Well, I'm definitely in the 50 plus age group, and I find that dark and bright lipsticks are aging on me. However, I can get away with darker or brighter colors if I go with a sheer lipstick. I ordered three of the JH sheers some months ago and love them. Nice and sheer and very emollient too. Existential Lady is quite right that Kiki is a peachy corally color, but very pale. Biba is a light nude, and Jules is a beautiful rusty red-brown. I think Biba and Jules are best for warm complexions, and Kiki could go either way. The best thing about these lippies is how good they are for layering--Biba softens and warms lipsticks that are too bright/cool/dark for me. And Kiki tones down lipsticks too. Jules got retired over the summer, but once fall kicks in, it's back in my rotation.
I can't wait to try film noir. And her concealer pencil sounds great as a reverse lip liner, especially for us 50 plussers... |

My EDS order arrived last week and among the goodies I ordered was film noir lipstick. It is nicely sheer but with a good pop of color to it. Although the description is that it is a blackberry stain, I would say that it is not as purple toned as that would imply. I consider it a lovely neutral berry tone. It's beautiful on its own and can be warmed up a tad by layering it over biba.
I have found through trial and error that my preferred lipsticks are sheer but with noticeable color to them. They flatter my 50-plus mature face more than in-your-face saturated colors or nudes that just make me look older and tired. Film noir and jules are my two favorite JH sheers, with kiki and biba better as layering and softening lipsticks.
One of these days I will do a long post about my adventures looking for the perfect sheer lipsticks. I think I may have tried 'em all... |
