law, who is cool toned, loves them. I have bought her Clarin’s Joli Rouge lipstick in Coral Tulip, EA in Honeysuckle and Too Faced Honey Bear, which is her favourite coral lipstick.
Favourite coral blush? Currently I am using EA’s Sweet Peach blush, which is actually more corally toned than those considered peach, as it has no orangey undertones. It is beautiful.
Favourite coral eye product? No coral eyeshadows for me!
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/cool skin (foundation matches: Fenty Pro Filt’r 110, Urban Decay All Nighter 2.5, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear 2.0 Mont Blanc, Kevyn Aucoin The Etherealist Light EF 02, L’Oreal True Match C3 Creamy Natural), gray eyes, brown hair with red highlights and scattered blonde/blue strands.
With this kind of coloring, I’m really picky about corals-I have to be really careful with the undertone. Pink-coral’s the best, red-coral’s OK, orange-coral’s a no-go.
Favorite coral lip product? Urban Decay 100 Degrees lipstick-it straddles the line between pink-coral and straight-up pink.
Favorite coral blush? The closest is Tarte Unstoppable, but I think it’s more of a dark peach than a coral.
Favorite coral eye product? Maybe Kat Von D Ashley from the 10th Anniversary palette? It’s the only coral eye product that I can pinpoint as something I own.
See colouring above.
Lips: Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Pomegranate (discontinued ?)
Cheeks: LORAC Technicolour
Eyes: Colourpop Supershock in Goodbye Butterfly
Skintone – foundation shade is warm beige
Favourite coral lip product is Bare Minerals lipstick called Love.
